Here's how Republican lawmakers changed the way Georgia votes

This year’s presidential election will be run differently in Georgia than the last one, thanks to a torrent of new laws.

From a ban on handing out water to more election audits and limits on drop boxes, Republican Georgia legislators have changed voting laws every year since Donald Trump lost the 2020 race.

Four months after that vote, lawmakers passed an election overhaul that reined in absentee voting. This year, legislators expanded voter eligibility challenges and added watermarks to ballots.

In addition, the State Election Board sought rule changes for hand counts and election certification requirements before a judge ruled them illegal and unconstitutional.
