Georgia has made changes to its voter ID law. Last year the Georgia legislature passed a law requiring all voters to present a photo ID when voting. Because all Georgians do not possess a driver's license or a passport, the GA legislature amended the law to provide voter ID cards free of charge. However, less than a month before the July 18 primary the voter ID cards still have not been issued.

The initial law was approved by the Department of Justice per the Voting Rights Act. Regardless, the state has yet to determine who gets the cards, and how and where Georgia voters get the cards. This uncertainty has been compounded by yesterday's deadline for voter registration for the July 18 primary. Read the AP story here.

Mandatory photo ID's present problems for the elderly, the poor, and minorities who may not have the means of transportation to obtain voter ID's.
