The news from Georgia is confusing: News
articles tell us that the U.S. Justice Department has struck
down both the Georgia's voter registration database
verification rules and its newly passed voter ID law. Our
reading of the DoJ letter and the response from the
Secretary of State is that it only affects the voter
registration database verification process, but it's hard to
tell. Read the DoJ letter and Handel's statement for
yourself. The first paragraph references letters we were
unable to find. If you find a link to them, please send the
link to dvn-tips@votersunite.org. All of our featured
articles are about this topic....
