In response to Wednesday's rulings by both the Georgia Supreme Court and Judge Harold Murphy halting the enforcement of Georgia's voter photo I.D. law for next week's Primary Election, Senator Bill Stephens has vowed to pursue legislation creating a Constituional Amendment protecting the photo I.D. requirement once and for all in Georgia.

"The people of Georgia through their elected representatives have spoken overwhelmingly for photo identification at the polls. This concept is favored across party and racial lines," Stephens said. "Enough is enough. I hereby propose a Constitutional Amendment to clarify the photo I.D. requirement at the polls, and that this initiative be voted upon, first by the General Assembly, and then in the appropriate manner by the citizens of Georgia."

"Talk and litigation can go on forever. It's time for some common sense and courage. I will make the pursuit of a Constitutional Amendment my highest priority."
