Georgia: arguments today in state supreme court on voter I.D.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports: The drawn-out fight over whether Georgians should be required to show photo identification when voting resumes today when the state Supreme Court takes up the issue.
The heated debate over photo voter ID has been on hold since September, when a Fulton County Superior Court judge ruled the requirement violated the state constitution.
Former Gov. Roy Barnes, now a lawyer in private practice, argued successfully that requiring voters to produce a government-issued photo ID at the polls placed a condition on voting above what is called for in the Georgia Constitution. Judge T. Jackson Bedford Jr. agreed, calling it an unlawful "prerequisite" to voting. -- Debate over voters' photo ID goes to state Supreme Court | ajc.com
