What's that voting bill actually say?

I confess, I haven't read the entire bill, and there are some distressing bills out there, but the Georgia bill is getting a lot of heat, without much light shed on it.  Here it actually is:

Georgia Voting Bill.

Much of this bill really isn't as horrific as portrayed.  It pretty much just regularizes practices just informally put into practice last election in Georgia.  It does have a couple of bad provisions, including that its 95 pages in length.  The no water aid in line, which may or may not still be in there (this thing is way to long to fully read) is horrific, but apparently was in it in order to try to stop electioneering at the polls.

By the same token, while I want to be suspicious of the new Wyoming bill because of the times, I can't really find anything objectionable to having to present a photo ID when you vote and I'm really sort of surprised that this isn't the law already.  I do find the provision that a Medicaid Card will work to be laughably Boomer patronizing. . . that's not a photo ID.  But overall, asking for a photo ID at the polls, while probably not really necessary, isn't really burdensome either.

Indeed, by and large the Wyoming legislature did a good job of defeating the really bad bills this session.  The really absurd bill that sought to give the legislature veto power over interpretation of the Constitution, which was flagrantly unconstitutional, didn't make it out of committee, even though it had the backing of most of the county GOP committees.  The horrific bill to limit juries to six, rather than twelve, which was snuck in and supported by the plaintiff's bar made it past the House and died in the Senate.  The WICHE bill did pass, but the Governor caught the foul ball on that one.

Things aren't over yet and there are still some bills out there that I have no idea as to their status, and no doubt some I've never heard of.  Most of the gun rights bills this session were wholly unnecessary or unconstitutional, but I don't know where they are at.  The bill allowing out of states to carry concealed without a permit did pass and I'm not for that and don't think it a good idea as I think Wyomingites deserve some level of control, such a reciprocal permit, on people we don't know traveling through here.  I'm probably in the minority on that one.  The one hunting bill I was tracking failed, which was too bad.

Anyhow, there's all sorts of yelling on various bills around the country, and in Congress, but do people read them?  Probably not.  Probably most people don't have the time.  But the reporting on them lacks nuance and can create misimpressions.
