Republicans in Georgia have repeatedly floated election changes in the wake of false claims by former President Donald Trump and other Republicans that he lost Georgia in 2020 because of fraud.
GOP state Rep. John LaHood speaks in favor of election bill SB 189 at the Georgia House of Representatives in Atlanta on Thursday, the last day of the legislative session. LaHood is the sponsor of the bill in the House.
The bill also spells out what constitutes"probable cause" for upholding challenges to voter eligibility, which could lead to voters being removed from the rolls. Probable cause would exist if someone is dead, has voted or registered to vote in a different jurisdiction, has registered for a homestead exemption on their property taxes in a different jurisdiction, or is registered at a nonresidential address.
Democrat Ruwa Romman of Duluth said the bill and others like it chip away at confidence in the U.S. election system, a bedrock of its democracy.Republican Rep. Victor Anderson of Cornelia defended the voter challenge section, pointing to a provision deeming the appearance of someone's name on the U.S. Postal Service's national change of address list insufficient on its own to sustain a challenge. He also noted a provision postponing challenges that occur within 45 days of an election.
