President Joe Biden is so committed to bipartisan cooperation and fact-based governance that he’s launched an ignorant and incendiary attack on the new Georgia voting law.
Biden says the new law is “Jim Crow in the 21st century” and “an un-American law to deny people the right to vote.”
It’s now practically mandatory for Democrats to launch such unhinged broadsides. Elizabeth Warren, accusing Georgia governor Brian Kemp of having stolen his 2018 election victory over Democratic activist Stacey Abrams (a poisonous myth), tweeted, “The Republican who is sitting in Stacey Abrams’ chair just signed a despicable voter suppression bill into law to take Georgia back to Jim Crow.”
Anyone making this charge in good faith either doesn’t understand the hideousness of Jim Crow or the provisions of the Georgia law.
The old Jim Crow was billy clubs and fire hoses; the alleged new Jim Crow is asking people to write a driver’s license number on their absentee-ballot envelopes.
The old Jim Crow was poll taxes; the new Jim Crow is expanding weekend voting.
The old Jim Crow was disenfranchising voters en masse based on their race; the new Jim Crow is limiting ballot drop boxes to places they can’t be tampered with.
It’s hard to believe that one real voter is going to be kept from voting by the new rules.
To better ensure the security, the law requires that voters provide a driver’s license or state ID number to apply for a ballot and one of those numbers (or the last four digits of a Social Security number) when returning the ballot.
The law narrows the window for requesting absentee ballots, although still allows plenty of time. A voter can request a ballot as early as eleven weeks prior to an election or as late as eleven days prior (any later date risks the completed ballot not getting delivered in time).
Ballot drop boxes were a pandemic-era innovation in Georgia. The law keeps them, while limiting their location to early voting sites.
After getting blowback over proposed limits on weekend early voting when black churches run their “Souls to the Polls” events, Georgia lawmakers expanded the potential for weekend voting.
The law gives the State Election Board more authority to take over local election operations, but there’s no doubt that election officials in Fulton County, where metro Atlanta is located and long lines at the polls are common, have been incompetent.
Perhaps most controversially, it bans people from distributing food or drink to voters standing in line, an effort to keep partisans from trying to sway voters near polling places. But poll workers can provide food and drink for general use.
The deeper point is that in the contemporary United States, with such wide and ready access to the ballot, changes around the edges don’t disenfranchise people.
Georgia considered limiting no-excuse absentee voting to voters 65 and over. Even this wouldn’t have dissuaded anyone from voting. A study published by the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research found that turnout increased in 2020 just as much in states without no-excuse absentee voting as in states with it.
Strict voter-ID laws have long been denounced as voter suppression. It’s not true. According to a 2019 working paper for the National Bureau of Economic Research, “strict ID laws have no significant negative effect on registration or turnout, overall or for any subgroup.”
And Democrats issued dire warnings about the effects of the Supreme Court in 2013 ending so-called preclearance that required federal approval of changes in the rules in certain jurisdictions.
This, too, was wrong. A paper by a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Oregon concludes, “The removal of preclearance requirements did not significantly reduce the relative turnout of eligible black voters.”
None of the facts, though, can possibly overcome the attachment that Biden and other Democrats have to their emotionally resonant and politically powerful Jim Crow smear.
This has absolutely nothing to do with voter suppression it’s the same old tactic used to divide America by this Totalitarian Regime with unchecked open borders allowing the abusive treatment happening to children. V.P. Harris made the comment we all need to make sacrifices for the good of the nation really how much sacrifice is being made by democrats seems it’s always conservatives making or being forced against our will for those harmful sacrifices! This fraudulent administration is sadly in your face what are you going to do about it destroying our country to achieve obamas horrific fundamental transformation…..God Bless the United States of America
It’s very clear that our senile president never read the Georgia voting law. The puppet speaks through the master, who doesn’t care what is the truth.
Sounds like Elizabeth Warren is trying to incite an insurrection by accusing an elected official of being fraudulently elected. I say she should be impeached and sued for these false accusations
If someone is too ignorant to have an ID to vote but has no problem signing up for all types of taxpayer welfare, why should they be allowed to vote?
Like it or not, all countries are businesses. Any business is doomed to failure if their board of directors (voters) aren’t capable of good decisions.
Voting on whoever promises you the most free stuff is a conflict of interest!
If there is a conflict of interest, they shouldn’t be allowed to cancel out intelligent votes!
Voter suppression is just a left wing conspiracy theory that leftist keep touting cuz it keeps their sheep in line! Victimology is the only way to keep the sheep constantly voting to keep these leftist elite in power! I’ve heard the left is real upset cuz the statistics are showing more and more minority voters are waking up to these leftist games and are leaving the sheep farm! 2022 should be interesting!
What’s so funny about Jim Crow Laws is that they were envisioned, written, and enforced by DEMOCRATS, in the first place! But, IMHO, I sincerely doubt that anything will make any difference to anybody, anymore, especially now that the Democrats have used a very successful ploy, giving them the upper hand! And, they can manipulate it for all eternity! I fear there will never be another fair and impartial election in this country, ever, even for Dog Catcher…
They want an easy high way to victory. Just like they did in 2020 change the rules and tell everybody this is for your best interest. When the Georgia governor enacted this law to make sure there would be less voter fraud, this made the state of Georgia fair for both sides. The Democrats hate the thought of a fair election. So what do they do throw the race card? The time has come to cancel the left and their lies of racism. They have used this tactic for decades even when some of their members of congress belonged to the Ku Klux klan. We have to stand up for all Americans Blacks, Hispanics, American Indians, Asians, and yes Whites. We have been put on earth for a reason. If the government was not involved we would not have the problems we face today. All the left and the right care about is power more power money and control. Keep your eyes open don’t believe anything you see or hear till you research the message yourself. Have a Blessed day.
So was reading history of the Jim Crow laws that started in the south after reconstruction ended and spread across the country North, East and West not just the South and was made into LAW in all the states by what political party Drum Roll Please “THE DEMOCRAT PARTY” however they don’t and won’t Claim that FACT will they?
Voter-Suppression is one of the most miss understood and overused terms. Many are not properly registered, moved and did not update their registration, there are proper checks and balances available, even DMV upon renewing you drivers license can update your voter registration. I am a believer that just like your drivers licenses and many other similar, voter registration needs to be renewed periodically.
Surprise,surprise, all the anti American socialist democrats do is lie,cheat and steal!
I don’t hear or see ANY biden/harris voters talking now,even they get queasy about these 2 frauds!
The “NEW” Law is actually the OLD Law. Security and oversight, what every election SHOULD have! The Dems KNOW they can NOT win elections fairly, and they will do whatever it takes to cheat successfully.
Everything the liberals do is anti-American; they help no one. Biden and his vice president are awful. When biden steps aside, look what the American people get. Things just don’t get better!
No one is being kept from voting with these measures, no one. Biden is using race, again, to divide us.
I just saw a documentary the other day on NHK World News about immigration laws in Japan. It stated that Japan’s policies on immigration are the strictest in the world. It could take as long as 20+ years to become a Japanese citizen and those waiting are not given any benefits, no health care, no Social Security, they can’t work (if they do work it’s off the books), and any children born to immigrate parents are not automatically Japanese citizens!!! Seems like the US should take a page out of their book!
They’ve gotta use all the “buzzwords” that the MSM will gladly trumpet for maximum effect! The problem is that too many people will lap them up without any investigation.
I feel the Left-wing Democrats are making un-American proposals at every turn. The Conservative Americans have got to band together and stop this –> NOW!
Why was my access to this website removed? I have been a member for years and was unable to comment anymore, I had to sign up again with a different name on my posts, when do we stop letting these criminals get away with thier crimes?
Joe Biden is the most idiotic individual ever to occupy the oval office!
Senile Joe’s handlers put more hate in his mouth! Which party ran Jim Crow, slavery, and the KKK?
It sure wasn’t the GOP!!! Notice DIMMs always project THEIR sins onto others!
We have heard more than enough of the voter suppression falsehood.
The law they are opposed to, is a law that confirms that Americans who are born here and Americans who have became
Citizens legally. Not the people who are illegally. I support the law and I pray it becomes law in the whole United States of America.
The Communists – er, I mean the Democrats – have a long history of fighting any and every effort to protect election integrity because they know the only way they can “win” elections is through fraud and cheating.
Regardless of the laws, the left will always figure out a way to cheat and win. Sad, sad state of our country is in and heading for.
Just like Floyd this country is losing
The DemOhKrats will resist and lie and protest and even riot
Against any attempt to secure and clean up the election process
Any means to get their power grabbing ends.
It’s their way of winning.
Bendover Biden is such a despicable example of a human being and a huge embarrassment to our country….
N
Dems are afraid if voter ID is in they won’t get their ‘dead’ and ‘illegal’ votes anymore. Voter ID is not racist. I bought a bottle of wine yesterday and was asked for my ID and I’m 81 years old…and she had to scan it…was a requirement on register.
Yet another article related to the lies coming from both Biden and Democrats in Washington in general. Yes, they do indeed lie. We know it, because most of us know history and the facts and where the Democrats have positioned themselves all along the way.
The issue isn’t whether Biden or some other Democrats, once again, lied in order to sell their “solutions” to the American people, but what, if anything, we collectively intend to do about it. That’s the bottom line. Everything else is just daily noise from the left. The clock is ticking and you cannot procrastinate forever, because at some point in the near future your option to act will expire.
It doesn’t matter that you need an ID to buy liquor, purchase a gun, get a job, cash a check, get on an airplane, etc., but it’s amazing that Democrats can say that providing an ID to vote, is suddenly voter suppression. Honestly I’ve come to believe that party is the scourge of the earth. Everything they do is anti-American, and hateful.
There are at least 2 things Joe has never been skilled at…telling the truth, and following the law. In fact, he could be called a “truth denier,” just like he has become a “science denier.” But none of these dems have enough sense to realize…the law and the truth always come back to bite them in the butt. The skeletons ALWAYS come out of the closet!!
These new voter laws sound pretty fair to me. As for the Liberals and far Left they have all lost their minds in their lust for power. Between this nonsense, the border crisis and another 3 Trillion in spending that we cant really afford at the moment they are pushing the country to the brink of bankruptcy or even worse. I’m not a big fan of any political party but I never thought I would see the day that a political party would put someone in office who appears to be losing his faculties and through people behind the scenes pretty much send the country on what appears to be a socialist agenda and one party rule. This is not how a democratic republic is supposed to work. I’ll venture to say the Founding Fathers have to be rolling over in their graves..
I am so fed up with these disgusting, hideous democrats and their utter nonsense.
They are literally, getting away with murdering our elderly, brainwashing our kids, and destroying our immigration policies.
Enough already!
It is the misguided and furtive efforts like this that will have biden sour with many of the useful tools that voted for him. He and his veep may take two terms, but congress will come under new management as long as they follow the fatuous desires of this superannuated child of obama.
Whatever biden does it is for the benefit of the take-over of communism ! Dems are true enemies of America in everything they do .
More lies from our senile president. What do you expect.
I’d love to see the demoncrats implode. They are a cancer in this Country.
If you still want to live in this country then you had best be armed at all times and be aware of your surroundings. That is IF you want to stay. If you do NOT own a firearm now, it is almost impossible to buy one or get ammo for it. Most people realise that the Biden govt. will not protect us. FBI and ATF are corrupt to the hilt. When seconds count the police are only minutes away. Ask any woman who has gotten a restraining order that went bad.

When are we going to quit listening to the idiocy and lunacy and just do what we know is right. Expect conflict because evil will never be in agreement with good.
The ONLY VOTER SUPPRESSION is AGAINST ILLEGALS & NON REGISTERED from STEALING VOTES from CITIZENS!!! … Isn’t it amazing how stupid so many people are? The only suppression should be against stupid people from birthing!
Do your research. Biden is dead. When he was alive he had an ear piece and it was Obama telling him what to do. And someone else telling Obama what to do. And Hilary is dead also. Her last words were “he thought he won”.
Never mail out voting ballots to everyone and anyone, so un-American. But the only way the democrats can hold onto POWER. So corrupt and sneaky; just like biden and harris…
That’s what the Dims do cheat, steal and lie repeating the lie over & over for the ignorant masses. China Joe is the number one liar, scripted by the communist left!
There’s no fool like an old fool!
I pray the American people are smart enough not to believe thus garbage being spewed out by Biden, his ilk AND the mainstrem media who has been complicit in the lies all along!
No joe it’s to protect us from any more Corrupt and Rigged elections from happening like the last one and every state needs to pass this same law. These democrats just flat out reek of Socialist Corruption.
This is how he earned on the his many nick name ( lying Biden) in fact the last time a Democrat told the truth, was in 1963. (President Kennedy) Lyndon Brain Dead Johnson started them on the path to lying and have not stopped since. That’s why I left the Demonrats
in the late 60s, I could not belong to a party that could not tell the truth to the American people, there is not a bit of truth to anything they say. Look throughout history they have protected enslaving people to do their dirty work and now they have created the new plantations, the enter Cities, where they raise a crop of new voters, the poor Minorities and poor Whites, and they call Republicans racist. Your property, your life and your liberty are at risk as long as the Democrats hold power. There is no such thing as a moderate Democrat,
Joe Manchin in W. Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema in Arizona will vote right along with the rest of the, only they will be more under handed about it. The Demonrats will do what ever it takes to destroy America.
God Save Us From This Hell We Are About To Face !!!!
I don’t know what happened to the requirement that legal American Citizens must know English, but we should NEVER have started printing ballots in anything other than ENGLISH! The greedy desire to get any votes to retain power, even illegal or foreign enemy, has made a joke out of our free democracy. The world is laughing at us now and our enemies know we have a weak and pathetic leader in the White House with a giggling extremist as a VP. Our allies must all be shaking their heads that our U.S. Supreme Court was so cowed as to allow our election to be so obviously riddled with fraud they permitted the outcome to stand as “honest.” Our Forefathers are turning in their graves at what they themselves forfeited to establish this nation and how mousy we have acted as it is being taken away from us. We need vaccines of COURAGE AND PATRIOTISM, not flu shots!!!
Poor Mr. Potato Head. “Biden says the new law is “Jim Crow in the 21st century” and “an un-American law to deny people the right to vote.” But he is right. However, it is fully American! Proper voting laws should prevent the dead, the criminal, and the foreigner from participating in the job assigned to the citizen!
