Let me clarify.... there is NO mention of a right to vote in the US constitution.
However, the states include guidelines it in their constitutions. It’s better off that way anyway.

I believe you are correct. The federal constitution tells us that we will have two senators and a certain amount of congressman as determined by the census etc. It also tells us that the Pres and VP are elected by the electors chosen from each state. It is up to the states as to how the senators and electors are chosen. Obviously, all states currently do it by popular vote.
At one time, the senators were chosen by each states legislature and there was no popular election for them.
Another thing I learned from David McCollough’s pulitzer prize winning novel concerning Samuel Adams is that back during their time people did not openly campaign for President. It was considered unseemly. My how things have changed...
