ATLANTA--Georgia Speaker of the House Glenn Richardson (R-Hiram) today issued the following statement on the latest ruling concerning Georgia's voter id law. "Yet again, an activist judge is thwarting the will of a majority of Georgia citizens and their elected officials," Richardson said. "I cannot say it more simply: only current legal residents of Georgia should be voting in Georgia elections. The right to vote is precious and the people of Georgia have made it clear that they want that right protected."
