Tyler Perry slams Georgia voter legislation as 'unconstitutional,' calls on DOJ to investigate

Tyler Perry spoke out against Georgia's new voting legislation calling it "unconstitutional."

The bill standardizes voting hours in the state from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. or as long as 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. It also puts in place a state-issued ID requirement to request an absentee ballot while limiting the number of drop boxes in the state, requiring them to be placed at early voting locations and only available while the precinct is open. It also makes handing out food and water to voters waiting in line at the polls a crime and shortens runoff elections from 9 weeks to 4 weeks. "As a Georgia resident and business owner I’ve been here a few times with the anti-abortion bill and the LGBTQ discrimination bill," Perry said in his statement to the outlet. "They all sent a shockwave through Georgia and the nation but none of them managed to succeed."
