Remember when Georgia passed a voter law last year that made the state’s elections more secure and accessible? MLB baseball pulled the All-Star game from Georgia and the left staged a collective freak-out that it was wholesale voter suppression. Even Joe Biden called the law “Jim Crow on steroids.” Welp, they just had an election and voter turn out was the highest it’s ever been in the state. Once again, the left is full of shit.
This was Joe Biden after Georgia passed an election law that actually expanded voting places, days, and times:
“It’s just not right. This is Jim Crow on steroids what they’re doing in Georgia,” said Biden.
Jim Crow laws, instituted by democrats, segregated black people and imposed impossible restrictions on voting, so if Georgia’s law is like that “on steroids” it must mean that it’s impossible for black people to vote.
And yet WSB-TV in Atlanta reports:
More Georgians went to the polls during the 2022 primary elections early voting period than ever before, according to the Secretary of State’s Office.
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger announced over the weekend that the three-week voting period saw voters show up in record numbers.
In total, 857,401 Georgians cast their ballots ahead of election day. Nearly 93% of those ballots were cast in person. The remaining 7% were cast absentee.
The Secretary of State’s office says these numbers show a 168% increase in early voting turnout from the last gubernatorial primary in 2018 and 212% increase from the last presidential primary in 2020.
Gee, that doesn’t sound like Jim Crow on steroids and, in fact, it’s freedom to vote on steroids. For the record, Georgia’s election law is much less restrictive than the voting laws in Delaware, Joe Biden’s home state.
Just for fun, here’s The Washington Post with a shot and chaser:
Georgia’s new voting law signed by Gov. Brian Kemp (R) on March 25 imposes a number of restrictions on voting in the state, earning it comparisons to the Jim Crow laws that effectively blocked Black men and women from voting in the American South. https://t.co/I6ljxUFKJ7

After three weeks of early voting ahead of Tuesday’s primary, record-breaking turnout is undercutting predictions that the Georgia Election Integrity Act of 2021 would lead to a falloff in voting. https://t.co/tChHHLQ6GJ

I know, I’m as shocked as you. How could Joe Biden and the liberal media be this wrong about something?
Actually, that has an answer. They knew there was nothing suppressive about Georgia’s voting law but what it does do is make it harder for democrats to steal elections. That’s what the freak-out and the lies were about. Democrats used holes in Georgia’s election security to steal the state for Biden and both Senate seats and now those holes are patched.
The last thing democrats want is a free and fair election because they have to try to win on their ideas, which are shit. And what that means is that democrats claim any election that can’t be rigged in their favor is “Jim Crow on steroids.”
