Today’s AJC reports that some Georgians have received letters from the State Election Board advising them to make sure that they have valid identification.

“I think the voters might be a little concerned,” said Nancy Boren, executive director of the Muscogee County Office of Elections and Registrations. “You get a letter in the mail that says, ‘You might not have an ID.’”

You see, the State Election Board is in a catch-22 situation. The earlier judicial complaints have centered around voter education around the new ID rules. So the Board has been trying multiple ways to make people aware of how to have valid ID. Then in mid-September, we had the latest judicial delay in enforcing the law. So now it will not apply to the November general election. But here we have a letter which has literally “crossed in the mail” and was received by some after the judge postponed enforcement.

So does this confuse people? I’m sure it might. But it’s only due to the constant legal challenges that puts the rules “on-again” and “off-again”. Of course, if one of the people receiving the letter actually made sure that they did obtain one of the free photo ID’s, they would more than comply with the old law.
