Frankly, pre-clearance is practically unconstitutional.
Under Section 2 of the 14th Amendment, the Federal government has one and only one remedy it may apply to a State that adversely impairs non-criminals of the right to vote, reduce their representation.
You have to play a bit fast and loose with Section 1 to get that to apply to voting rights, and if it did apply to voting rights, there would be no need for Section 2.
Alas, the Supreme Court has played fast and loose with Section 1 over the years to support various ideas both conservative and liberal.
