Four Republicans did not vote on the bill, which was approved 29-20.
The legislation, SB 241, would also change the absentee ballot verification process. Instead of using the subjective signature match process, voters would be required to include their driver's license or state ID card number when applying for and returning an absentee ballot. Voters without these forms of identification would have to submit a photocopy of another form of accepted ID, as well as provide the last four digits of their Social Security number and their date of birth.
"This is not about the process. This is about suppressing the vote of the same group of people, especially me and people who look like me, and I take it personally. I am here in this chamber because of the Voting Rights Act," state Sen. Gail Davenport said."Some good-hearted legislators want to please a former selfish, racist leader and his followers. Well, I tell you today, don't do it."Georgia Lt. Gov Geoff Duncan speaks, June 17, 2020, in Atlanta.
Republican Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan, the president of the Senate, did not preside over the body as SB 241 was debated because he doesn't support the bill. "Lt. Governor Duncan has been crystal clear that he does not support the rollback of no-excuse absentee voting in Georgia, which currently is included in SB 241. He staunchly opposes that provision," Macy McFall, Duncan's deputy chief of staff and communications director, told ABC News.

We're Iraqi war allies, we were left behind, as easy range target for militia who hates US allies, some of us got killed others had to flee to safety. Please save us, please Re activate SIV PROGRAM for us.67
These GA state lawmakers say they’re passing these bills for voter security. How does limiting early voting and no excuse absentee voting secure elections? Making it as difficult as possible to vote, making people wait hours in line is criminal. Debate ideas. Stop suppression.
Republicans can’t win if they don’t cheat. There is nothing wrong with any past election. They just mad they lost.
Let them know SenatorWarnock

facebook is covering up violent hate crimes in Lacey Nj. Though they have given no explanation for why their moderators have been allowed to silence a victim of 12 years of violent abuse, it seems they are protecting profits and only fake caring about victims rights for profit.
Voters should get out and vote, using proper rules. Stacey Abrams shouldnt be going out to churches and events & pressuring the masses into filling out absentee ballots favoring her party. How is that “Jim Crow”?

Democrats can't win if they can't cheat! Voter ID nationwide!
Well, that pandering and victimization took longer than I thought.
Race baiting. Sad!
Do you think this is what people really need right now?
Lol so why don’t you want any integrity in the vote then
He's right. Thinking black people have the ability to properly register to vote is racist. The GOP should be ashamed for treating us like intelligent human beings.
Of course, it reeks of racism and bigots in here...
Oh well, the Georgia voters screwed up when they took the state democrat. Hope the get everything they voted for.
The Rev. Senator from Georgia is correct. Florida is trying some white only suppression as well. How can we stop the GOP from preventing this hijacking of voters rights?
How can they even do that in a national election?
Dont allow them to suppress your vote. Voting is a right!
They know how to vote? They stood in line and they will vote no matter what people do to stop them. Their better people. Your not stopping anyone.
Voting rights bill needs reconciliation to shove it they to protect the vote
The great state of Ga. ...we stopped the steal
Shame on you

Can’t wait for for the majority of Racist sexual predators vote on USSupremeCourt
GOP can’t win unless they cheat. GOPVoterSuppression
Republicans never change. Make it harder to vote cause they lost to Democrats using their own laws. Maybe by changing the laws again they will have a better chance of winning. Losers!
You should want all citizens to vote ! It should be made easier since they proved no voter fraud. Republicans are a weak cheating racial party.
African Americans are their target 🎯
Why not just make voting compulsory.
Show up, vote...the left just looking for loopholes to ballot harvest
