I guess you are referring to a Federal Right to Vote. You would be correct as to the original 1787 US Constitution if you are talking about presidential elections.
The people are to choose their representative.
Quote:
US CONSTITUTION Article. I. Section. 2.
The House of Representatives shall be composed of Members chosen every second Year by the People of the several States, and the Electors in each State shall have the Qualifications requisite for Electors of the most numerous Branch of the State Legislature.

The right to vote for your Representative.
In 1912 through the Amendment process the Constitution changed through the 17th Amendment to Direct election of Senators from election by state assemblies.
Quote:
AMENDMENT XVII
Passed by Congress May 13, 1912. Ratified April 8, 1913.
Note: Article I, section 3, of the Constitution was modified by the 17th amendment.
The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, elected by the people thereof, for six years; and each Senator shall have one vote. The electors in each State shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the State legislatures.

Giving the right to vote for your Senators.
Nothing has changed for the the presidential elections and there have been several cases where Presidents were elected without the popular vote (i.e. direct democratic election). They are given electoral votes by each state. the states were given freedom to dole out the electors as they deemed and most states deemed that the people vote for the passage of the state's electoral votes a mix of direct votes and state votes as Madison viewed it here:
Quote:
In the Federalist No. 39, James Madison argued that the Constitution was designed to be a mixture of state-based and population-based government. The Congress would have two houses: the state-based Senate and the population-based House of Representatives. Meanwhile, the President would be elected by a mixture of the two modes.
Additionally, in the Federalist No. 10, James Madison argued against "an interested and overbearing majority" and the "mischiefs of faction" in an electoral system. He defined a faction as "a number of citizens whether amounting to a majority or minority of the whole, who are united and actuated by some common impulse of passion, or of interest, adverse to the rights of other citizens, or to the permanent and aggregate interests of the community." Republican government (i.e., federalism, as opposed to direct democracy), with its varied distribution of voter rights and powers, would countervail against factions. Madison further postulated in the Federalist No. 10 that the greater the population and expanse of the Republic, the more difficulty factions would face in organizing due to such issues as sectionalism.

Simply put whoever wins the Florida popular vote, gets Forida's electoral votes.
There is a right to vote for your Representative and for your Senator... and a quasi-right to vote for president based on your state's election rules.
The argument of the 15th, 19th, 23rd, 24th and 26th amendments only concern race, sex, age and DC not your actual right to vote.
You can be restricted from voting, have your rights to vote nullified by the state.
In Florida you must be a US Citizen, a Florida Resident, 18 or older, not now be adjudicated mentally incapacitated with respect to voting in Florida or any other state without having the right to vote restored, not have been convicted of a felony without your civil rights having been restored, and provide your current and valid Florida driver’s license number or Florida identification card number.
