Anyone For Making Voting a Federal Right?

That would mean you don't want most Republicans to vote.
Hah hah. I knew one of you lefties would claim that. Why don't you put your money where your mouth is? Would you be in favor of not letting all stupid people vote? I would. I didn't think so because you know darn well Democrats pander to the stupid. But, all you have to do is say, "Yes, I agree. Stupid people shouldn't be allowed to vote".
 
You may think you already have such a right, but alas, no.. you don't. Why not? Because, believe it or not, some people here don't want other people being able to vote. Making it the law has actually been tried before and killed by those people. Good a time as any to try again, no?
I don't want filthy ILLEGALS to vote.
 
If we don't already have the right to vote then I see some of our Constitutional amendments as rather useless. Take the 26th for example.

Section 1​

The right of citizens of the United States, who are eighteen years of age or older, to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of age.

Correct. What you bolded:
The right of citizens of the United States {...} to vote
clearly refers to a right that exists nowhere within the Constitution nor within federal law otherwise.
Then just consider the disclaimer in this case:
shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of age.
The fact that the Constitution allows the States to deny or abridge this alleged sacred right by default, let alone at all, is exactly what's wrong. Applying lipstick to a pig still leaves you stuck with a pig. There's an unfunded mandate parallel. If the federal government expects the States to enforce its supposed laws, then it must bribe the States in effect with incentives somehow. Just codify it into an explicit federal right already.

What responsibilities and how would you go about enforcing such requirements?
Voting is a right as it is you cannot define the responsibilities so best not to let the feds designate it a right because they'd spend a trillion dollars on some unvettable plan to allow you to vote from home in your PJ's
Be specific....what do you mean by "a fraudulent voter"? Provide data verifying that this type of "fraud" amounts to a significant election issue.

No, it's clearly not an explicit right, but "unvettable" sure is an interesting (wrong) word choice while changing the subject instead of straightforwardly responding to the question. Many have been voting in their PJs for at least a decade now without incident. Places where people can't do so seem the smart ones to worry about. People from those places are commonly seen fighting like hell just to cast their ballot and getting the runaround.

Voting by mail has saved states and local districts lots of money, especially while the coronavirus made doing everything in public more difficult. Federalizing the process would logically save lots more by standardizing the rules, but that hasn't even been proposed. The 1st Amendment grants us explicit federal rights to speech and assembly. Do we pay too high a cost for those?

I don't think that asking for I.D. is suppressing the vote. I think that anything the ACLU endorses is bad for the country. Jon Ossoff is a Democrat so, you can't trust what he says in the first place. EVERY citizen in the U.S. already has access to ballots. Shit, in the last election they MAILED ballots to everyone and you didn't even have ASK for an absentee ballot or show up to the polls!!!

No, this legislation is bullshit from stem to stern.

The supposed coronavirus pandemic was a farce in the first place and the Democrat party USED it to commit election fraud.
 
Indeed, however one must differentiate between "voter fraud", which has proven insignificant time and again, and vote tampering carried out by election workers and associated officials. Internet connections make such tampering easy, though perhaps not so easy to cover up. Tampering can include allowing partisan hacks to stand around entrances to polling places intimidating voters, gerrymandering, deliberately restricting the number of voting machines available in certain areas, and demanding ID where voter names, addresses, and phone numbers are already well established and affirmed with a compared signature. Mail in ballots have largely begun to eliminate such nonsense, thank goodness.

not only proven insignificant, but Republicans are the only ones guilty of it.

Wow this seems to be veiled racism. Good thing the country is getting more and more diverse every day.

Idiotic comments like this will one day be history held by a minority. Thank goodness!

One only need glance at our long history of slow progress and just imagine the trouble that could have been saved by simply granting a federal right to vote to all U.S. adult citizens to begin with. There are still many U.S. adult citizens who are not permitted to vote for Presidential candidates.

Again, quote where they say we have a federal right to vote (in general), snookums.

Anyone For Making Voting a Federal Right? Still Waiting..​

You are a LIAR. Name any Citizen who is not allowed to vote. And this does NOT include Felons in Prison or on Parole.

A person who transposes a zip code number on a mail in vote.

A person who does do an exact match when signing a ballot.

A person who fails to vote in one election and is dropped from a voter roll.

There should not BE any mail out votes. That was for COVID. Signatures should be NOTARIZED. And going to the Polls should be easy. Register a month early then get your lazy punk ass to the POLLS.

So, you want to deny millions of people the right to vote.
 
You say that like it's gone or something..
U.S. new cases reported yesterday: 280,403
Deaths: 1,725
and rising..
Clue--There is a Vaccine. And treatments,. Besides ,only those with pre-existing sickness DIE from this. The FLU kills far more young and healthy.

All U.S. citizens are allowed to vote, with the exception of incarcerated convicts. As the Democrats are now pro-criminal, they are advocating for incarcerated convicts to be able to vote. Non-citizens should not be allowed to vote, otherwise you might as well just send out voter ballots to every adult on the planet.

Are you stupid?
