Every single county in which blacks make up more than 75 percent of registered voters will see their driver license office closed. Every one.
Holy shit, guys. I know I shouldn't be surprised, but I'm surprised. Alabama announced that due to budget cuts, they were going to be closing driver license offices in several counties. Okay, nothing too shady there. Until you realize that the ones that are being closed are the ones with the highest percentages of African Americans. And that Alabama now has voter ID laws requiring a license to vote. And that they raised the cost of even getting a license.
I don't know how it could possibly be viewed in any remotely positive light. It very much sounds like this is a very intentional act of voter suppression, which sickens me. As the author of the article says, even if it wasn't intended as such, the results are going to be the same.
