“I wouldn’t say voting is a right. “

It is a responsibility, but it is also a right. An adult citizen can not, and should not be denied the ability to cast a ballot. Just because it’s a right doesn’t mean that it doesn’t require some effort to exercise that right.

Rights are not absolutes. Even 2nd A rights are restricted if a person is a felon. I have no problem with putting limitations on voting. Being a taxpayer should be one. No one on the gov’t teat should be able to vote themselves other people’s money.

Even convicted felons?

Even people currently incarcerated?
