Voters have to provide identification information to vote absentee.
Georgia previously conducted signature matching by comparing the voter's signature on the outer envelope to a previous signature on file to verify absentee ballots and applications. Now, voters will need to provide the number on their driver's license or state ID card to apply for an absentee ballot and provide one of those numbers or the last four digits of their Social Security number to verify their ballot. The state already requires voters to show a photo ID to vote in-person.
”Most counties will see expansions in early voting dates and hours.“
但投票站似乎增加了或提前了投票时间或日期！ 比如从早上9点，可能提前到早上7点。旁晚从下午5点，推迟到下午7点！
所以，说投票“更困难了”似乎站不住脚，至少对于自己亲自投票的人来说，应当更方便了， 下班后去投票都来得及！ 除非你是“三无”人员，无驾照，无州ID， 无社会保险号！ :)
“Voters who cast a ballot in the wrong precinct won't be counted unless they vote after 5 pm and sign a sworn statement attesting that they couldn't make it to their correct precinct in time. ”
＂＂In precincts that serve over 2,000 voters and had wait times of over an hour in the last election, election officials must either split up the precincts into two voting locations or add more staff and/or voting equipment to the location. ＂＂
"In one of the most controversial provisions that even some Republicans have trouble defending, the bill bans volunteers from delivering food, drinks, chairs, or rain gear within 150 feet of a polling place and 25 feet of a line to vote. Elections workers can, however, set up water stations. "
据说争论最激烈的是这条！
乔治亚州亚裔选民在2020年次大选的投票率创新高，但乔州通过限制有色人种的政治参与新法后，亚裔选民势必也会受到冲击，尤其是在通讯投票比率骤升的疫后时代。
非营利的”亚裔美国人及太平洋地区岛民人口研究组织数据”(AAPI Data)统计显示，亚裔选民的投票率近年在激烈的摇摆州频创新高，显示选民对政治参与的活跃程度。
社会运动人士表示，考虑AAPI Data，新法尤其令人警觉；亚裔美国人推进正义协会(Asian Americans Advancing Justice)诉讼主任菲阮(Phi Nguyen)说：”亚裔等有色选民，展现在乔州的政治力；而今部分民选官员试图压抑这些声音，而非参考多元、跨种族、跨族群的选民意见。”
乔州参议会上周在共和党议员大力支持下通过这项新法，紧缩通讯和提前投票规定，一小时内就送交共和党籍州长坎普(Brian Kemp)签署成为法律；批评者表示，此法不成比例的影响有色人种，包括亚裔；这些选民的公民权早已面临重大障碍。
新法实施前，通讯与提前投票可在选举日前11周提出，如今时限减半；此外，申请前述两种投票方式在新法上路后都需要验证身分，如驾照、州身分证或可接受的选民身分复印件。
去年11月大选的数据显示，乔州等13个选情最激烈的摇摆州，亚裔及太平洋岛屿选民采用通讯投票的比率，比2016年增加300%。
菲阮表示，相关限制影响亚裔尤甚，亚裔比其他族裔更加高度仰赖通讯投票
