Georgia Secretary of State Calls to End No-Excuse Absentee Voting
[THEEPOCHTIMES] Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger on Wednesday joined other Republicans in calling to end the state’s current practice of allowing all voters to submit absentee ballots without giving a reason why they cannot vote in person.

He said that the system, referred to as "no-excuse" absentee voting, "opens the door to potential illegal voting, especially in light of the federal rules that deny us the ability to keep voter lists, registration files, clean."

Raffensperger’s remarks were made at a hearing before the state Houses’s Governmental Affairs Committee and comes as his office continues to dismiss claims that there was any widespread fraud or irregularities in the November election.

Many states across the country implemented no-excuse absentee voting ahead of the November election, saying that it enables voters to bypass physical polling sites amid the pandemic caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus. Georgia, however, has had no-excuse absentee voting for 15 years.

"The no-excuse system voted into law in 2005—long before most of you, if not all of you, long before I was in the General Assembly—it makes no sense when we have three weeks of in-person early voting available," Raffensperger said, adding later that allowing everyone to vote by mail brings logistical challenges.

#1 Having already screwed over Ga and likely the Pro-USA voters.

The SOS of GA. (Fox) has decided to eliminate the possibility of Pro-USA Voting using the same means to REMOVE HIM from Office. So he has closed the hen house door after accomplishing what he set out to do, or was too short sighted to see could and did happen.

#2 Hello, Brad, you're the Secretary of State. Don't "call for" ending this farce--actually DO it.

#3 Raffensperger can't do this himself. It requires legislative action.
