Doesn't it mean the same thing

I have all the rights to vote

I have all the right to vote

Are both correct?

I think the only difference is that "all the right" means all right that exists

while "all the rights" means all rights you are thinking about.

Let's use a different "right."

I have the right to be here.

I have every right to be here! (emphatic)

I have as much [of a] right to be here as you do!
