Okay but like, if you have enough felons to sway a vote, you have a bigger problem on your hands
voting isnt an inherent human right
that is what happened in virginia
It is if your under a state
There are no inherent human rights
A democratic one*
Not even death
during the 2016 election
This whole chat is fucked with newbies flooding in

felons may have swayed the state blue
Not really

people have moved the goalpost of democracy
```merican form of government has been called a “democracy” by leading American statesmen and legal commentators from the Framing on. It’s true that some Framing-era commentators made arguments that distinguished “democracy” and “republic”; see, for instance, The Federalist (No. 10), though even that first draws the distinction between “pure democracy” and a “republic,” only later just saying “democracy.” But even in that era, “representative democracy” was understood as a form of democracy, alongside “pure democracy”: John Adams used the term “representative democracy” in 1794; so did Noah Webster in 1785; so did St. George Tucker in his 1803 edition of Blackstone; so did Thomas Jefferson in 1815. ```
go by the meaning at the time of the founding
Honest question: Are the states under any obligation to let the residents make a popular vote for pres?
Only under case law
weird
it would become a constitutional crisis if it happened
