No, the Georgia Election Reform IS NOT Racist

What is the point of the Georgia law?
No, they simply made some reforms to fix some of the vulnerabilities in the system.
And probably the best example is that, look, Georgia's had a voter ID law in place since the 2008 presidential election for in-person voting.
You're required to show a government-issued photo ID, and if you don't have one, the state will give you a free ID. Like I said, the law has been in place for more than a decade.
Not only have they had no problems with it, turnout in the state, they've had record registration and record turnout, including of minority voters.
So what did they do in the election reform bill?
They simply extended the voter ID requirement to absentee ballots.
And you can take care of this by providing a photocopy of the same kind of ID, or if you have a...
A Georgia driver's license or voter ID card.
You can fill in the serial number.
And if you don't have any of that, you can simply provide it with a photocopy of a utility bill, bank statement, paycheck, or other government document with your name and address on it.
It's just not a problem to meet this requirement.
Other states...
I've had laws like this in place for a couple of years, Alabama being one, Wisconsin another, that have an ID requirement that applies to both in-person and absentee ballot.
They've had no problems.
There's no evidence that a single person anywhere was unable to vote because of that requirement.
That is Joe Biden's version of Jim Crow, supposedly.
Do you know, I'm saying this to my listeners, Do you, my listeners, know that they never give an example?
Joe Biden did not give an example.
They never do.
They charge conservatives and Republicans with horrible things, but never give an example of it.
No, that's right.
Okay, go on.
Go on.
Well, and I was going to say, look, the...
Georgia actually has looser voting rules than the state of Delaware, where Joe Biden is from.
And this is true throughout of all the provisions they have in this state.
I mean, Georgia, for example, has 17 days of early voting.
Delaware doesn't have any early voting.
And yet the changes, they made some changes in that, and the Justice Department has sued them, claiming it's...
Somehow discriminatory.
I'll tell you.
The Department of Justice under Merrick Garland filed a lawsuit against Georgia over its election reform bill.
It also is an absurd lawsuit.
I've read through it.
Hold on.
I want to hear about that.
Merrick Garland, you know, supposedly the moderate, watches a video Hans Vodkowski's at PragerU.
