Fifteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution
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.
Section 2. The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.[1]
.
The 15th merely guarantees that no one will be turned down base on color , or past slavery. NO ONE actually has the right to vote.

One would think if that were the intent of the fathers they would have included it in the top10.
James Madison - THE FATHER OF THE CONSTITUTION (1787) CONSIDERED VOTING a RIGHT.

Not only does that document not say that every man has a right to vote, it is NOT part of the COTUS .
