Red Ink to Red Votes

In Alabama you need a picture ID to vote, and most people use a driver's license.  To save money Alabama closed a number of DMV offices.  Guess where?

The counties where DMVs were shut
Are mostly African-American, but
Alabama will say
It was the best way
To deal with a steep budget cut. 

I think more people buy guns illegally than vote illegally.  Both gun ownership and voting are constitutionally protected, and yet...

Was it politically and racially motivated?
The counties are minority populated
The Supreme Court has said
Discrimination is dead
So the voting rights act is emasculated.
