Untrue. The franchise, even for federal elections, was established by the states. At the Founding the qualifications were quite diverse, with something like half the states, including NC(!), allowing free black men the franchise, and a couple, if I remember correctly, allowing some women to vote.
Over the next few decades the franchise in every state was broadened to include all white men, but restricted to exclude women in all states and blacks in almost all.
But the federal government wasn't involved in this process.
Well if only white men were permitted to vote, we would not have the current occupant in the WH and trillions in debt.
