Georgia lawmakers may not provide enough votes to authorize sports betting

On Thursday, the House Higher Education Committee approved legislation authorizing legal sports betting in Georgia as well as a proposed amendment to the state constitution.

However, a prominent Democrat stated that his party is still in favor of altering the allocation of state sports betting taxes. A constitutional amendment cannot receive the two-thirds majority required to pass both the House and the Senate without Democratic support. Furthermore, Republicans are hardly united.
