If non-citizens are allowed to vote, then we no longer have a legally constituted government, and the people who took that government away from We The People should be hunted down like dogs.

I find your references to the Constitution amusing. It tells me that you didn't even bother to read the article which states:
Historically, 40 states allowed noncitizens to vote going back to 1776, but an anti-immigrant backlash in the late 1800s and early 1900s resulted in laws that eliminated their voting rights by 1926, Hayduk said
Allowing non-citizens to vote state and local elections dates back to the country's founding, and the creation of the Constitution a decade or two later didn't impact the practice. Opposing the enfranchisement of non-citizens is a perfectly defensible position. But using Constitutional principles to support that position corrupts the Constitution.
