The constitution, literally says United States citizens…
Correct.
But you are snipping off the rest of the 4 Amendments. (Age, Race, Sex and Poll Tax)
So for example the 26th says: "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."
That means the states can't discriminate against citizens based on age, it does not mean states don't have the power to allow non-citizens to vote in State/Local elections.
You are putting meaning in the words that just isn't there.
