worth scrutinizing Barrett’s views on the right to vote discussed on pages 50-54 of this second amendment case (in her dissent) http://cdn.cnn.com/cnn/2020/images/09/21/rssexec.pdf
In sum, Barrett writes the right to vote is not an “individual right” of the same kind that Scalia declared the right to weapons to be in Heller; it’s a “civic right.” Therefore, she concludes the right to vote is susceptible to have whole classes of people excluded from it...
In particular, ACB believes that felons, including nonviolent felons, can be excluded as a class from the right to vote forever, whereas the government must make an individualized showing of dangerousness to justify restricting a felon’s access to weapons.
