Georgia state Rep. Barry Fleming has resigned from his role as county attorney after being pressured to quit over his support for an election integrity bill.

Fleming, a Republican, sponsored House Bill 531, which passed the House along party lines last week. The bill, which awaits Senate action, curbs the use of drop boxes, changes early voting hours, limits no-excuse absentee voting, and requires ID for absentee voting.
