I did not say that they prevented all Blacks from voting. The goal is simply to prevent as many as possible.
In Florida the standard ID is a drivers license,
If you are poor, and drive to work, the insurance is expensive, and poor people let it lapse.
They are more likely to get stopped, for sure. Every time I see someone stopped, it is a Black person.
I have not been stopped for ten years now. I admit that I am a very careful driver and always signal and exhibit courtesy, while most drivers here are rude, fail to signal and will hook at you to go even if the light has not turned green.
If you are stopped, and do not have your insurance. the cops call a tow truck that will put your car in an impound lot and it will cost at least $200 to get it out. The cop will also take your license away from you. If you do not bail your car out, they sell it without a title to a junkyard. And if you owe money on it, you will still be liable to pay off the loan.
Poor people are ruined when this happens.
They are so pissed off they just forget about getting an ID card. They don't want to give the State of Florida another nickel.
In some of my classes, half the students had lost their licenses. Sure, they should have wised up and paid for the insurance. I found this out when students stopped coming to class.
