Some updates on voting Bills
This is where the main battle has been won and lost. This is the only way rural Georgia can keep the State.
Good Guys
ID Required for Absentee
Bad Guys
Open AND scan absentee ballots early
Permanent Absentee Voter List
Must watch..no full language yet but will create a PERMANENT vote by mail list. Currently you have to apply each election.

ID Required for Absentee
quote:
Except for an elector who is entitled to
29 vote by absentee ballot under the federal Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee
30 Voting Act, 42 U.S.C. Section 1973ff, et seq., as amended, the application shall also
31 include a photocopy of one of the forms of identification specified in subsection
quote:
if the application is signed by the elector, compare
89 the signature or mark of the elector on the application with the signature or mark of the
90 elector on the elector's voter registration card, as well as verifying the elector's identity
91 based upon the identification provided by the elector in accordance with this Code
92 section.
Bad Guys
Open AND scan absentee ballots early
quote:
) Beginning After the opening of the polls on the day of second Monday prior to the
91 primary, election, or runoff, the registrars or absentee ballot clerks shall be authorized to
92 open the outer absentee ballot envelope on which is printed the oath of the elector in such
93 a manner as not to destroy the oath printed thereon; provided, however, that the registrars
94 or absentee ballot clerk shall not be authorized to and remove the contents of such outer
95 envelope or to and open the inner envelope marked 'Official Absentee Ballot,' except and
96 tabulate the ballot

Open and Scan Early
Permanent Absentee Opt in
Both of these are big deals for different reasons.
If the norm becomes opening and scanning early then you will have to have monitors in place for weeks to stay on top of this. Currently, you can do this you just have to post publicly, it hasn't been the norm. You could verify but not open and scan the ballot.
As for the perm opt in-Currently you have to apply absentee each election unless you are military or elderly or a few other cases. This would mean you can continue to cheat without having to update applications each election.
