“Alabama’s discriminatory voter ID law creates unnecessary obstacles to voting. It prevents citizens, particularly African American and Latino Alabamians, from exercising their fundamental right to vote.” said @JulesTwitted, an attorney with the ACLU’s Voting Rights Project.
Randall Marshall, executive director for the ACLU of Alabama added, “This law was not necessary as the court found that in-person voter fraud is virtually non-existent; it is discriminatory and should be struck down.”
“The record evidence of the discriminatory intent behind Alabama’s photo ID law is substantial. Had the trial court followed precedent and considered that evidence fully, it would have thrown that law out,” said Ezra Rosenburg, co-director for Voting Rights Project @LawyersComm.
“A law passed with a discriminatory purpose has no legitimacy under our Constitution,” said Danielle Lang, senior legal counsel, Voting Rights and Redistricting at CLC. @DaniLang_DC
