Yesterday, Popular Information published an in-depth investigation on the corporate cash behind the Georgia legislators pushing voter suppression legislation. The report revealed that major corporations, including Coca-Cola, UPS, Delta, and AT&T, had backed the sponsors of two bills that would significantly restrict voting in Georgia.
I'm confused. How does adding a photo ID to an absentee ballot work? I mean, I take a photo of my DL and include it in the envelope with the ballot. How does that add any level of security, unless the voter rolls start including photos. And if it adds no security, what does it even do?
I already know the answer: makes it harder for poor people to vote. But I still don't get what the surface justification is.
