Re: Canadian man living in Broward pleads guilty to voting illegally in ‘08 president
The 26th amendment states "The right of citizens of the United States, who are eighteen years of age or older, to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of age. The Congress shall have the power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."
It clearly states voting is a right protected under the Constitution. The amendment obviously deals with voting age, however its wording "The right of the Citizens of the United States... to vote" is clear as day.
I'm sorry to have to be the one to break this to you, but voting is not a constitutional right.
