The Washington Post's Glenn Kessler gives Biden four Pinocchios over his statements about Georgia's new voting reforms, highlighting two specific lies Biden issued over two days.
"Among the outrageous parts of this new state law, it ends voting hours early so working people can't cast their vote after their shift is over."
One of the biggest changes in the bill would expand early voting access for most counties, adding an additional mandatory Saturday and formally codifying Sunday voting hours as optional.
Counties can have early voting open as long as 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., or 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at minimum.
Mail-in absentee voting will look the most different for voters, especially after 1.3 million people used that method in the November general election.
A law signed in 2019 will permit early voting starting in 2022.
Not a single expert we consulted who has studied the law understood why Biden made this claim, as this was the section of law that expanded early voting for many Georgians.
