The 15th, 19th, and 26th Amendments to our Constitution refer to a right to vote in the course of prohibiting voting discrimination based on one's race, sex, or (adult) age, but those protections are hollow because governments may disenfranchise (strip of voting privileges) all citizens, so long as it is done without bias which is the key - all these laws seem to have a bias.
Again - I am for requiring valid picture ID.
Incidentally I believe there is another measure on CO's ballot that would if passed give proportional electoral votes to whomever was voted for based on the popular vote in that state. It as little chance of passing and it certainly would be challenged if it did pass but it is still there.
