The rule was backed by national groups allied with former President Donald Trump.

In a related note, some Georgia voters will be asked to recite the US Constitution verbatim, then guess the number of pennies in a two-gallon jar, to become eligible to vote.

Voters in Georgia are about to find out what the hell they have to lose...
