Um. Did I just imagine reading about Alabama dmv closures in majority black counties, then?
well as the judge notes, a mobile ID truck stops by each county for a couple of hours "at least once a year" so I'm sure everything's fine
BUT IT MEANS Each Person HAS TO PAY The State of Alabama TO VOTE This is Not Constitutional A State Cannot Charge A Fee To Vote This is a Poll Tax Nothing More
That's ridiculous! They've closed the DMVs in some counties that are predominantly black! http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2015/10/01/alabama_closes_dmvs_in_majority_of_black_belt_counties_passed_voter_id_law.html … They also limited the hours in others!
EASY? $36 for a fee is "easy", PLUS the BC, SS etc? That man is HIGH.
Who the hell is he? Its very difficult tonget am official id and when u are poor you csnt even get there and dont have luxury of time. We want to encourage voting and it shpuld just be a matter of getting to the polls (easilly)
How easy is it to have one taken away?
I live in DC, and yet I'd way rather lose my credit cards than my driver's license b/c the process for replacing your license isn't all that easy.
Spoken like a man who always knew wjere his next meal is coming from, and one who doesn’t understand empirical evidence.
There should be zero inconvenience associated with the right to vote. FFS
So they have to pay for an ID so they can vote?
sounds legal.
