As a sufficient but not necessary condition, if the United States Constitution literally calls it a right, it's a right.

How did the people who wrote the Constitution come to the conclusion of what is and is not a right?

Absolutely irrelevant. :) The right of citizens of the United States to vote is explicitly, verbatim protected by the Constitution.

There are a few references, but it is not specifically enumerated directly in the Constitution.

I saw this bit of news come across CTV, and decided to do a little research. Not research into the substance of the ruling, but rather research into the celebratory victory Tweet Governor DeSantis did in response to the ruling.

The DeSantis Tweet segment in question, is the last quote in my O.P. Here it is again below, with my adding emphasis to the part I'm focusing upon:

Voting is a "privilege"? This is the attitude of the FL Republican governor? Whether Fruedian slip or not, I find this statement appalling.

Idiot. The RIGHT to vote is America's foundation.

During his first candidacy commercial, DeSantis said, "I will do the best for Florida." That sentence was stuck in my head when I saw his name on the ballot. Man, I miss the voting machines Ohioans have . . .

Go back and read it calmly. The thing that does not make it ax explicit right is because the 19th describes a condition where voting cannot be “denied or abridged” and that is “on account of sex”.

“All citizens have the right to vote” would be an explicit right. The 19th and all the other references just reduce the realm of possible basis for voting to be denied or abridged.
It can be denied because of citizenship, age, and any other criteria that has not specifically been listed in the Constitution.

As for the personal attack, “Nuts”.
