A pair of Gwinnett County legislators are among a group of four Democrats who filed legislation Tuesday to set hand marked ballots as the main way to vote in elections in Georgia.
State Reps. Sam Park, D-Lawrenceville, and Jasmine Clark, D-Lilburn, joined Reps. Scott Holcomb, D-Atlanta, and Shea Roberts, D-Atlanta, in filing the “Restore Confidence in Elections Act.” The legislation comes as Georgia prepares to hold its presidential preference primary next month, as well as the general election primary in may and the general election, where the highly contested presidential election will top the ticket, in November.
