What about the right to drive a car or to fly a plain? Actually requiring people to be able before they are allowed to do certain things is not an attack on their right but the standard procedure in most others areas.
Anyone has the right to drive a car as long as he can proof to he is able to do it in a responsible manner, why should it be different with voting? Does everyone has the right to a PhD or only those who can actually proof at least the basic requirements? And is that taking rights away from those who do not get a PhD or simply the logical way things work?
