If their constitution is anything like the United States Constitution and government, then one of the fundamental principals is that not every right is specifically enumerated in the law, meaning just because a thing isn’t specifically listed as being a right doesn’t mean it’s necessarily not a right. Voting is obviously one of those things.
And, correct me if I’m wrong, but don’t some of those unenumerated rights include those granted by the federal government— such as the right to vote?
I guess you don’t have to pay taxes in Kansas.
No taxation without representation and all.
Originalists my white hairy ass.
They decided the constitution does not include a right to vote with a vote?
Kansas has decided that it is a sovereign citizen
Well, the flag in the room had gold fringe, which, according to Maritime Law, suspends the constitution.
^^^if ^^^you ^^^believe ^^^this ^^^you ^^^are ^^^blindingly ^^^stupid.
That only applies in the legal fiction of KANSAS, not in the actual state of Kansas.
LOL, ISWYDT! 🤣
Next thing you know, Kansas is sending all-caps letters Remittance and Demand to the NHTSA demanding their share of the Interstate Highway System, as it was allocated to their secret treasury account under the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted by the Continental Congress in 1779.
(I really need to stop reading that stuff)
Not many people know this, but Kansas is actually oriented at 45 degree angle to the rest of the United States.
And it’s very, very red.
And vibrantly rainbow colored in various areas.
You forgot the “WITHOUT PREJUDICE” they add to everything.
Which is kinda ironic since they tend to be far right bigots and thus positively BRIMMING with the other kind of prejudice 😁
I mean, the constitution specifically outlines who is disqualified from voting, so the inherent assumption would be, if you aren’t disqualified, then you have the right to vote:

§ 4: Proof of right to vote. . The legislature shall provide by law for proper proofs of the right of suffrage.
Coming soon to a state beginning with the letter ‘K’, direct laws disenfranchising large swaths of the population.
Apportionment really should be a based on the census and some weighting derived from the number of voters.
