Register to vote and voting. Ways a person becomes a United States citizen (USC)

Four ways to be a USC: Birth in the US, Birth abroad, Derivative citizenship, and Naturalization.

Naturalization may draw the most complication/litigation. Generally, be a lawful permanent resident for five years; tree year and other exceptions. Be a person good moral character.  Potential waivers: fee waiver, medical waiver, 20/50 rule, and 15/55 rule.   

To vote in the federal elections, a person has to be a USC and has to be age 18.

Some states require you to register before Election Day, so that you can vote on Election Day.

Other states, like Minnesota, allow you to register on Election Day and also vote on Election Day.

I believe that some litigants are trying to eliminate this same day registration and voting on Election Day in Minnesota. 

Registering to vote and voting is a free process. Registering to vote and voting is a constitutional right that each United States citizen has.

The #15Amendment gave African American men the right to vote.

The #19Amendment gave women the right to vote.

A violation of either amendment could also trigger violation of the #FifthAmendment and #FourteenthAmendment .
