More gerrymandering, as it were. [31 state licensing offices to be closed](http://www.al.com/opinion/index.ssf/2015/09/voter_id_and_drivers_license_o.html): \*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 … - and, of course, \*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. In those 29 counties you might be able to register at the courthouse, but you won’t be able to cast a ballot there unlessunless you have that ID… Look at the list of counties now where you can’t get a driver’s license. There’s Choctaw, Sumter, Hale, Greene, Perry, Wilcox, Lowndes, Butler, Crenshaw, Macon, Bullock … Depending on which counties you count as being in Alabama’s Black Belt, either twelve or fifteen Black Belt counties soon won’t have a place to get a driver’s license. Counties where some of the state’s poorest live… majority African-American. \* Shitheads. _(reposted from SRIotD, with less invective)_ --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/we-pit-malicious-gop-behavior/732869)._
