If the Equal Protection Clause, which is in the 14th Amendment, prohibits denying particular classes of people the right to vote, then why do we have the 15th & 19th Amendments?
I am sure the Court will have little problem with citing the Equal Protection Clause to protect the right to vote based and English proficiency. But it is a non issue since there will never be a law or amendment passed prohibiting citizens that do no speak English the right to vote.
