Georgia’s new voting laws were so restrictive that Major League Baseball moved the All-Star Game to Denver in protest. President Joe Biden called it “Jim Crow 2.0,” “Jim Crow on steroids,” and “Jim Eagle.” Hollywood studios threatened to move their productions out of Georgia, where they enjoy a nice tax credit. Voters were expected to wait in line without food or water provided by representatives of the campaigns — that, or bring their own water.
We haven’t heard of anyone dying of dehydration while waiting in line for early voting in Georgia, which is already underway and breaking records. From 15 minutes ago:
More than 1 million Georgians have voted early, a dramatic increase from the last midterm election in 2018 and nearly on pace with the 2020 presidential election, @mrbrownsir @lennybronner report. https://t.co/h9wXikkxq7

Huh.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Tuesday decided it was time to go back to the well and announce that access to voting was “being attacked.” Well, what about Georgia?
. @PressSec: "Access to voting is being attacked."
REPORTER: "But doesn't the record turnout show that Georgia voters are finding ways to vote?"
PRESS SEC: "I will not get into specifics about what Georgia voters are doing." pic.twitter.com/p0A1XEy5Vs

“High turnout is basically evidence of voter suppression” 🥴

Voted today in #Georgia 15 minutes max. Very friendly & efficient poll workers. No suppression.

Such lies! I lived here in Georgia for 21 years. It’s NEVER been an issue to go to your assigned polling place, show your driver’s license and Vote! Depending on the line it takes 20-30 minutes.

God she's terrible. Everything she does is cringe.

How will they know if there was voter suppression in Georgia before Brian Kemp wins? Because if Stacey Abrams were to win, it would have been the cleanest election ever.
