Stop Voter Suppression resolution approved in Fulton County

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 Disallows volunteers from giving away food and drink to voters waiting in lines Revises times for advance voting Allows election officials to begin scanning verified ballots on the third Monday before election day Requires two Saturday voting days and makes two Sunday voting days optional Revises times for runoffs to be held on the 28th day after a general or special primary election Critics of the law claim that it was on that false narrative of widespread voter fraud that Republicans based the legislation.

The Georgia Voting Law and the End of the New South

Save this story for later. Geoff Duncan is the Republican lieutenant governor of Georgia. He is forty-six, a former minor-league baseball player and health-care executive, and is relatively new to politics, having first run for the state legislature in 2012. On March 8th, he was presiding over the state Senate when a Republican bill restricting voting access came to the floor.
