The End of Dirty Tricks???

[Alexandre Fedorovski]

Lawmakers in Georgia have given final passage to legislation brought by Republicans that could lead to a sweeping overhaul of state election law. Republicans said state election law was overdue to get an overhaul, irrespective of the 2020 election.

“One of the things we looked at is a system that’s broke,” said state Rep. Alan Powell (R-Hartwell) during a debate in the House.
Powell said the huge influx of absentee ballots in the 2020 election revealed an election system that needs to be changed.
The 95-page bill:

• Requires an ID number, like a driver’s license, to apply for an absentee ballot
• Cuts off absentee ballot applications 11 days before an election
• Limits the number of absentee ballot drop boxes
• Allows the state to take control of what it calls “underperforming” local election systems
• And disallows volunteers from giving away food and drink to voters waiting in lines. Gov. Kemp signs controversial GOP elections bill into law. From the author: No law is or will ever be perfect. But the American nation learns from its own mistakes and draws conclusions. This law narrows the room for machinations. Let's hope that the events of 2020 will not repeat themselves and again cover our nation in universal shame. No law is or will ever be perfect.
