I pray you actually read what people point you too:
No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law
That explicitly states that the States cannot punish people without due process, it does not change that the constitution has always applied to individuals
You're looking at an amendment that's targeting the end of slavery and incorrectly applying it to all people
Due process includes the process of your ballot eligibility being reviewed, and then denied, based on things that are prima facie.
