Federal judges have ordered Georgia elections officials to stop using Social Security numbers and driver's licenses to check voters' immigration status until the U.S. Justice Department decides whether to approve the process.
Georgia is one of several states that needs federal approval before changing election policy because of a history of discriminatory voting practices.
The three-judge panel's 27-page ruling Monday orders Georgia officials to make "diligent and immediate" efforts to notify voters who have been flagged as ineligible.
It also blocks the state from removing flagged names from voter lists unless voters say in writing that they are ineligible.
Good!
