-- The author never offered the premise that voting is a constitutional right. --

They basically congratulated President Obama for his victory and then wrote that they were proud of the fact that they did not vote. I could not believe what I was reading. How can any American citizen not have the desire to exercise the voice granted us by the United States Constitution? How can any American citizen not have the desire to vote in our electoral system?

By 'voice', I take it to mean speech which is covered by Amendment I. Again, it explicitly does not say that the right to vote comes from the Constitution. It simply is not there. Nice distraction for you, though.
