Felder Williams Disfranchisement Bill Passes House
The Felder Williams disfranchisement bill passed the Georgia House by a 153 to 16 vote with one abstention. The measure, amended by Dunbar and Wise, removes time limits from the good conduct clause and would require voter approval at the next general election to become law. The session proceeded with speed as defenders argued for swift passage while opponents warned of registrar power and racial implications. The bill now goes to the Senate for concurrence before the governor’s signature.
