As a matter of fact neither the Senate nor the President are elected today as was prescribed by the Constitution, so how about we do things Constitutionally?
Both a majority of women and minorities have proven they can't vote worth squat and yes, socialism can be laid at their doorstep, directly at their doorstep. You may rail against that fact but there it is. Go fuss at them for being Constitutionally lazy, not at me for knowing they are Constitutionally lazy.
Of course no one will deny anyone their right to vote as long as everyone is voting, but, the fact is, no one has the "right" to vote the way we do it today, which is un-Constitutional. For one thing, the election of the Senate is not set up in the lawful manner prescribed in the Constitution. Being a Constitutionalist, I don't like that fact either but I don't intend to stop voting to offset the damage done by socialists.
Go to your Constitution and take a peek at how the Senate and the President are suppose to be elected. I like things tidy, lawful, I like the Constitution that my fore fathers put together, I would like for it to be followed to the letter. It is what was orignally agreed to by everyone and no one has ever lawfully changed a thing about it. Certainly it has been illegally ignored, twisted, but never lawfully changed.

I know the original constitution allowed for only white males voting, but that was back in an era where women were regarded as the lower sex, and blacks and native americans were considered subhuman. times change, and in this case for the better...we can't go back to that... the sexes are equal in intelligence- males and females both have their different strengths and weaknesses, but you can't regard women as inferior and not being able to vote as well as men.
how would you feel if liberals pushed disallowing white males to vote simply because they generally vote in favor of the gop, and if they were out of the way then more liberals would be elected?

As a matter of fact neither the Senate nor the President are elected today as was prescribed by the Constitution, so how about we do things Constitutionally? Forget to read Article V? There is a process for ammending the Constitution, and we have, 27 times. All elections of US Presidents and Senators have been done as mandated by the Constitution as it was at the time of the election.
