=== Voter ID Reforms Explained (02:24) ===

[00:00:00]  What is the point of the Georgia law?
[00:00:03]  No, they simply made some reforms to fix some of the vulnerabilities in the system.
[00:00:10]  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.
[00:00:20]  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.
[00:00:30]  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.
[00:00:40]  So what did they do in the election reform bill?
[00:00:42]  They simply extended the voter ID requirement to absentee ballots.
[00:00:49]  And you can take care of this by providing a photocopy of the same kind of ID, or if you have a...
[00:00:55]  A Georgia driver's license or voter ID card.
[00:00:58]  You can fill in the serial number.
[00:01:01]  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.
[00:01:13]  It's just not a problem to meet this requirement.
[00:01:17]  Other states...
[00:01:18]  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.
[00:01:30]  They've had no problems.
[00:01:32]  There's no evidence that a single person anywhere was unable to vote because of that requirement.
[00:01:38]  That is Joe Biden's version of Jim Crow, supposedly.
[00:01:43]  Do you know, I'm saying this to my listeners, Do you, my listeners, know that they never give an example?
[00:01:52]  Joe Biden did not give an example.
[00:01:54]  They never do.
[00:01:55]  They charge conservatives and Republicans with horrible things, but never give an example of it.
[00:02:04]  No, that's right.
[00:02:05]  Okay, go on.
[00:02:06]  Go on.
[00:02:07]  Well, and I was going to say, look, the...

=== 17 Days of Early Voting (00:51) ===

[00:02:09]  Georgia actually has looser voting rules than the state of Delaware, where Joe Biden is from.
[00:02:17]  And this is true throughout of all the provisions they have in this state.
[00:02:24]  I mean, Georgia, for example, has 17 days of early voting.
[00:02:29]  Delaware doesn't have any early voting.
[00:02:31]  And yet the changes, they made some changes in that, and the Justice Department has sued them, claiming it's...
[00:02:38]  Somehow discriminatory.
[00:02:39]  I'll tell you.
[00:02:41]  The Department of Justice under Merrick Garland filed a lawsuit against Georgia over its election reform bill.
[00:02:47]  It also is an absurd lawsuit.
[00:02:50]  I've read through it.
[00:02:51]  Hold on.
[00:02:51]  I want to hear about that.
[00:02:53]  Merrick Garland, you know, supposedly the moderate, watches a video Hans Vodkowski's at PragerU.
