US district Judge rules ban on guns for felon is unconstitutional

Your state could take away everyones vote right now and you couldnt do anything about it.

No. The Constitution clearly and unambiguously states that members of Congress will be chosen by the people of the state (i.e. elected through the voting public). Furthermore, the constitution guarantees each state's government shall be a republic, which inherently entails a voting public choosing its representatives their government. Finally, the 10th amendment reserves to the people those rights they possessed prior to the constitution's ratification, which weren't expressly limited by the constitution. Voting was among those rights.

The constitution, therefore, firmly recognizes and guarantees a right of the public to vote on certain matters. Not all matters subject to public voting, and each state can choose many of those matters (for example, the state could prescribe a nonvoting mechanism to choose your local mayor). But states cannot universally eliminate voting rights. There will always be a certain minimum matters that have to be regularly decided by the public through voting.

Wrong. There is no explicit right to vote in the Constitution.
Not one.
