By showing that the laws are ripe for abuse, have been abused, have caused fundemental harm to individuals and infringe on rights that have been Constitutionally garunteed.
The laws are not "ripe for abuse", moreso than any others. In the past, no attempt was made to institute a reasonable poll tax or testing policy. The general concepts themselves, as specified in the Voting Rights Act, are not "ripe for abuse".

By your logic, taxes should be illegal, because in certain times and places in human history, the population has been taxed into poverty.

If it is your contention that no law that is federal is just, I think you will lose 99 % of your "audience". If you are contending that greater harm is caused by the law than is alleviated by the law, I believe you have failed to make a compelling case.
Then we will have to agree to disagree.
