    Judge orders Georgia to lift voting barriers for new US citizens

    A federal judge ordered Georgia election officials to end the “severe burden” facing some new U.S. citizens trying to vote for the first time, deciding Friday that they must be allowed to cast regular ballots if they show proof of citizenship at the polls.

    U.S. District Judge Eleanor Ross ruled against Secretary of State Brian Kemp, the Republican candidate for governor who faces Democrat Stacey Abrams in Tuesday’s election. Kemp, who oversees Georgia’s elections, had argued that state law already provides a process for new citizens to vote.

    Ross wrote in her order that the state’s process wasn’t working because some new citizens who signed up to register to vote have been turned away at early-voting locations.

    Her injunction, coming just four days before Election Day, orders that anyone whose voter registration has been put on hold because of his or her citizenship status can vote on a regular ballot after showing proof to a poll manager or deputy registrar. Previously, only deputy registrars could verify citizenship, and they weren’t always available when voters tried to cast their ballots.

    “This election is about who gets the vote out and who doesn’t and I hope it rains hard tomorrow.”

    — New Jersey Senate candidate Bob Hugin (R), quoted by the New York Times.

    but we can't take the rights of so many responsible gun owners for a few bad apples you see. We should make it easier to carry a gun instead, guns for everyone! Fucking hypocrites

    The excuse is that Democrats are not letting them investigate voter fraud by not handing over the voter rolls. Always the victims.
