Georgia: "no glitches" in voter I.D. on Tuesday
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports: Georgia's first test of its much-debated photo voter ID system passed Tuesday's elections with no reported glitches, state officials and some critics of the new law said Wednesday.
Secretary of State Karen Handel, who oversees Georgia's elections, said she heard of no complaints in the 22 counties where elections were held Tuesday.
Some who opposed the ID system say there were few complaints because many people without the proper ID didn't vote.
Kevin Thomas, Clayton County's Democratic Party chairman, said he received a telephone call from someone Tuesday wondering if the caller's grandmother could vote if she didn't have identification.
"I know for a fact [the ID requirement] did discourage people from coming out," Thomas said. -- Voter ID system passes first test, officials say | ajc.com
