It’s not even proof of ID. It is proof of ID for absentee ballots. Georgia already has proof of ID to vote at the polls. They are just requiring IDs for absentee ballots to replace signature matching. Which is a good idea as you can tie the ballot directly to a single individual that has a record somewhere at the state level.
It's actually more complicated and nuanced; basically expands the actual law as a concession to meet the illegal covid edicts.
Regarding ID, it does away with signature comparison and instead asks for ID. If you don't have one, then they will accept last four SSN. If you don't have that, they'll take utility bills and other documents, just like the DMV.
Those complaining about the ID requirement are basically saying that black people are too dumb and poor to remember 4 numbers or pay an electric bill. Who's the racist here?
Georgia already had voter id for in-person voting; this bill just started requiring ID for absentee ballots instead of signature match. It did some other stuff too but the reeee-ing is always about voter ID.

If all races have to show an ID it’s not racist. If they only required a certain race, yes that would be racist.

Bezo's WaPo had to give Biden "Four Pinocchio's" over his blatant lies. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/washington-post-biden-four-pinocchios-georgia-election-law
Even CNN admits that you can use a variety of items as "ID". https://archive.is/BJ4CI
Yes. What’s going to be really funny is if they move the game to a state that already has voter ID.
