Georgia Voting Reform
The Georgia house has passed one of my proposed reforms. The new bill will fix the problems of the last bill, which required a non-free ID card and which did nt make the ID card easy enough to get. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports:
The bill, which is expected to be challenged by the ACLU and other groups, now goes to the governor to be signed into law.GOP leaders introduced the bill, in hopes of appeasing a federal court judge who barred the state from enforcing a similar measure passed last year on grounds that it was tantamount to a poll tax.
The new bill mandates that all 159 county voter registration offices be available to make picture IDs for voters who dont have a valid drivers license or state-issued ID card.
