There's no federal "right" to vote in the Constitution.

There is now, but none existed until the reconstruction era.

Good point. Actually, I realized that, but I had just finished a discussion with someone who claimed that he had a constitutional right to vote for the President, and my mind was still on the "no you don't" side of the discussion.

Thanks for keeping me straight on this.

Mark
