In a law implemented last year, Georgia's 'Exact Match' requirement flags voters who have discrepancies in their official identifying documents and may be non-citizens.
As originally written, at the actual polling location, only Deputy Registrars could immediately clear individuals to vote (provisional ballots could still be cast). This was deemed burdensome in U.S. District Court and now Poll Managers can also clear individuals to vote who show proof of citizenship.
The announcement of this change is here: http://sos.ga.gov/index.php/general/judge_includes_poll_managers_in_georgias_existing_non-citizen_verification_process_
Voters were notified in advance of discrepancies and multiple avenues to resolve the issue are available, including:
- in advance by faxing or emailing documents to the county registrar
- when balloting, providing documentation to a Deputy Registrar (or Poll Manager now)
- If the above are an issue, an individual can cast a provisional ballot and provide the proof of citizenship (in person, via fax, email, or text message) before Friday.

You'll be slapping yourself in 20 years when the Russia stuff is declassified.

No he won't. Nobody who makes these kind of decisions out of spite ever feels regret. It's not in their makeup. He already blamed HRC for his voting anti-democrat again this time because it's always somebody else's fault (no matter what).

Why? Are you suggesting that its somehow stupid to ignore someone who claims something but says they cant show you any evidence because its classified?
