The United States has no Federal Constitutional Right to Vote

The United States is a republican form of government. It's not a democracy, it's a representative democracy.

If someone asked you to establish priorities in our democracy, what would be the most important?

The right to free speech
The right to vote
The right to free enterprise
The right to freedom of religion
The right to freedom of assembly and protest

I believe the vast majority of Americans would select "the right to vote."

But do we have a fundamental affirmative individual right to vote in our Constitution? The answer may surprise you - "No."

The United States has "Corporate Personhood" that has led to Corporations being allowed to spend money electing politicians because of a misreading and sloppily written 14th Amendment.

The United States has no Federal Constitutional Right to Vote in the US Constitution.
