Thats not at all what you wrote, and you are still wrong. The Supreme Court ruled in 2000, (Bush vs Gore), that there is no right to vote in america

The individual citizen has no federal constitutional right to vote for electors for the President of the United States unless and until the state legislature chooses a statewide election as the means to implement its power to appoint members of the Electoral College. U.S. Const., Art. II, §1.
