Georgia Ordered to Allow Voting

Federal judges have ordered the state of Georgia to allow voting by any citizen "flagged" by the state's voter ID law.

The court also ordered Secretary of State Karen Handel to “make diligent and immediate efforts to notify, in a uniform manner, every person whose voter registration presently remains flagged.” Those voters must be told that they can vote by a “challenged ballot,” if necessary, and that there is a discrepancy in the voters’ registration information, the court said.
