It's the same argument they make with voter ID laws; non whites are too stupid to successfully get an ID / open a bank account / etc. It's some of the most racist rhetoric I've ever seen but somehow it's pitched as "anti-racist".
- Sohcahtoa82 3y agoIn 2011, Alabama passed a strict voter ID law. Then, in 2015, Alabama closed DMVs in predominantly black counties, making it hard for black people to get IDs. It took a federal probe to force Alabama to reverse the decision to close the DMVs. https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/12/12/16767426/alabama-voter-suppression-senate-moore-jones https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/12/12/16767426/... Personally, I think we'd be better off with the vote-by-mail system that Oregon and Washington use.
