Georgia House set to pass sweeping bill that would restrict voting access
CNN
The Georgia House, with only three days left in its legislative session, is expected to approve a sweeping bill that, among other provisions, would add ID requirements for absentee voting.
The passage of SB 202 will inch the legislation one step closer to becoming law as the GOP-led state Legislature hopes to successfully make election changes in the 2021 session, underscoring a national Republican effort that aims to restrict access to the ballot box following record turnout in the November election. The bill was amended in the House; because of those changes, members of both chambers will have to go into conference to negotiate final changes and the Senate will have to pass the amended bill, a move that is likely to come next week, right before the legislative session is set to end.More Related News
