Georgia: Cox expects 'pandemonium' over missing voter I.D.s
The Macon Telegraph reports: More than 675,000 Georgia voters lack a driver's license or some other state ID card, Secretary of State Cathy Cox said Monday, predicting that that could cause "pandemonium" before next month's primary when new voter-ID laws will be enforced.
Cox is on the July 18 ballot in the gubernatorial race against fellow Democrat Lt. Gov. Mark Taylor.
She said an analysis by her office compared Georgia's 5 million registered voters to a Department of Driver Services database, and found 676,246 voters either with no record of a license or state ID, or whose license had been revoked, suspended, canceled, denied or surrendered.
"We continue to believe that this law has the potential to disenfranchise thousands of Georgia voters," said Cox.
The Macon state senator who co-sponsored the voter ID law noted that many registered voters sit elections out. -- Macon Telegraph | 06/20/2006 | Cox: Lack of photo ID may cause 'pandemonium'
