@DDonde deliberately making it a challenge for people to cast their votes.

@cycleman Found it through a link on that site.

This has a list of the changes, which is what I was looking for, thanks.
@DDonde It’s funny when you go to the links all you get is spin and opinion but never a direct answer on what changes were made. To simplify without extraneous narrative:

One of the bills would require registered voters to provide their date of birth, driver’s license number or other ID card number to request an absentee ballot. The bill would also require voters to submit photocopies of their ID similar to a separate bill proposed by state Sen. Jason Anavitarte, R-Dallas, last week
– ending automatic voter registration for Georgians who receive new or renewed driver’s licenses;
– prohibiting anyone except state and local elections officials and candidates from sending voters applications for mail-in ballots;
– blocking people from casting ballots in congressional or U.S. Senate runoffs after voting in general elections in a different state;
– requiring county coroners to share monthly data on local deaths with county elections officials to prevent illegal ballots from dead voters;
– allowing poll watchers to monitor vote tabulations more closely.

In other words, closing off all the ways elections are STOLEN.
