WaPo reported Corredtion: The headline on an Oct. 28 article incorrectly said that a Georgia law on voter identification was overturned. A federal appeals court upheld an injunction barring the state from enforcing the law, which requires many voters without government-issued identification such as a driver's license or passport to get a new digital ID card. A secondary headline said the state can no longer charge for access to the Nov. 8 election. The state never levied a charge for voting; it did charge $20 for five years to get the new digital ID.
Thank you for making that correction, but what you still did not indicate in the correction is that the $20 fee was waived for people that could not afford to pay for it. You buried that fact very deep in the article
