Alabama DMV closings draw call for federal voting rights probe | 06 Oct 2015 | An Alabama congresswoman has formally asked the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate the state’s shuttering of driver's license offices in several heavily black counties, warning that the closures throw up another obstacle to voting. The call for a federal probe comes as opposition to the state's decision, announced last Wednesday, continues to mount. “These closures will potentially disenfranchise Alabama's poor, elderly, disabled, and black communities,” wrote Rep. Terri Sewell in a letter sent Monday to Attorney General Loretta Lynch…Sewell, a Democrat whose district includes Selma, the historical birthplace of the push for African-American voting rights, called for “a full and thorough investigation by DoJ.”
