Voter ID and driver's license office closures black-out Alabama's Black Belt

[M14 Shooter]

The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency's website says their office at the Clarke County Courthouse is still open, but soon a lot of others nearby won't be. On Wednesday, the agency announced that it would close 31 offices throughout the state, leaving 29 counties without a place where 16-year-olds can take a driver's test, whether they pass on the first try or not.
That's an inconvenience.
But there's something bigger happening here.
In 2011, Alabama lawmakers approved the state's voter ID law, making it illegal to vote in Alabama without a government-issued photo ID.
For most folks, that's a driver's license.

You are mindless, bigoted, partisan hack, to an exceptional and extraordinary degree.
Here's the list of BMV offices in AL. Note that while some are closed for DL services, none of them are closed for state ID services.

I have to drive over twenty miles to get to my nearest DL office and I live in the 4th largest city in the country.

 

[ClosedCaption]

I have always had to drive 20 miles to the dmv. And I don't live in a rural area.

Thats kinda hard to drive when you dont have a license...ijs

Like everything else in life? No ID and you're fugged.....but I see you're slowly catching on

Yes, thanks for saying that for the 4th time

Me too. There aren't many dmv's in my county.

Several things going on:

1. Voter ID requirement.
2. Making ID harder to get.
3. Limiting the number of polling stations and shortening the time to vote.

These are deliberate attempts to disenfranchise democracy.

Ohio as well.
Anyone that has the means necessary to register to vote has the means necessary to get a state ID.

Dont interrupt them they are concentrating now on their drive time to and from DMV's to compare with people who dont drive at all.

Disconnect in action

Well no it hasn't.

The GOP has been putting up laws specifically to make voting harder.

Voting is a right.

The GOP gotta keep the darkies down somehow...

Half the counties affected are predominantly white counties.

And there is very little correlation between Democratic and Republican counties and which counties had their DMV offices closed.

You can't function w/o an ID, this is so stupid

Actually you can function without an ID for a very long time. Seniors do it. Poor people do it.

And if you were a small government believer as you claim to be, you would want people to be able to function without government papers or monitoring as much as possible.

Some here would never make it where I lived in Alaska. 80miles from Fairbanks. in winter had to go once a month at 50 below zero for groceries. 160 MILES ROUND TRIP

and they're whining over a DMV closing and that means the end of the world

I can't take wussies

If the rest of the country lived in the same conditions, then they would adapt their lifestyle accordingly. It has nothing to do with wussiness.

It's called civilization.

It has. See my first post.

Voting is a right.

The Democrats have been putting up laws specifically to make owning a gun harder for law abiding citizens..
Owning a gun is every it as much a right as voting.
