Quote:I can copy it if you like but the 15th amendment clearly states that the right to vote can not be abridged by anyone based on race color or previous servitude. It doesn't say everyone had a right to vote.

The qualifications for voting has changed numerous times from landowners to white males to males to all genders and so on each one adding more and more people to the fold. But none of them specifically establish a universal right to vote. Voting is an act of participation a civic duty hell a responsibility but not a right.

The law as it is today says we can't prevent participation based upon race color servitude gender religion or ability to pay.
