'Cannot wait for Washington:' Voting rights activists scramble to navigate new restrictions ahead of
November elections
When activist Tammye Pettyjohn Jones knocks on voters' doors in her rural corner of Georgia this month, she'll have a new tool in hand: a portable printer.
A sweeping voting law Georgia enacted this year now requires voters who do not have a driver's license or state ID to provide a copy of another form of identification with their absentee ballot application.
So Pettyjohn Jones and other volunteers with Sisters in Service of Southwest Georgia plan to take photos of that identification and print them out on the spot for voters to submit along with their absentee ballot applications.
"You don't have time to hem and haw about how hard it is" to vote, said PettyJohn Jones, who is working to turn out voters ahead of November's municipal elections in places like Americus, Georgia. "You've got to go into a problem-solving mode."
