Yes.

Women did have the right to vote in some states prior to the 19th Amendment.  Wyoming gave women full voting rights.  Kentucky and Kansas gave widows with school-age children the right to vote in school elections. 

There is no reason the Electoral College could not choose a person convicted of a felony as President today.  Eugene Debs would have served as President if the EC had picked him. 

The Kentucky Legislature elected Henry Clay to the Senate even though he was 29 years old, under the age of 30.  It would be interesting if AOC were elected VP at 32.
