The goal isn't to prevent people from voting, it's to prevent CHEATING.

Sounds like the US is joining the rest of the world.

WTF, damn Republicans 🤮😡👎👹🥺🔥💩🆘

thereidout What a blatant smack in the face to minority voters, this will backfire on the GOP, blatant voter suppression. Pure Evil

GA in 2020

Voting for every American citizen, one vote per person. Nothing wrong with that.

Great news for legitimacy in voting. This will cut down on fraud massively.

Let’s see , if you don’t have a picture ID and want to vote by mail you have more then a year to get it for the 2022 elections. I have no sympathy for these whiners.

Sifill_LDF We fight back by VOTING. 2/3 of US states have elections this spring - with 10 happening on April 6th. School board, township trustee and the like. and VirusFreeVotingILLINOIS

we need fed laws: FOR VOTERS PHOTO ID. such id should be free, easy to get. for ppl w/o id, take their fingerprint, photo, signature-application, LET THEM VOTE. give them id. FOR 2-STEP AUTHENTICATION FOR MAIL IN VOTING. 1 voter fraud is 1 too many.

Good deal

Republicans add a test & things might get really weird? Guess we’re going 2 find out who has smarter voters? * Dems: Find the stairs & we can vote!

Good

What's the problem with that? Only Americans can vote in our election. Any non-American can sit and watch.

If republicans want you to vote so bad. Why do they try so hard to suppress it.

Finally!

Were voting laws there changed without preclearance from the AJ.

This is called VoterSuppression

Congratulations Georgia!

Oh god not verifying their identity, the horror! How racist!

NO MATTER WHAT THEY DO, THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS DEAD IN GEORGIA. NOT EVEN CHEATING WILL WORK. TIMES HAS CHANGED!

Undemocratic

About time

The GQP will stop at nothing to suppress the Left in all matters. We must vote them out!

This needs to go to the Supreme Court-violates every constitutional aspect of what this country is supposed to be about-I spent 4 years holding my breathe hoping my children would continue to live in a democracy-albeit flawed - this action should disgust everyone on every level.

The Repubs are going to hurt their own voters too.

MLB's Braves, NBA's ATLHawks, NFL's AtlantaFalcons: Now what? Will you stand with your fans and customers - especially your Black fans and customers - and defend and promote their right to vote? (MLB_PLAYERS, NFLPA, TheNBPA, you know this is an attack on Black voters.)

Try and try to suppress the vote, but we will vote. And you will lose, you soulless republican legislators. And I will be standing there, passing out water next to my copy machine legitimately attaching IDs to ballots, then I’ll drive to the vote box myself. All the day long

Sick and despicable

You use signature verification in the US...?

Huh? You don't have to give both ID and signature anyways? Im not sure why giving a basic id or license number is hard to do as well because frankly you need it in almost any aspect of life in the U.S.A

ID should be required but early voting should not be suppressed in any way shape or form and everyone should be able to vote everyone as long as your a citizen. And stop this don’t have to be a citizen to get a drivers license what’s wrong with America

Great ideas!

God forbid we ensure only valid votes are counted

Crush the corruption. Destroy the Republican Party!
