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.

I got in hot water with a girl I was hooking up with for sharing my opinions on him and his frothing attitude.
And I say this as a relative liberal. Maher is as bad as the far right pundits and just as much a problem for the left's perception as some of those whackjobs like Beck, O'Reilly, etc were for the right.

Yup, he is a slimy asshole who pushes around his guests and plays the party politics game to decide right/wrong. I forget if it was him or one of his panels but someone gave a little dose of reality and the reply was "we hate Trump too, we're on the same side".
Ewwwww. I mean I get trump hate, but that type of party politics is what prevents real change from happening. Corporate interests buy enough politicians and the rest fall in with the party line.
All that said, I don't think he is actually as bad as Beck, O'Reilly, or Limbaugh. Like the rest of politics the "both sides" equivocation is bullshit. Democrats have plenty to be blamed for but they don't even come close to the Republican level of evil and that is mirrored with Maher / O'Reilly. Of course I haven't seen enough of Maher to know if he's reached the same levels of hate preaching, so just my opinion.
