Letters on voter ID under fire (AJC)

"200,000 mailed out after law struck down

Less than a week after a judge struck down Georgia's photo ID requirement for voters because it violated the state Constitution, nearly 200,000 letters — not the originally reported 20,000 — were sent out to registered voters, notifying them they may not have a valid driver's license or state-issued photo ID."

"The vice chair said that at the time the order came down on the 19th, all but 20,000 of the letters had gone out," Worley said.

But according to a printing and postal delivery schedule provided on Wednesday by the State Elections Division of the Secretary of State's office, there were 79,496 letters delivered to the post office for mailing on Sept. 20 and another 115,747 sent on Sept. 25."

Outrageous. The Republican (McIver) dominated election board sends out letters telling people they will need the photo ID even after the law was struck down. They have already substantially achieved their goal even without the law. The whole idea was to prevent a certain demographic from showing up, and that almost certainly has been accomplished given the confusion they are creating.
