Key Maker,
We're in agreement. Yes it is her right and yes it is unfortunate that it is her right.

The question is *should it be* her right? I say no.
I think we'd all be better off if access to the ballot box was made more costly than it is at present. In addition to registration for jury duty, why not up the ante? Registering to vote signs you up for emergency response duty, and military draft too. And the ballots could have all traces of party affiliation removed. That way people would have to really want to vote and would be forced to do their homework before hand.

This could be changed with a Constitutional amendment, but I agree that the way things are is the way things are.
