85,000 in 22 counties.

The ongoing battle over requiring photo ID when voting in Georgia goes back to court today. Since her election, Secretary of State Karen Handel has been busy planning educational programs to notify voters of the requirements that will (pending outcome of todays findings) be in effect for the September 18 Special Elections in 22 counties.

According to Handel, the state has compared county voter registration lists with the state’s licensed drivers and identified nearly 85,000 people in those 22 counties alone who apparently have no license or state identification card or whose licenses have been suspended, canceled, revoked, surrendered or have expired.

Here's to our heroes at Bondurant, Mixson & Elmore who, along with many other attorneys, have been fighting this law since it first showed up in 2005!
