:The Georgia bill is more than 5 years ago, making its value questionable. Regardless, can I infer that the Dems added the absentee voting amendment?--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 23:31, 22 November 2012 (EST)

::Well, it is the operative statute under which voters in Georgia are allowed to cast absentee ballots without excuse. I can do more research on the legislative history of the amendment in committee. I honestly don't know who introduced it or who in committee voted for it (although, if US Congress is any indication, the Rules Committee would be stacked with Republicans). Regardless, treating a no-fault absentee voting provision as extremely liberal seems to conflict with the legislative history, which shows the bill passing the House on a mostly party-line vote with Republicans in favor.
