St. Rev on twitter believes that the test is likely a hoax due to the way to was formatted vs. other tests at the time. There was still likely some test that was aimed at disenfranchisement but given the lack of evidence that it was real I’d say he might be right about this particularly unbelievable one one being a fake.
Maybe it’s a hoax, but I’m not sure the formatting proves that. The website itself mentions that the version of the test posted there is a “word-processed transcript of an original”. The original is here. Was this guy referring to the original or the transcript when he made his point about formatting?
