What's in the Georgia law? Voters can cast mail ballots without photo ID, in-person requirements not changed
Fox News
Voters with photo ID are required to use that to verify their absentee ballots, but the state provides options for those who don't have one.
The change eliminates signature-matching -- a process that can be subjective at times -- as the method of confirming absentee voters' identities. Instead, if voters have a driver's license number or a state ID number, they are required to use that to verify who they are. This change has been criticized by many as likely to make it more difficult for Georgians, specifically minorities who are more likely to vote Democratic, to vote by mail. "The new election bill in Georgia is not about showing ID to vote," Atlantic writer Jemele Hill wrote. "Republicans are salty the state went blue, and they resent that their power was taken away by black voters. They want a rigged game because they’re too lazy to come up with a new vision and compete for votes."More Related News
