107. There are technically no federal elections..
In the November GE, you vote for state electors, who therein vote at the Electoral College. You do not directly vote for President. I will concede that. But to say that just because it is not a direct vote means there is no right to vote is patently absurd. Take a look at your amendments, and you will quickly find you are wrong, dumbass (not mhatrw). The federal government nor the states may restrict your voting rights as long as you are 18 and are not a current felon. end of story. i know that's a big bummer to the bigots out there, but that's reality.
