I honestly don’t consider present-day US to practice universal suffrage.
Voters have to register for it in advance. Which also happens to make you eligible for military service.
Polling stations can have queues several hours long. Can’t afford to stand in line? Sorry, no vote for you this year.
And depending on where you live, there can be additional hurdles.
Suffrage is not universal in that country.
