Georgia supressing vote?

From the Atlanta Journal-Constitution:

Less than a week after a judge struck down Georgia's photo ID requirement for voters because it violated the state Constitution, nearly 200,000 letters — not the originally reported 20,000 — were sent out to registered voters, notifying them they may not have a valid driver's license or state-issued photo ID.

Photo ID is not required to vote Nov. 7. A state judge ruled Sept. 19 that Georgia's voter ID law violated the state Constitution.

David Worley, a Democratic appointee to the State Election Board, is threatening to file a complaint with the U.S. Justice Department, charging the board with voter suppression for mailing the letters after the law was struck down.

The letter suggests that if a voter does not have a photo ID, they will not be allowed to vote on Election Day.

"Essentially, this is a taxpayer-funded voter suppression effort by the Republicans and a willful violation of the court's order," Worley said. "I think it is a violation of the Voting Rights Act, and I intend to take whatever legal action is available, including filing a complaint with the Justice Department. This shows the lengths to which Republicans are willing to go to stay in power."
