Such a move would be found unconstitutional. You can bet on it. If for no other grounds than the privileges and immunities clause of the 14th Amendment.

law is explicit, not perceived, or there is no law.
So what is the point of this thread? The wording of it is already really disingenuous.
I have no idea since the the Constitution itself identifies that the right of citizens of the United States to vote exists.
(I donât think it âgrantsâ this rights, but recognizes a right as the Constitution itself says - not all rights have to be enumerated in the Constitution for them to be held by the people. But the Constitution does recognize voting as a right.)

The point is the mistaken interpretation that voting is a right In America, it is not, it is a cultural norm and states can regulate as they see fit.

the court is non partisan, the constitutions says so.
Missed what?
That the plan text of the Constitution mentions voting as a right?
No I didnât miss that.

Let me expand a little: it should be a non-partisan court. However, since about the 80âs there has been a concerted and very strong effort to change the court to favor republicans.
No the states cannot deny the franchise based on the criteria set in the amendments that deal with it which is why the voting rights act had provisions enforcing checks on the states. Its like you are doing this in order to get your bias confirmed as is the case in every single thread you create.
It does not say that.
Article III deals with the Courts.
Here is Article III. Show me where it says the Court is nonpartisan.
What do you mean? Explain.

all the links above that say it is not a specific right. even the bill to make it a right in 2013

it says it, it always has, even when it doesnât.
it has to do with intent, non elected means non partisan, isolated from politics with lifetime tenure.
it is great we can come up with meanings that are not there.

it means id law is open to interpretation then it will be applied selectively as there was no law at all but only arbitrary standards.
Non elected does not mean non partisan. Cabinet members are non elected. Presidential aides are non elected. All of them are partisan- the most partisan people in government.
