Just putting together this thread makes me puke, Alabama is a disgusting state of racism and bigotry.
Interesting statistics. But you haven't presented a case for Alabama being racist.
I think what you have found is gerrymandering.
African Americans vote about 90% Democratic- and Republicans have likely gerry mandered the shit out of districts in Alabama to ensure that Democrats can't get elected.
and what does the fact that it's gerrymandered in that fashion indicate?
I'll point out that as soon as Alabama passed a voter ID law, they closed the motor vehicle offices in black neighborhoods.
does that help?
That's a blatant lie. 31 motor vehicle offices were closed because of budget cuts in 2015, while Obama was still in office. They were offices in rural areas only, not large cities where the preponderance of black folks live.
They were also re-opened the same year.

you mean they just happened to be closed before the senate election?
delusional trumptard
The voters of Alabama were warned with plenty of advance notice that they would be required to produce a picture ID to vote. Are you trying to reinforce the stereotype that black people are too dumb or too poor to have some form of identification?
How utterly racist of you. I won't even bother to list the things you can't do without some form of identification.
