Georgia Election Reform

The Associated Press:

Gov. Sonny Perdue on Friday signed into law a requirement that voters show photo identification before casting ballots, legislation that had prompted most black lawmakers to walk out of the state Capitol.

Previously, registered voters could present a Social Security card or other non-photo ID when they arrived to vote. Republicans, who control both legislative chambers, pushed the plan as a way to crack down on voter fraud.

“I believe this is a reasonable requirement,” said Perdue, also a Republican. “It will not be a hardship on any voter.”

Under the new law, an ID will be given free to people who can’t afford the fee or say they don’t have a driver’s license or other form of photo ID and need one to vote.

(Word is, they will even go to people's house to give them a state issued ID)
