More details: Georgia Voter ID Bill Could Die as Republican Legislator Stalls Moving it Forward

Georgia State Rep. Charlice Byrd (R-Woodstock) said Monday that a Republican colleague is holding up Voter ID legislation that Byrd said will help prevent fraud in the state.

That legislation, if enacted into law, would require non-U.S. citizens to have “BEARER NOT A U.S. CITIZEN — NOT VOTER ID” printed on their licenses, permits and/or identification cards.

Byrd told The Georgia Star News that State Rep. Bonnie Rich (R-Suwanee) is working to block Byrd’s legislation in a Special Committee on Election Integrity subcommittee.

The bill dies for the year if Rich’s efforts are successful.

“I thought the bill was going well,” Byrd said.

“There were many people who signed onto the bill, and certainly anytime I have presented it at coffees in my district and sent it off to other areas, they seem to be quite supportive of it.”
