Georgia Election: Republicans Right on Election Integrity

Weeks before the Georgia legislature had settled on election-integrity legislation, the baseless allegations of “voter suppression” were already being trotted out. Whatever bill Georgia passed, Stacey Abrams and her allies had already made clear that they’d call it Jim Crow 2.0. More early-voting days? Jim Crow 2.0. Provisions to cut voting lines down? Jim Crow 2.0. Codifying Sunday voting into law? Jim Crow 2.0.

President Biden took it a step further, saying Georgia’s election law made “Jim Crow look like Jim Eagle” (whatever that means), and pushing objectively false claims about the law in a successful effort to get the MLB All-Star Game moved out of Atlanta. Lies and disinformation from Abrams and Biden ultimately cost Georgia small businesses an estimated $100 million.
