License plate re-vote under way

Motorists wanting a second chance at picking a new state license plate can now vote again.

The Georgia Department of Revenue on Monday reopened voting for the next state tag after miscommunication over "In God We Trust" scuttled the original contest.

Several proposed designs featured the phrase where a county name normally would appear, leading many to believe that the tag could feature the phrase by default. Instead, the designs were simply showing what the plate would look like with an optional sticker already available.

But the snafu was significant enough that Revenue Commissioner Doug MacGinnitie and Gov. Nathan Deal decided to re-do the vote. Cast your ballot at: https://etax.dor.ga.gov/TagContest.aspx
