pan,
Do me a favor and reread my previous post. I spelled out very clearly the provisions in the Constitution (and the amendments, for God's sake) that dictate how voting may not be limited. You won't find anything about literacy tests in there: trust me. As for race, gender, etc, no shit Sherlock: I already pointed out exactly those provisions.

The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error. ~John Stuart Mill, On Liberty
