Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp signs sweeping election overhaul bill as ACLU threatens to sue - USA Today
The measure creates new procedures for how homeless people register to vote, requiring them to register at their county elections office, while another part of the bill allows counties, in the future, to take voters off the rolls if they are registered at nonresidential addresses. The ACLU has said this would lead to disenfranchising them.
It also allows voters to be removed from voter registration lists up to 45 days before an election. Federal law says states can't remove people from voter rolls within 90 says of an election.
But as we well know, when it comes to what MAGA wants, federal law be damned.
