One of the most controversial elements of the bill initially proposed by Republicans was the elimination of Sunday early voting.
Sunday voting is especially important for black worshippers in Georgia - a strongly Democratic voting bloc - with church goers often encouraged to vote after Sunday services, with initiatives known as "souls to the polls".

Democrat Senate Majority Leader, Chuck Schumer, said: "Republicans recently passed a bill to eliminate early voting on Sunday."
But this element of the bill wasn't passed, and Republicans backtracked following criticism.
The final bill allows two days of early Sunday voting, which is now formally signed into law. An additional day of mandatory Saturday early voting has also been added.
There BNI, you happy? Blacks can still vote on Sunday in GA. Stop whining.
