Busting the Left's myths about Georgia's voting law

They likely wished for a national stage to cement their straw-man attacks on Georgia's new voting law and set the stage for Congress to take the unprecedented step of rewriting every state's voting laws.

Democrats on the committee charged that Georgia's voting law is "Restrictive," yet it actually expands early voting, Jones pointed out.

The majority of counties will now offer more hours of voting than ever before.

Georgia offers more early voting options than liberal states such as Delaware and New York.

The Left is so willing to fling baseless allegations of racism and voter suppression for one reason: Laws such as Georgia's are too popular and too reasonable to debate on the merits.

She bizarrely asserted that Georgia's new ID law puts voters at risk of identity theft, a baseless claim that risks scaring voters away from casting absentee ballots.

The Left claims to speak for minority voters, but it ignores the huge majorities that favor policies such as voter ID. Democrats claim to defend the legacy of the civil rights movement while callously trading on the sacrifices of men and women who brought down the real Jim Crow to score cheap partisan victories.
