Voting is Not a Constitutional Right
Hadn't heard much of Jesse's son before but he has the same gift for gab as his dad (or at least the same speechwriters and elocution). I knew that voting was a state right but hadnt thought of the implications of that:
This is why I could never figure out how no-voting-felons laws could apply to a federal election and not just at the state level. I did sort of understand how this affected the 2000 elections but hadn't really thought of the summation as there is no constitutionally protected right to vote.
I even stumbled on Jackson's draft legislation:
HJR 28.
