Friday Executive News Summary

Election reform in Georgia, Hunter Biden’s gun problem, “bump stock” ruling, and more.

Top of the Fold

  • Georgia governor signs sweeping, though imperfect, election reform bill (Business Insider)

“The bill did not eliminate no-excuse absentee voting, unlike another election omnibus bill presented this session … would have done. But it does modify requirements for absentee voting. The bill requires voters to provide an identifying number from a government-issued ID, such as the number on their drivers’ license or state ID card, to apply for an absentee ballot, and include one of those numbers, or the last four digits of their Social Security number, on their ballot envelope for their ballot to be accepted. … The bill also shortens the window for voters to request absentee ballots, moving the deadline to request a ballot from four to 11 days before an election.”
