They had a poll on interracial marriage not that long ago.  Less than 15% were opposed.

Alabama voted to remove its interracial marriage ban from the state constitution as recently as 2000.



59-41.

Why was this change necessary? I thought the Loving case made anti-miscegenation laws illegal in 1967? Was this merely symbolic?

It was symbolic, but also necessary. If Loving had somehow been overturned before 2000, the ban would have been enforced again. Better safe than sorry.
