Georgia Trial on Voter Photo-ID Extends Into Third Day

The trial in Common Cause v Billups is continuing into its third day, Friday, August 24. See here for an account of the Thursday session. The issue is the constitutionality of Georgia’s law requiring voters to show Government Photo-ID in order to vote at the polls. The case is Common Cause v Billups, although the name if the case will probably change soon, since on Thursday the judge dismissed Common Cause as a plaintiff. Since the NAACP was retained as a co-plaintiff, the case will probably be renamed NAACP v Billups.

UPDATE: the trial is over now. A decision is expected in the next three weeks.
