"New identification requirements for absentee voters, despite reports that more than 200,000 Georgia voters lack a driver's license or state ID number. This measure will push voters to scramble to show proof of identity through other means like a utility bill, bank statement, passport, among others. Nationally, 25% of Black Americans lack government-issued photo ID, compared to only 8% of Whites."
Why do people assume it's hard for blacks to get some sort of ID?
"Under the new law, giving food and water to those waiting in line to vote is now illegal. This may discourage Black Georgia voters, who historically wait in longer lines than non-minorities and often in hot weather."
The media is leaving key verbiage out of this portion. It's an effort to prevent bribing somebody to vote a certain way. Are people not capable of bringing a granola bar and water bottle?
