Right to vote being stripped away

What is the right to vote? Does it simply mean you can vote? or does your vote need to be counted? in other words, if we say African Americans have the right to vote but if some white folks don't like the way they voted then African Americans' votes can be discarded. Is that right to vote? Obviously NOT! The right to vote is for someone to be able to vote and his/her vote is counted.

Proposition 22 in California shows that about 60% of Californians favor the definition of marriage to be between opposite sexes. And the 4 judges under influence and pressure from gay activists said pretty much "oh, wait, thanks for voting but since we don't like the way you voted so your votes don't count and prop 22 is unconstitutional. Ha Ha." That equates to taking the right to vote from 60% of the people because whatever they've just voted didn't matter. WTF? Imaging you voted for Obama and the supreme court says "whatever, we don't like the way you voted and this election doesn't count" man, there will riots! Because people's votes need to be respected and counted. In essence, gay activists are trying to get marital rights for 10% of the population by stripping away the right to vote of 60% of the population! That is un-democratic and plainly evil! No one should be able to sit and watch our democracy is being undermined in such a fundermental way!
