The Atlanta Journal-Constitution offers this news update, which begins: “The state of Georgia must allow persons whose citizenship has been questioned in a new voter verification system the opportunity to cast a ballot in the Nov. 4 elections, a three-judge court ruled Monday.”
You can find the 27-page opinion of the three-judge court, finding that Georgia’s new efforts to comply with HAVA cannot be implemented until the DOJ grants section 5 preclearance, here. Given this finding that these changes have not been precleared, the remedy that the three-judge court imposes—including allowing the lists to be the basis to require these voters to cast provisional (called here “challenged” ballots)—seems odd. It looks like a good political compromise, but I am not sure it is right on the law of preclearance.
