The glorious state of Alabama, a state I truly do love, whenever I pass through I admire their wonderful beauty, and the fabulous Barbecue joints, have re-embraced Jim Crow. Just when I thought they were becoming more cosmopolitan.
The have recently decided to close 31 DMV offices. Budget constraints. And ironically the 31 they chose to close all have a black base of 75% or more of black voters. And since Alabama requires a picture ID to be able to vote.....you get the idea.
Voter suppression once again.
The fact that they chose these offices to close is no accident. This is a carefully orchestrated move to eliminate black voters from the process. Yes the powers that be just don't want to allow Democrats the right to vote.
It's understood. There are more Democrats in America than Republicans. Everybody knows that. So the only way Republicans can win is if they deny millions of people the right to vote. Everybody knows that. But this is just way too obvious.
Hey Repubs, try and get more subtle.
I really don't understand why Alabama feels this need. Since Lydon Johnson signed the Civil Rights Legislation of 1964, the entire racist south started voting solidly Republican. And it has never changed. So why make a point of exposing yourself as racist demigods Alabama? You were gonna go Republican anyway.
I hope that in my lifetime with enough northerners relocating to Florida, that state flips and becomes a Democratic stronghold. It is already called a "Purple State" much of the time. And maybe someday all voters will be able to vote in Alabama. And that means they become sane and go Democratic.
And then things will start to get better.
