SAVANNAH, Ga. (WTOC) - There are five lawsuits challenging the constitutionality of Georgiaâs new elections law. Voter rights groups sued after Governor Brian Kemp signed Senate Bill 202.
The new law made sweeping changes to absentee voting requirements.
Voting rights advocates say that will ultimately lead to longer lines at the polls, which they argue is a form of voter suppression.
How a close encounter with Colin McRae left a lasting Impreza impression

Aside from the rare pleasure of driving a 22B for issue 282 s cover story, getting back behind the wheel of a late-’90s Subaru stirred some very welcome memories. Securing an exclusive UK first drive of the 22B for the very first issue of this magazine back in 1998 was a highlight for obvious reasons. However, it’s a memory from the year before – when spectating on the 1997 RAC Rally with a mate – that’s my ultimate Impreza moment.
The ditch wasn’t very deep, or indeed that wide. But then the forest track that it fringed looked almost straight to me, so I was sure we’d be fine. It had taken us about half an hour to get there, hiking from a car park through the endless pine trees, shoulders hunched against the biting November cold.

Since the governor signed Senate Bill 202 into law, public outrage has grown over the past few weeks. It is the reason why Major League Baseball decided to move its All-Star game out of Atlanta.
But for Savannah and Chatham County voters, what exactly does the new law mean for you and what will be different the next time you cast a ballot?

But Chatham County Board of Registrars Chairman Colin McRae, who leads the board responsible for much of the absentee voting process here, says the bill sets out to fix a problem that doesn’t exist.
Under the new law, Georgia voters now have a 59-day window to request and return an absentee ballot instead of the previous window of 176 days. The bill will also cut Chatham County’s ballot drop boxes down from 10 boxes to two.
Raffensperger said closing the window to request an absentee ballot will help prevent counties from being swamped by multiple absentee ballot requests from the same voter.
