Republicans in the Georgia Senate are considering walking back some of the proposals in an omnibus voting bill that could end no-excuse absentee voting after outcry from voting rights groups, Democrats and other lawmakers who say some changes are unnecessary.
The Senate Ethics committee will take up a new version of SB 241 Monday morning that removes several provisions from the 25-page bill, including a requirement to have absentee ballots returned with a photocopy of voter ID and a witness signature.
Changes to the bill comes after GPB News reported the initial proposal would give Georgia one of the most restrictive vote-by-mail laws in the country.
