(5,532 posts)Make all roads into and out of those counties toll roads. Make the speed limit on those roads one inch an hour. Raise the cost of a drivers license a function of how far you live from the DMV and how old you are. There's an endless list of ideas from the racists.

(24,010 posts)News that is vitally important to all of us!
News that is deep, well-researched and well-presented!
News that is news--contains important info a lot of people didn't know.
News that incorporates the macrocosm (old Earth, geology, soil layers, slavery) and the microcosm (puny white fascist minds eliminating DMV offices).
Really, wow! I'm not surprised at Maddow, but still...wow! Peace
I wish she'd take on the corporate-run, no-audit, 'TRADE SECRET' voting systems that made all this possible in Alabama and other places--1) requiring driver's license ID; 2) eliminating all places you can get a driver's license in your county, if you live in a black-majority county.
Cuz that's how they set up slashing poor people off the voting rolls--s/electing racist assholes for public office with their vote-rigging machines.
They also s/elected a Congress with an 8% approval rating. I'm surprised people haven't caught onto that by now: they WEREN'T elected! But maybe people know it, but just don't know what to do about it. Neither do I (it's so locked in, everywhere). Crying in the wilderness here: Rachel, please take on the 'TRADE SECRET' code voting systems!

Out of of the hundred of thousands that have died in "WAR" to let us have this vote with there blood and wounds( even if you were a republican or a democrat in combat or on the front lines marching)------------------current republicans want to deny our privilege to vote, and the current Roberts U.S Supreme Court has just gutted the 1964 Voting Act, this item playing out in good old Alabama is just the case this right wing Roberts court needs on the docket.
This is why we need to get out the vote:
