Georgia Senate votes to eliminate no-excuse absentee voting
The Georgia Senate voted to restrict absentee voting to those who are at least 65 years old, have a physical disability, or are out of town. They also voted to require Georgians to provide a driver’s license number, state ID, or other identification. The bill passed on a party-line vote, with Republicans supporting and Democrats opposing the measure.
