Atlanta Journal-Constitution : Georgia Voter Challenge and Election Security Bills Signed into Law

Mark Niesse from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that Georgia Governor Kemp signs new voter challenge and election security laws:

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp signed election-year changes into law Tuesday that empower voter eligibility challenges, require more audits and tighten ballot security ahead of this year’s contentious presidential campaign.

The three-bill package reflects Republicans’ latest efforts to revise election rules in the wake of the 2020 presidential election, when many supporters of Donald Trump said they mistrusted the voting process after he lost in both machine and hand vote counts.

Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger praised Kemp for signing the election bill package, which includes many provisions sought by conservative activists during this year’s legislative session.

“Georgia is already a national leader in election integrity and security, and we congratulate Gov. Kemp and the General Assembly on the passage of the additional election integrity measures contained in this bill,” Raffensperger said.
