Voter ID and driver's license office closures black-out Alabama's Black Belt - GMDino - 09-30-2015 http://www.al.com/opinion/index.ssf/2015/09/voter_id_and_drivers_license_o.html Quote: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, whether they pass on the first try or not.

No. RE: Voter ID and driver's license office closures black-out Alabama's Black Belt - Au165 - 10-01-2015 There is an inference here that it is racially motivated, and maybe it is as I don't know much about Alabama politics, but considering 29 counties won't have these and only 12 to 15 are in the "Black Belt" it would seem to effect largely minority and none minority counties evenly. RE: Voter ID and driver's license office closures black-out Alabama's Black Belt - BmorePat87 - 10-01-2015 So it's not just offices to take tests, they're closing offices where you can get a licenses or a non-driver ID? If so, that's a legitimate concern. |
