The Atlanta Journal-Constitution offers this report, which begins: “Rep. David Scott of Atlanta, backed by Democrats on the House Government Oversight Committee, is calling for a congressional hearing into whether the U.S. Department of Justice improperly approved Georgia’s voter ID law.” Another snippet: “Democrats last week acknowledged it was unlikely the Republican chairman of the committee would agree to investigate the Republican-run Justice Department.” Meanwhile, Cecil Staton writes this oped. A snippet: “As the legislator who originally introduced and shepherded the photo ID legislation through the Senate, I am deeply offended that anyone would suggest or imply that the motivation for this law was racism. What we originally proposed in Senate Bill 84, which was rolled into House Bill 244, was to eliminate as much voter fraud as possible, so that the votes of all Georgians are protected.”
