Georgia Gov Kemp signs multiple bills into law.

Georgia Governor Brian Kemp signed a law banning donations to county election offices, making it a felony for local governments to accept money from nonprofit organizations that gave millions of dollars during the 2020 presidential election. The move comes after the Center for Tech and Civic Life, funded by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, contributed more than $400 million to election offices nationwide during the first year of the coronavirus pandemic. Republicans in Georgia and across the country have made limiting outside election money a priority. Voting rights groups and Democrats said the ban will lead to underfunded elections and longer lines unless county governments spend more taxpayer money to accommodate high turnout.
