Georgia Has A New Literacy Test

Backup copy of a FB post.  

From the 1890s to the 1960s, many state governments in the Southern United States administered literacy tests to prospective voters, purportedly to test their literacy in order to vote. In practice, these tests were intended to disenfranchise racial minorities. Southern state legislatures employed literacy tests as part of the voter registration process starting in the late 19th century. Literacy tests, along with poll taxes, residency and property restrictions, and extra-legal activities (violence and intimidation)[3] were all used to deny suffrage to African Americans.

The local elections office furnished me with applications for my wife and me to receive mail-in ballots for the upcoming election.

• Absentee ballots cannot be picked up at that office. They must be sent by mail. 
• Received and completed ballots must be returned sealed in the appropriate envelope which will be placed inside the main envelope. 
• To save the cost of a postage stamp, the "absentee" ballot, when suitably completed, can be brought to one of the drop boxes at the election office. 
• Detailed instructions about completing the application leave nothing to the imagination. Required sections are numbered in red ink. 
• Optional sections: > temporary address > contact information, voter assistance ID > "opt-in request to receive an absentee ballot for the rest of the elections cycle without making another application" (Disabled, Elderly 65 or older, uniformed service member, spouse or dependent)

The form is impressively comprehensive. including ID number or photo of other "acceptable ID".
If the BACK PAGE of this application is not signed that form can be tagged incomplete. This is voter suppression in action.
