The introduction of  early voting clearly had a significant impact on turnout - especially in terms of the disproportionately large increase in minority participation in 2010 (as well as 2008) mentioned in the article.   The increase in turnout among minorities and others in Georgia has flowed from the full package rather than from the Voter ID law provision of the law standing alone.  The Georgia experience with turnout has no relevance to other states.
