re: Alabama is a really bad state by every metric.

---

Back in 2000, Alabama became the last state in the country to overturn its ban on interracial marriage. And despite more than three decades having passed since the Supreme Court ruled such laws unconstitutional (rendering such bans effectively moot), more than 40 percent of Alabamians still voted against overturning it.

Mississippi didn't officially ratify the 13 Amendment that banned slavery until 2013.

I really wish they had put that to a vote in 2013.
