During a House subcommittee hearing on "American Confidence in Elections," Republicans demolished Democrats' phony narratives regarding nonexistent "Voter suppression."
"In 2016, the presidential election was marred by allegations of Russian hacking. And while evidence showed that the hacking was of email servers, by December of 2016, half of Democrat voters believed that Russians had changed vote tallies in favor of Donald Trump. That number would skyrocket to 67 percent after a media barrage and many prominent leaders call[ed] the presidency of Donald Trump 'illegitimate.'".
A November 2018 Economist/YouGov poll found this to be the case, showing that 67 percent of Democrats believed it was "Definitely true" or "Probably true" that "Russia tampered with vote tallies in order to get Donald Trump elected." Meanwhile, only 17 percent of Republicans and 41 percent of Independents believed such a statement to have any semblance of accuracy, according to the survey.
During his testimony, Turner also highlighted former Georgia Democrat gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams' repeated insistence that her 2018 election against now-Republican Gov. Brian Kemp was illegitimate due to nonexistent voter suppression.
Turner additionally referenced Democrats' slanderous attacks on Georgia's 2021 election integrity law, saying that dishonest opposition to such measures "Are a form of voter suppression in their own right." Signed by Kemp in March 2021, SB 202 included provisions mandating voter ID for absentee voting and safeguards on giving voters gifts or money within 150 feet of a polling place.
Immediately after the law's passage, Democrats and their legacy media allies began smearing the law as a Republican-led effort to "Suppress" nonwhite voters.
"And just like the claims that Russia hacked the election and changed votes, or that Abrams lost because of 'voter suppression,' or that the election was stolen, the data and evidence don't back up those claims."
