A blast of left wing bigotry towards the south, Alabama, in particular, you mean. The license offices were very marginal as to the number of licenses issued. They were closed due to cost, not bigotry. I see a few will re-open once monthly as some funding was found.
Typical left wing ploy -- never let facts get in the way of propaganda.

They closed one in Madison years ago, right down from me. Now I have to drive to the court house. The lefties must have done that to stop all the whites from voting. What else could it be? Where was old beternnun's upset then? The sad part? Beternnun KNOWS this is pure BS, and knows the reasons for the closings, but he is just this dishonest. How does this stop or hinder blacks more than it hinders whites? Demoslops are just IDIOTS.
“Here in Alabama, without the right kind of ID, it’s nearly impossible to vote,”
Just as it should be hillary!
ALEA said the reduction in service at the driver's license offices was caused by a cut in the agency's General Fund appropriation.
ALEA spokeswoman Anna Morris said that examiners from ALEA's district offices will no longer spend a portion of their week traveling to and working in the county satellite offices.
That means people won't be able to test for a new driver's license in those county offices. But the counties could still provide services such as license renewal.
Law Enforcement Secretary Spencer Collier said ALEA's General Fund appropriation was reduced from $56 million to $45 million.
Collier said the Driver License Division, which issues 1.2 million licenses a year, is understaffed and has 103 vacant positions.
The 31 satellite locations handle less than 5 percent of driver license transactions, according to ALEA.
"With the new budget cuts passed by the Alabama Legislature for fiscal year 2016, and with our limited personnel, travel has been eliminated to these part-time satellite locations," Collier said in a news release.
"Driver license examiners will be utilized to staff District Driver License Offices full-time and will no longer provide staffing to these 31 county owned, satellite locations."
Earlier this year, ALEA raised the fee for a driver license renewal from $23.50 cost $36.25, which the agency said would cover more of the cost of producing the license.
Collier said that was an effort to be proactive on funding ALEA services, but the Legislature reduced ALEA's budget by the amount the fee increase is expected to bring in.
New Mexico will issue driver's license to illegals without proper ID. Anyone see problem with voting fraud? Further, DHS will not accept these licenses for boarding of aircraft. Is DHS racist?
What those who are critical of this in relation to photo ID are not telling you is that one can still get a license renewal or photo ID at any courthouse in the state during any open business hours. It is the issuing of tests for new driver's licenses and road tests that have been curtailed. And for JT and Contendah, please refer to my post under the thread of "Unspeakable" from June of this year, as to how and why voter fraud can occur. It has been "bumped" for your convenience.
