A new law aimed at reforming the election process in Georgia has brought much attention to the peach state.
The law, signed by Governor Brian Kemp and formally known as the Election Integrity Act of 2021, takes precise measures to overhaul voting requirements and procedures.
Some of the key parts of the law include requiring an ID number to apply for an absentee ballot, limiting the number of absentee ballot drop boxes, cutting off absentee ballot drop boxes 11 days before an election and allowing the state to take control of “underperforming” local election systems.

The violent mob that stormed the national Capitol Wednesday repulsed many voters who supported President Trumpâs reelection but the insurrection did not demoralize his zealots in Americaâs heartland.
That s the conclusion of random interviews with residents of the countryâs midsection who participated in the year-long CNHI News Service âPulse of the Votersâ survey from Michigan to Pennsylvania to Georgia.
Jason Gillman of Traverse City, Michigan, attended Trumpâs Washington, D.C. rally preceding the Capitol rampage. He typified spirited supporters who believe the election was stolen from Trump. He said he did not join the mob and condemned the unrest resulting in five deaths.
