Actually the electorial college isn't metioned except in Article 2. Article 1, Section 2 is talking about voter qualifications to vote for members of the House of Representatives. It states those Electors (voters) are required to have the qualifications to vote for the most numerous branch of the State legislature, meaning the State House.
Care to try again?
The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his Office during the Term of four Years, and, together with the Vice President, chosen for the same Term, be elected, as follows

So the term Electoral College came after it was described in Article 2 of the Constitution. Are you so damned stupid you can't even read what is being said? They are talking about the method of electing the President and Vice President.
Let's cut the crap and get back to your original statements.
The first was: "I don't recall ever seeing the right to liberty in the Bill of Rights." I told you to see the 5th Amendment.
The second was: "The right to vote isn't explicitly mentioned in the Constitution." I mistakenly said to see Article I, Clause 2, when I should have said Article 1, Section 2. Which is the FIRST place the Constitution mentions voter qualifications, which provides a right to vote if you meet the qualifications.
So drop the crap about Article 2, that comes from you imagination not my arguments. You also did not address my comments on your delusional statement about militias.
You claim it's a right to liberty, because it mentions it can be deprived by due process of law.
The right of suffrage was left up to the states to determine. Try reading towards the bottom when it was brought up from the Records of the Federal Convention!
