If you are going to posit that a fundamental right — voting — requires some sort of positive ID, then you are morally required to make rightfully obtaining that ID as easy as possible.
This sort of looks (and smells) like anything but.

Of course! Roll Tide!
***Dave, it’s not about helping people vote, it’s about keeping the wrong people from voting.
Very well-written article. The topic is of course serious but it was a fun read anyway?
BTW I'm from Alabama and this is a crying shame

'Oh… and the rationalization of “budget balancing”? When a state is so poorly run and its economy so wretched that it cannot keep open its DMVs? The most basic service citizens need, in order to have freedom of movement and ID necessary for so many modern tasks? Nothing better illustrates a party's utter incompetence at the craft of government.'
