Georgia Republican Fran Millar considers more access to vote a 'loophole'

The decision by Dekalb County officials to allow people to vote on October 26 is stirring up controversy. For the first time in Georgia’s history voters can cast a ballot on a Sunday.
 
The votes will take place at South DeKalb Mall, a predominantly black and Democratic community.                    
             
"There are a lot of statewide candidates on the ballot from DeKalb County. So, one and one is still two. I think this is being done for partisan reasons," said Republican State Sen. Fran Millar, of Dunwoody.
 
He has spoken out against the move, calling it a loophole since no vote needed to be taken to add the extra voting day and location.
 
But it's the words that he used to speak out that has some claiming it's racially motivated.
 
"He considers it a loophole to give more access to people to vote. That is wrong," said Dubose Porter, chairman of the Democratic Party of Georgia.
 
"People were taking snippets from Facebook and posting them without responses, without the context," Millar said.
 
Millar rallied online and in a local paper against the potential for black megachurches to bus people to the polls.
 
He also said he would prefer a more educated voter.
 
"He alludes that African-American voters are less educated, Porter said. ”There is no way he can explain this in any good context."
