      Jackson county (far northeast) voted D in the presidential election in 2000. Picture an anti-interracial marriage / Gore voter

      Yup.

      As recently as 2000, 33 years after the law had been declared to be unconstitutional, 40% of Alabamians demanded that the law banning interracial marriage be kept on the books.

      The reason it was done by referendum instead of by passing a new law in the house was that going on record as being in favor of interracial marriage was seen by many as being politically too dangerous

      Have you met Black Alabamians?

      They are often very social-conservative. I can believe many voted no to interracial marriages.

      If this had taken place in Florida in current times it would not have passed. It’s crazy that anti-miscegenation was still a thing in 2000.
