There's something you stupid fucking dimocraps REFUSE to understand......
Voting is NOT a Right. It is a privilege.
It is a privilege granted by the individual States.
Even in the Amendments to the Constitution that address voting, they do not affirmatively grant the Right to vote. They only forbid discrimination and set an age for people where the State grants them the Right to vote.
There.Is.No.Right.To.Vote.
God DAMN but you people are fucking stupid.
In a privilege, it is up to the Individual to make sure he or she is following ALL the rules and to make sure they are in compliance.
In a Right, it is up to the State to make sure they are correct.
dimocraps are just fucking stupid. Honest to God fucking stupid.
BUSH v. GORE
B
The individual citizen has no federal constitutional right to vote for electors for the President of the United States unless and until the state legislature chooses a statewide election as the means to implement its power to appoint members of the Electoral College. U.S. Const., Art. II, §1. This is the source for the statement in McPherson v. Blacker, 146 U.S. 1, 35 (1892), that the State legislatures power to select the manner for appointing electors is plenary; it may, if it so chooses, select the electors itself, which indeed was the manner used by State legislatures in several States for many years after the Framing of our Constitution. Id., at 2833. History has now favored the voter, and in each of the several States the citizens themselves vote for Presidential electors. When the state legislature vests the right to vote for President in its people, the right to vote as the legislature has prescribed is fundamental; and one source of its fundamental nature lies in the equal weight accorded to each vote and the equal dignity owed to each voter. The State, of course, after granting the franchise in the special context of Article II, can take back the power to appoint electors. See id., at 35 ([T]here is no doubt of the right of the legislature to resume the power at any time, for it can neither be taken away nor abdicated) (quoting S. Rep. No. 395, 43d Cong., 1st Sess.).
Naw..it's a right:
Amendment XV
Section 1.
The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.
Amendment XIX
The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex.
Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
We needed to put in two Amendments so you fucking conservatives would stop monkeying around with it.
It's unfortunate that the conservative judges legislated from the bench the right of the Federal government to swiftly enforce it in Conservative states.
Because you idiots are still monkeying around.
