Georgia Voter Laws

George Clooney, Netflix, Viacom, Amazon Oppose Voter Integrity Laws--Why?

It makes you wonder how so many are so confused or dumber than dirt. In spite of the far Left’s insistence that Georgia’s new election integrity law discriminates against minorities, the facts show the complete opposite. Also, many black voters support some of the proposed regulations in the Georgia election integrity laws such as the voter ID mandate.

Gov. Brian Kemp signed the bill on March 31. Certain provisions will go into effect on July 1:

• Special ballots will be created for nonpartisan elections

• Ballots must be printed in black and white ink on security paper

• A cutoff date of 11 days before a primary, general election or runoff election for mail-in ballot applications

• A deadline for the issuance of absentee ballots at least 25 days before a federal primary, general election or special election or 22 days before a municipal general election or primary

• A Georgia state driver's license number, ID card number, date of birth and the last four digits of a social security number or another approved form of identification must be printed on the outside of an absentee ballot

• Conditions for rejecting absentee ballots if certain requirements are not met

• The law expands in-person early voting for general elections, according to The AJC. Two early-voting periods are required on a Saturday for each county, with optional voting on Sunday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (hours may be extended to 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.).

• The voting period for runoff elections was also shortened from nine weeks to four weeks.

• The law bans people aside from poll workers from soliciting votes or signatures from voters.

• The distribution or display of campaign materials is also restricted to 150 feet of the "outer edge" of a polling location or within 25 feet of a person waiting in line to vote. Offering money and gifts – including food or drink – to a voter is prohibited. [USAToday]
