The Supreme Court has also supported this interpretation of the power of Congress to regulate the times. places. and manner of conducting congressional elections. For example. in Newberry v. United States. 256 U.S. 232 (1920). the Court stated: Many things are prerequisites to elections or may affect their outcomevoters. education. means of transportation. health. public discussion. immigration. private animosities. even the face and figure of the candidate. but authority to regulate the manner of holding them gives no right to control any of these (256 U.S. 232. 257). These sections are the only provisions of the Constitution dealing with the authority to determine the qualifications of voters. subject only to the 15th and 19th amendments. The 19th amendment. of course. prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex and is not relevant to this discussion.
