@LadyBronte That would be true if the states made it easy to get an ID card. They don't. Alabama cut the number of locations where IDs could be obtained to increase the difficulty when they put in their voter ID law for voter suppression.

@windinhishair I'm with Stargate. Bullshit.

@LadyBronte Not bullshit. But outdated.
So basically, they tried, but the feds told them to knock it off.
Over the past few days, stories claiming that Alabama had closed DMV offices in predominantly black counties went viral. The concern is that the closure of these offices would make it difficult for people to get proper IDs to vote.
But the stories getting attention were almost all from 2015. Since then, the state has partially reversed the closures and expanded some office hours after a federal probe found that the move disproportionately hurt black residents.
