Because Danni is such an idiot, ill provide some information. for the uneducated idiots.
the 2000 Bush v. Gore case stated citizens have no federal right to vote.
You might find it interesting to know what our founding fathers thought of the idea of a democracy. There's an incredible book out there titled "Founding Brothers:
The Revolutionary Generation. Here's your link (www.amazon.com)
if you might like to get a copy. The author, historian Joseph Ellis, tells us at the very beginning of this book just what our founding fathers thought of the idea
of democracy. Here's what they thought of democrats:
"... the term "democrat" originated as an epithet and referred to 'one who
panders to the crude and mindless whims of the masses.'"
I know ... it truly is amazing how that phrase pretty much describes the Democrats of the day. For the most part the oratory of both
Obama and Hillary have been little more than examples of pandering "to the crude and mindless whims of the masses."
So .. why have our government schools been so anxious to spread the "democracy" lie? Because the more people believe that crap the stronger government becomes.
If the dumb masses can be convinced that, since we are a democracy, the government should be able to do whatever the political class convinces the majority of
Americans it should do ... then we have stronger politicians and weaker protections for our rights.
Let's make our first stop at Wikipedia. We'll make two stops. First, the entry for "Voting rights in the United States
(en.wikipedia.org)." There you will find the following sentence:
There is no "right to vote" explicitly stated in the U.S. Constitution, but only that they cannot be denied based solely on the aforementioned qualifications,
however, the "right to vote" may be denied for any other reason (i.e. being convicted of a felony).
Next stop .. .the Wikipedia entry for "Sufferage." A subsection of this entry covers the history of suffrage (the vote) in the United States. Here you go:
In the United States, suffrage is determined by the separate states, not federally. There is no national "right to vote". The states and the people have
changed the U.S. Constitution five times to disallow states from limiting suffrage, thereby expanding it.

* 15th Amendment (1870): no law may restrict any race from voting
* 19th Amendment (1920): no law may restrict any sex from voting
* 23rd Amendment (1961): residents of the District of Columbia can vote for the President and Vice-President
* 24th Amendment (1964): neither Congress nor the states may condition the right to vote in federal elections on payment of a poll tax or other type of tax
* 26th Amendment (1971): no law may restrict those 18 years of age or older from voting because of their age
Moving right along now, here's an article written by Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. entitled "The Right to Vote." Jackson writes: "And yet the right to vote is not
a fundamental right in our Constitution." I guess that you folks who have been sending in those emails are right, and the Congressman is wrong ... right? Jackson
has introduced a voting rights amendment in the congress. Now just why would he need to do that if the right already existed?
