If you were a Black person in Louisiana in the 1960s, it might not be so easy. The Democrats did an amazing job of keeping Blacks suppressed.

Granted, but that has nothing to do with the test, per se. SCOTUS will probably disagree with me, but I'd have no problem with the use of a test of this difficulty, so long as the answers were written down and make it like one of those tests in school where you black in the circle and grade it by machine. The leftards will still say that's discriminatory. I don't know or care whether it is or not, but the fact remains that someone not sufficiently literate and intelligent to complete that test (graded without bias) has NO business voting on anything that affects me or anyone else able to complete the test.

A lot of these folks were not sufficiently literate to pass such a test because Democrats/the government kept them down and kept them illiterate. That was the whole purpose of the test, to prevent those folks of a certain skin color from voting, not to protect us from somebody making poor choices at the voting booth.

Plus, plenty of folks who couldn't pass such a test went off and fought for this country. I would rather they be allowed to vote.

I know it is mighty tempting to think that only certain folks should be allowed to vote (beyond leveling an age limit), but that puts us up there with the very countries that many folks left the US for. Putting bureaucrats in charge of who should be able to vote is yet another path to socialism and/or totalitarianism.
