Georgia's record voting turnout exposes Biden's disgraceful 'Jim Crow 2.0' lie - New York Post

Well, well, well: Georgia voters are setting records for turnout nether the instrumentality that President Joe Biden repeatedly denounced arsenic “Jim Crow 2.0,” decently known arsenic the 2021 Election Integrity Act.

Monday, the Peach State’s archetypal time of aboriginal voting, saw much than 131,000 ballots cast, an all-time grounds and astir treble the fig for the archetypal midterm voting time successful 2018. By Wednesday, it was up to 434,546 betwixt absentee and aboriginal in-person votes, with the second tally soaring 76% implicit 2018.

Oh, and the authorities also saw grounds turnout successful this year’s primaries. How astir that?

Democrats led by the prez had claimed laws similar Georgia’s, passed successful the aftermath of dramatically loosened rules for the 2020 pandemic election, aimed purely to disenfranchise minorities: “Jim Crow 2.0 is astir . . . elector suppression and predetermination subversion,” Biden puffed successful January.

Biden said the Georgia GOP was “limiting the fig of dropboxes and the hours you tin usage them.” Yet the authorities had no dropboxes earlier 2020, and the caller instrumentality made them permanent. It besides expanded early-voting hours.

“Jim Crow 2.0” was a full lie, arsenic anyone who examined the instrumentality could tell. Too atrocious that didn’t see the large corporations that began boycotting the state. Major League Baseball pulled the 2021 All-Star Game from Atlanta’s Truist Park — astatine important outgo to the city’s mostly black workers — with the crippled ending up successful Colorado, which has more restrictive voting laws. 

The smear successful information was chiefly a bid to gin up enactment for legislation to federalize predetermination instrumentality on lines Democrats deliberation would payment them.

Sadly, Georgia’s refusal to crook didn’t deter Biden & Co. from lying. Soon capable the federation would perceive that his American Rescue Plan Act would person the system booming, that “his” vaccination programme would extremity the COVID menace by July 4, 2021, that the Afghanistan bugout was “an bonzer success” and that soaring ostentation was conscionable “transitory.” Oh, the border’s “under control,” too.

It’s a bittersweet and unsafe authorities of affairs erstwhile Americans person to presume that the information is the other of immoderate the president says. If Biden wants to alteration that, helium tin commencement by apologizing to Georgia.
