I would agree that it is a skill. But to me, it is very much a right to which every citizen of a free state is entitled.
And to make one thing quite clear:
There is no such thing as self-explanatory.
To revert to the freedom issue:
Because I care about freedom, I strongly oppose any attempt, even a hypothetical one, to deny anyone the right to vote.
What you are doing (or so it appears to me) is that
you sort people into the cateogires 'fit to vote' and 'unfit to vote'. You cannot determint that
objectively. It's always subjective, like it or not. Stupid people do stupid things, and because they are free,
they themselves are responsible for what they do.
If you would like to know if people who vote do so because they have more than just an opinion of, or a vague idea about, what they're doing, you'd have to be able to look inside their heads. That's something nobody can or should do.
And I like your sarcasm as a like my women: Not even thinly veiled
...
Just keep it civil
