Who has the right to vote in American Federal elections? I think the text of 19th amendment to the U.S. CONSTITUTION, implies if not downright suggests that’s it’s the right of the “citizens”.

“The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.” 19th Amendment.

It defines not only who has the right to vote but the quality of human condition that does not disqualify from it.

So then why cant PR and our possessions who are all US citizens vote in federal elections

They can only vote in primaries

Makes no sense to me at all

Because they aren’t US citizens.

Edit. I guess they are citizens but they have to reside in a state to vote in United States federal elections.

They are 100% US citizens along with all our territories and possessions.

Yes the state thing has something to do with it.

If they come here and establish a residence they can vote in that state.

Makes no sense to me. A citizen is a citizen

I mean like the illegals have no problem voting why not a bonifide citizen
 
Theyre not states. Theyre territories and possessions

Article 2, sec1 clause 2.
“Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.”

STATE
 
I'll give you $100 if you can translate that into English
Context: each state and only each state shall appoint electors to the electoral college… no state (PR) = no elector, senator, or house rep.

I take Venmo.

Yeah essentially even though they are citizens since it's not a State and it is a Territory and a Possession they aren't allowed to vote because they have no electorate and they receive no votes under the Electoral College as a result.


Lets not forget US President is not decided by popular vote.
 
All americans and people that want to be american should have the right to vote
except MAGAturds
