"I believe that is supposed to be the voters job."

Really? Does the Contitution even grant us the right to vote?

By inference at least.

Art. 1 section 2 declares that the Representatives shall be elected by "The People of the Several States",

The 17th amendment provides the same with respect to Senators.

The 15th, 19th, 24th and 26th amendments each prohibit denial of the "right to vote" (thus indicating that such a right exists) on various grounds. (race or previous condition of servitude, sex, inability to pay a poll tax, and finally age if 18 or over)
