Alabama takes voter suppression even further [View all]

From a news item late yesterday - the state of Alabama will close 45 DMV offices by March 2016. There will be four (4) DMV offices remaining in the whole state.

They passed a voter ID law, and now they're going to make it harder to obtain an ID.

This is getting really ridiculous. Anyone who denies this is voter suppression pretty much needs to b put to sleep.
