I concur.

It is a fundamental right outlined in the Declaration of Independence. Governments only have their “just powers” through the consent of the governed. The mechanism we utilize to exercise our consent is through voting.

It is a right reserved for the citizens.

The Declaration of Independence does not have the force of law. Thatโ€™s the realm of the Constitution.

I disagree, fundamental rights are rights that exist prior to the government. Governments exist to secure those fundamental rights. Whereas voting is something that only exists because its established by the government.

Voting is a right instituted to protect the fundamental rights of the people, but it is not in of itself a fundamental right.
Governments has always placed restriction on the right to vote, it used to be you had to be a man, had to own property, now you have to be 18, and in some states you cannot be a felon, must be a citizen. Whereas a fundamental right would face far less restrictions.

With fraudulent elections it is also the means to enslave you. Check out how the people in Venezuela love eating the exotic animals from their zoos so much they overwhelmingly voted to keep their kings.

We have observed country after country vote in Marxist kings while thinking it can never happen here, well this is how it is done and it has happened here. Big cities make fraudulent elections easier and now they are big enough they can control the whole state and they do.
