flag Georgia Republicans pass bill requiring paper ballots and stricter voter rules ahead of November election.

flag Georgia Republicans advanced Senate Bill 568, which would require hand-marked paper ballots without QR codes and assign early voters to specific polling locations by November’s election. flag The bill mandates pre-election publication of voter lists, real-time vote reporting, and fines up to $10,000 for county registrars who fail to maintain accurate rolls. flag Pushed amid concerns over voting system security, the changes face criticism for being rushed, with experts warning of logistical challenges in acquiring ballot printers in time. flag Democrats oppose the overhaul, arguing it could create confusion and hinder access, especially with different rules for May’s primary and November’s general election. flag The bill passed 8-4 in committee and moves to the full Senate.
