Biden and progressives are the ones promoting voter suppression in Georgia

Voter suppression is the topic of the day in Georgia after the state passed a new voting law. And there is a group of people supporting voter suppression in Georgia: It’s President Joe Biden and the left-wing activists demanding boycotts of the state.

According to a Washington Post fact check of Biden’s claims about the law, “experts say the net effect was to expand the opportunities to vote for most Georgians, not limit them.” The changes added an additional mandatory Saturday of early voting, permits counties to hold early voting on Sundays, and gives them the option of setting longer voting hours.

There are only two major “restrictions” in Georgia’s new law. The first is shortening the period to request mail-in ballots from nearly 26 weeks before the election, i.e., half a year, to 11 weeks, a perfectly reasonable reform. The other is the requirement of voter ID for mail-in ballots, which matches what is already needed to vote in person and replaces the more corruptible process of signature verification.

So Georgia’s new voting law will increase the time available for early voting for most of the state’s residents and imposes reasonable limits on mail-in voting. Georgia even offers a free state ID that can be used specifically to fill the voter ID requirement. From nearly any angle, Georgia’s new law makes voting easier, not more difficult, while also making it more secure.

Democrats have cried wolf one too many times. It's one thing to exaggerate, but to manufacture from whole cloth is an entirely different animal.

Stacy Abrams is a useful idiot. Who's financing her perpetual news conferences and appearances? Does she have a job?

You must have missed it. Republicans have been open about the fact that when more people vote, it works against them. What's the count now of bills introduced around the country to suppress the vote? I think it's at least 250, all by republicans. Strange. And more strange, little if any evidence of voter fraud. Republicans have read the demographic writing on the wall. But don't despair. If they offer policies that appeal to minorities, new immigrant citizens, and working people, they can win without suppressing the vote. Speaking of Stacy Abrams, watch the film "All In." Nothing has changed since post reconstruction. Democrats suppressed the vote then. Now it's republicans, for the same reasons.

Lol, the classic accuse the other guys of the thing you're doing as a distraction. Not going to work, Republicans. When a lot of people vote, Republicans lose, and that's the motivation.

Have the GOP ever been able to prove any voter fraud, like, even once? lol

They just announced last night that Texas found 16 cases and is moving forward with prosecution. No mention of what party affiliation any of them were. I believe that puts their percentage at .00004%. And if half were republicans cheating, that would make it .00002% for dems.
