We're talking about federal voting rights. The states can decide on state voting rights.

No, we are not. The states are the sole determiners of voting rights, with the fed being solely limited to enforcing constitutional provisions. There is no such thing as a federal vote that is not cast via the metaphorical auspices of a state.

“The states are the sole determiners of voting rights,”

The fact that you had to explain that and other comments on this thread are depressing me. If we see this type of ignorance on FR, then we should be very afraid for our Republic.
