Vote Supressers More Blatantly Racist Than the KKK

If you think this couldn't happen in Kentucky, if Matt Bevin wins Nov. 3 and the repugs take over the state house next year, you're kidding yourself.

What happens when a state with a tough voter ID law suddenly makes it much harder for minorities to get driver's licenses? We are about to find out in Alabama.

Facing a budget crisis, Alabama has shuttered 31 driver's license offices, many of them in counties with a high proportion of black residents. Coming after the state recently put into effect a tougher voter ID law, the closures will cut off access -- particularly for minorities -- to one of the few types of IDs accepted.

According to a tally by AL.com columnist John Archibald, eight of the 10 Alabama counties with the highest percentage of non-white registered voters saw their driver's license offices closed.

"Every single county in which blacks make up more than 75 percent of registered voters will see their driver license office closed. Every one," Archibald wrote.

They should stop pretending and just announce that only white, straight, rich, male repugs are allowed to vote.  Who's going to stop them?
