I think this test was unfair but it's only my opinion.

It is sad you are giving credibility to an article that implies this is a part of voter I’d laws today.

Yes, this test is bullshit.

No. It is extremely easy to obtain the required identification to vote in the United States. You literally fill out the voter registration at the dmv when you get your id. You have four years between presidential elections to make one trip to the dmv.

You could wake up in miami Florida, walk to the dmv in Seattle Washington, claim homelessness and obtain some sort of government issued picture ID annd food stamps, and be back in Miami within a year.

In 2020 Black Louisianians of African heritage were 32.8% of the state's population.

The person who wrote the article linked in OP either has their head in the sand or are being willfully ignorant.

They're using political racism to dredge up the wrongs of the past.

Now, yeah the majority of Americans and Americans of African decent can absolutely just read the words on the paper.

But that's not the point of this thread or that article.
They want to enflame reactions of hate based on past wrong doings.

Educating people on the present is not their intended goal.

the test is trivial, anyone who cannot complete it is an idiot who really isn't qualified to be doing anything of importance
