Funny, tell that to people of color or those without a Y sex chromosone. At the time that the US Constitution was written and on into the 20th century, voting in the US was restricted to white males who owned property. That does not sound like a 'fundamental right' even though I benefit from the definition.Don't own your own home, sorry no 'deedy' no votee. Just a quirky, cranky Alchemist
