Denied because of those enumerated reasons? No. But those reasons do not preclude restrictions for other reasons.
Babble on as you might, there is no general right to vote contained in the Constitution.
That you revel in your crazed notion that the right to vote might not exist is a very telling indicator of the true nature of modern American conservatism.
So post the relevant Constitutional text.
The 14th amendment, the 15th amendment, the 19th amendment, the Voting RIGHTS act of 1965 for starters.
Guaranteeing equal protection for citizens and forbidding restrictions of race and sex does not confer a right.
Please post the precise texts wherein these documents confer a general right to vote, and preclude restrictions based upon factors that do not fall within their parameters.
The Constitution does not specifically confer literally thousands upon thousands of rights. It doesn't say that I have the right to drink black coffee, either. So, we have laws. Perhaps, Constitutionally, the voting laws can be changed to only those who don't depend in any way upon the government (excluding the military, of course, you brainless hypocrite), but good luck getting that done.
And good luck getting a Supreme Court, even a conservative one, to uphold an asinine law such as that.
So you say. I have learned that anything is possible when people are motivated.
Take the November election, for example. Against all odds, yes?
