State elections officials: no complaints last week

Only eight voters in Georgia’s special elections last week needed to cast provisional ballots because they lacked the required photo identification—that’s the word from Georgia elections officials. State law allows those who cast provisional ballots to return within 48 hours and show a form of photo ID, so their vote can count. It was unclear whether the eight voters returned.
In the biggest test yet of the state’s photo ID law, officials say they received no complaints either by phone or email. Local elections were held in 22 counties with low turnout.
