Part of Georgia’s controversial new voting law puts restrictions on organizations who send absentee ballot applications to voters, including a $100 fine for each application sent to a voter who has already applied for one.
“This would prevent us from helping Georgia voters to vote and be part of democracy,” said Tom Lopach, president of the Voter Participation Center, a group that sent thousands of absentee ballot applications to Georgia voters in the 2020 election cycle. His organization along with others have filed a lawsuit hoping to strike down this portion of the law.
GOP lawmakers say the measure will prevent people from receiving multiple applications. They say that led to confusion last year.

Letters and feedback: March 7, 2021 Florida Today © TIM SHORTT/FLORIDA TODAY Melbourne Police Lt. Brian Hart is wearing a body camera that will now be a part of the M.P.D. A demonstration was held at Melbourne City Hall.
Body cams for police officers applauded
I want to command Police Chief David Gillespie and the leadership in Melbourne for their decision to equip all their officers with body cams. I especially like the feature that activates the camera when the lights and siren of the police car are turned on.
This will lead to an additional administrative burden along with requests for the footage that these cameras produce. The Melbourne department has already recognized this aspect of their plan and is taking steps to address it.
