Voter ID Shell Game
So apparently Alabama has decided to pass a voter ID law. Ok, fine. They sweentened the deal by saying you could could get your ID at any of the state's 67 DMV's. Good plan. Easier access, right?
But, wait ................... they then decided to close down 29 DMV sites, and just by sheer accident, 8 of 10 of the counties where the DMV's were closed were populated by large numbers of minorities.
You don't have to be a rocket scientist to see what's going on here.

Republicans trying to disenfranchise minorities.
I'm shocked. Shocked!
We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.
