Georgia Passes Sweeping Election Reform Bill

The newly approved legislation aims to reshape the state's electoral landscape ahead of the 2024 presidential election.

The Georgia legislature has passed a comprehensive elections bill, expanding ballot access and introducing new voter eligibility challenges.
Independent candidates like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. may benefit from eased ballot access requirements, needing to qualify in just 20 states or territories.
The bill imposes new registration requirements for Georgia's unhoused population and simplifies the process for challenging voter registrations.
Critics argue the legislation could disenfranchise voters, particularly those of color, and is a response to unfounded voter fraud claims.
The ACLU has vowed to sue if Governor Brian Kemp signs the bill into law, citing violations of the National Voter Registration Act.
