The statement that best describes the status of voting rights in the United States is:
There is nearly universal suffrage for citizens over the age of 18 with few exceptions.
This reflects the general principle that most citizens over 18 have the right to vote, although there are some exceptions, such as for certain convicted felons in some states and individuals who may be disenfranchised due to specific circumstances. The other statements present inaccuracies or over-generalizations about voting rights.
