Guesses: Stereotype about women can't drive and shouldn't be trusted to vote? Some stereotype about POC can't drive? Possibly some commentary on undocumented persons (who also can't vote) and how they can't drive? Maybe some sort of neural synapse about needing identification (usually a driver's license) to vote?

He can't mean white women. They went for Moore by 30 points.

Agree - but maybe 1) he's dumb/wrong/uninformed or 2) he meant all women? I don't know if I have seen that breakdown yet. Perhaps overall women (thanks to black women) voted for Jones.

I think he meant Dems in general.. or.. black people? Maybe poor people? Maybe he saw a lot of voters get rides? Idk.. I think he just doesn't like that people went out of their way to drive people to vote.

Either way, he's just an angry fool.

This is probably the case. The right-wingnuts are already claiming that busloads of felons or "illegals" were dropped off at polling locations to cast fraudulent ballots.

Maybe he was frustrated about a shitty driver he recently encountered and since he was already is rant mode he decided to just sneak that in there real quick.

I think every person in every state thinks the people in their state are the worst drivers. Turns out, we all suck at driving.

Nah, we take the cake.

Check out /r/neworleans for the daily flipped car report. There's always at least one.
