Anyone For Making Voting a Federal Right?

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Can you name any citizen who doesn’t have the right to vote?

Who in America of voting age does not have a right to vote?

Felons in several states

14th Amendment, Nazi.

God but you mothefuckers are stupid.

If you think the Fourteenth Amendment gives you the right to vote you would be the stupid one.

Who CAN’T Vote?​

• Non-citizens, including permanent legal residents
• Some people with felony convictions. Rules vary by state. Check with your state elections office about the laws in your state.
• Some people who are mentally incapacitated. Rules vary by state.
• For president in the general election: U.S. citizens residing in U.S. territories

Check with your state or local election office for any questions about who can and cannot vote.

State and local election offices can make voting extremely difficult and degrading depending on who and where you are. As mentioned U.S. citizens residing in U.S. territories can't even vote for President and have no voting federal representation.

As it should be. Some rights are lost when in prison.

You may think you already have such a right, but alas, no.. you don't. Why not? Because, believe it or not, some people here don't want other people being able to vote. Making it the law has actually been tried before and killed by those people. Good a time as any to try again, no?

I'd be for voting in federal elections to be FAIR AND EQUAL. That everyone has a right to an equal vote. One person, one vote, rather than the current nonsense which gives different people different strength of votes depending on where they live.

Nope....it's a Union of States....not the other way around. Has to stay that way.

Thanks for demonstrating you still can’t prove anyone has been denied the right to vote because of the lack of a federal law you are pining for.

Such a law would do a more to disenfranchise voting than anything Jim crow ever dreamed of. Once enacted if would proliferate into a massive bureaucracy dedicated to ensuring the status quo and more or less insulating corrupt elected officials from voter retaliation.

Actually, we do have a right to vote – but the Supreme Court has decided to not safeguard that right through the judicial process.

That leaves the political process, where such legislation is very much needed to defend that right from Republican state lawmakers.

You're full of shit...you always are.
"WE"....in your context includes millions of people who should not be voting.
Not gonna happen.

No reason they shouldn't be able to vote again after paying their debt to society.

Just because you've never read it Del, doesn't mean that the equal protection clause doesn't exist..

Fourteenth Amendment​

Fourteenth Amendment Annotated

Section 1​

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.}

It very much does protect the right to vote.

Let's see it Herr democrat?

It's the favorite lie of you Nazis, so let's see proof of people being denied the right to vote?

Come on, your Reich spews it, so let's see some proof?

Good grief. We have several affirmative action voting rights Constitutional Amendments on the books already, guaranteeing the right to vote by age, sex, race, color.

Those Amendments do authorize "appropriate legislation" on the part of Congress but unfortunately as long as Democrats are in control of the legal system, the Constitution as such is not law, and dumbass federal laws are always enacted and enforced as fiat without regard to the Constitution.

Of course, I've read it. Go ahead and keep talking and dig your hole deeper.

Sorry, not a Democrat. I'm independent due to being far more liberal than either half of our duopoly. Also, if you're really not illiterate and actually wish to see proof of people being denied voting rights, just follow the up arrows back to what you're pretending here to respond to and, right away you should find a list with the source linked.

Also, from Wikipedia:

The District of Columbia and five major territories of the United States have one non-voting member each (in the United States House of Representatives) and no representation in the United States Senate. People in the U.S. territories cannot vote for president of the United States.[7] People in the District of Columbia can vote for the president because of the Twenty-third Amendment.

As many have repeated already, the Constitution provides many protections against states treating people unequally with regard to elections. That obviously does not amount to granting or "guaranteeing" anyone a federal right to vote. No idea what "affirmative action" has to do with this. Far as the Constitution being law or not:

The law of the United States comprises many levels[1] of codified and uncodified forms of law, of which the most important is the United States Constitution, which prescribes the foundation of the federal government of the United States, as well as various civil liberties.

Really? Someone said it was a States of Union?

 

[M14 Shooter]

Shouldn't U.S. citizens residing in U.S. territories be legally entitled to vote for their President?

You'll have to amend the constitution for this.
Good luck.

Who is the "other" people? Who was it that "killed" "those people"?

Talk about stupid....you are too stupid to know it's the 15th, the 19th, the 24th, and the 26th Amendments. Maybe dementia has hit you hard.

Thanks. Being taxed by the Feds with no explicit right to federal representation? You can help.
