 But just because it doesn't say there is a right to vote doesn't mean it's not there. I mean the Constitution's rights are mostly written in the negative. It says that the government can't infringe upon your right to free speech. It says the government cannot deny the right to vote on the basis of race or sex or inability to pay a poll tax or age of 18 or older. So there aren't a lot of places in the U.S. Constitution that actually affirmatively grant rights. Right.
