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're making an assumption there.
In order to tease you, I won't say what it is.
Can you say what the assumption is? :-)

What? There's no election today in America. Trump is a Nazi, and Nazis don't do the election thing.
Now wait patiently by your door for the
FBIGestapo to collect you for transportation to your death camp. I'm sure the Nazis will get to you very soon; after all every other person in the US is a Nazi.(singing) I'm a Nazi, he's a Nazi, she's a Nazi, we're all Nazis -- wouldn't you like to be a Nazi, too?
