And the headline reads: “Gov. Bentley says decision to close driver’s license offices not race-based.” Now I don’t claim to be the smartest person on the planet, but what else would you expect him to say.

Yes presidential hopeful Hilary Clinton and Rep. Terri Sewell, D-Birmingham both agree that closing the DMV offices just doesn’t smell right. But that's not the case according to Gov. Bentley

Bentley say’s the closings does not make it difficult to vote. Bentley said even thought a driver’s license is the most common form of ID in the state, anyone without a driver’s license can have a photo ID made at any county register’s office.

Bentley said Alabama will make every effort to insure anyone who wants to vote can. “We will go to people’s houses to have their picture made if they don’t have a photo ID in the state of Alabama,” Bentley said.
