Biden earns ‘Four Pinocchios’ from Washington Post for false claim about Georgia voting law

Video
The Washington Post Fact Checker knocked President Biden on Tuesday for falsely claiming a new Georgia law "ends voting hours early," giving him its harshest rating of Four Pinocchios for spreading the misinformation.

Biden repeatedly claimed last week a lawsigned by Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, R., would make it harder for working-class people to vote.

"What I’m worried about is how un-American this whole initiative is. It’s sick. It’s sick," Biden said. "Deciding that you’re going to end voting at five o'clock when working people are just getting off work."

Biden doubled down the following day in a written statement: "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."

Washington Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler wrote Biden's claim couldn't be substantiated.

"One could understand a flub in a news conference. But then this same claim popped up in an official presidential statement. 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," Kessler wrote.

"On Election Day in Georgia, polling places are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and if you are in line by 7 p.m., you are allowed to cast your ballot. Nothing in the new law changes those rules. However, the law did make some changes to early voting. But experts say the net effect was to expand the opportunities to vote for most Georgians, not limit them,"...

Biden lied. Even the liberal lamestream media Amazon mouthpiece Washington Post called him out. The law actually increases opportunities to vote not decrease them. The whole water for those waiting in line issue was a lie as well.

 

The various states fixing of the issues and loopholes that caused the 2020 president election to be questioned is a good thing. Georgia’s overhaul is one of the best and they are to be highly commended for their great work.

 

It's not like the lie can be attributed to some gaffe or mis-speak, because the Administration made an official statement fabricating concerns that the law addresses in their interest. The real concern is the prohibition against electioneering 150 feet from a polling station, particularly in regards to campaigns handing voters gifts and prizes.

 

Psaki I heard doubled down on the lie as well and continued the narrative even after it's been proven that what they are claiming is absolutely false!

 

How does closing polling locations, preventing people from passing out water in long lines or reducing early voting quell issues with voter fraud? — which was completely unsubstantiated per official recounts.

These same people wanted to ban voting on Sunday so don’t act like they are doing this for any reason other than they think it will help them win elections.

If you were actually worried about fraud you would be outraged about what happened in Florida.

 

Now if only the MSM fact checked Biden like they did Trump. Leftists might have a clue what’s actually going on

At some point how long can they keep covering for this administration?

 

How can anyone claiming to believe in democracy think that passing restrictive voting laws is the American way???? It is the actions of a communist regime like China.

 

Is this more political/intellectual thuggery:

 

It is IRRESPONSIBILE these BALD FACE lies Biden and Harris and MSM and Dems are making about the GA law. Threatening the economy of the state and the people working there with these specious and baseless threats that if they don't do what they want we will ruin you.

The fact is if this law makes Georgia Jim Crowe and then Delaware has been and remains so and routinely elected Joe Biden under their Jim Crowe laws.

"
Unlike Iowa and Georgia, Delaware forbids no-excuse mail-in absentee voting. Only voters who meet a specific criteria can vote by mail, such as government employees; students; those with work or religious prohibitions, an illness or a disability; or those vacationing or living outside the U.S. Some have critiqued Georgia for capping the number of additional dropboxes for absentee ballots beyond the one required for each county at one per 100,000 active voters (of which the state has nearly 7.4 million) or one for every early voting site, whichever is fewer. But Delaware has about half as many dropbox locations per capita—only four across the entire state.

Moreover, both Iowa (since 1990) and Georgia (since 2004) have long had no-excuse in-person early voting. It’s available in Iowa during an election’s last 29 days. This year’s Georgia reforms require 17 mandatory days and two optional Sundays of early voting, up four days from last fall.


By contrast, Delaware has never allowed no-excuse early voting. To date, only voters eligible to cast mail-in absentee votes were allowed to vote early in-person. That is set to change in 2022, but even then Delaware will allow no-excuse, in-person early voting for only 10 days.

How about the bugaboo about requiring voter ID at the polls? All three states require it and accept many of the same forms (driver’s license, passport, etc.), though Iowa and Georgia provide free identification cards upon request. If Delaware voters don’t have such ID, they can “sign an affidavit of affirmation that the voter is the person listed on the election district record,” opening them to fines and possibly jail time if they aren’t.

So what’s the effect of these differences among the three states? While 59% of Iowa’s and 80% of Georgia’s votes last fall were cast early by mail or in-person, in Delaware only 29% were. Bottom line: Iowa and Georgia make it easier to vote than Delaware did last fall."

So is Biden going to demand all the credit card companies move out of Jim Crowe Delaware?

 

Why is Delaware Biden's home state more Jim Crowe than Ga?

Did you swallow Biden's lie that GA was closing polling places at 5:00PM?

 

All commonsense measures to increase election security and efficiency and access. It's Delaware and their Jim Crowe election laws Biden needs to worry about and demand the credit card companies and all the companies incorporated in Delaware to move out.

 

Don't boycott ....yet:

 

There was nothing wrong with what happened in Florida. People waiting in line can get water and food. It just can’t come from anyone trying to influence how one votes.

 

Biden is a deranged liar. GA is perfectly right to ensure Free and Fair Elections that Democrats, or anyone else, can't steal.

Et tu, Coke? Poorly Managed Soft drink company piles on in opposition to GA voting bill… after the bill is signed



Black executives pressure companies to fight the new law.

The feigned "outrage over Georgia Governor Brian Kemp signing voting law reform has reached the point of satisfying no one now. The backlash includes black executives facing a very basic question, along with CEOs of large corporations who are now opposing the bill – where were you when the bill was being written and debated in the state legislature? Why is opposition only happening after the governor signed the legislation into effect?"

Atlanta Journal and Constipation "speaks to reaction to another major corporation’s opposition to the bill. Not to be out-woked by Delta, Coca-Cola’s chief executive James Quincey appeared on CNBC to proclaim the law “unacceptable”. That’s the same word used by Bastain, but nevermind. I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that both men used the same word in their public opposition."

"Coca-Cola’s move to oppose the bill after it was voted on didn’t sit well with the" Firey "Georgia House Speaker. He delivered his own little bit of dramatic flourish."

Republicans are rightly speaking out on "the hypocrisy of woke corporations who are easily cowed by minorities demanding change on their own terms. The irony is that the new voting law makes voting easier, not more difficult as the opposition claims. An honest look at the bill shows that. The truth is that many states bent election rules and added special allowances due to the coronavirus pandemic. Georgia allowed the use of drop boxes at various locations an option that wasn’t in Georgia law so it was included in the new bill. Delta and Coca-Cola heard the calls from black executives after the executives began to feel pressure from those claiming voter suppression. Joe Biden and Senator Warnock spoke out against the legislation – both referring to Jim Crow in their opposition."

"The problem with corporations stepping into the political arena is that they end up appeasing about half of their consumers while giving the back of their hand to the other half of their consumers."

"Executives offer no revisions of the law. They just voice their opposition now because activists demand they do so. Are airlines and banks going to stop asking for identification from customers because it could be discriminatory? Of course not. It’s ridiculous to say that personal identification suppresses anyone from legally doing anything, including voting."

Governor Kemp calls on people to check out a comparison between Asshoe Biden's Delaware voting laws and Georgia’s. "If Joe Biden is so appalled by Georgia’s law, why didn’t he work for different laws in Delaware? He calls Georgia’s law “Jim Crow on steroids” which shows that the president of the United States" is a blithering slanderous race-baiting moron. "We are used to such race-baiting from the likes of Stacey Abrams, who also calls it a return to Jim Crow days, but the president should be held accountable for his words."

 

The derangement of the right wing is unmatched. Their paranoia has led to making threats against poll workers carrying bins, anyone election workers with a USB stick, unmarked vans carrying food for workers, and now people handing out water.

What ridiculous law will they come up with next? Perhaps not making eye contact with anyone in line because that's obviously a threat.

 

Read the actual laws instead of getting it spoon fed to you by CNN or Biden, who is ****ing lying.

The ONLY thing racist are Democrats claiming black people are being incapable of doing what white people can do. Pretty damn racist believing blacks are inferior, yet it’s pervasive in every word coming out of Democrats mouths now. King Biden said on national TV, blacks and Hispanics can’t get online. Are they not capable of operating a computer like white people can? Poor white people have superior tech ability? Sounds pretty damn racist!!!

 

Is it a misdemeanor to hand out water within 150 ft of a polling building? Yes or no. If Biden is lying, then I should be able to hand out food and water to people in line right? Is that what you are saying? The thought that any person would change their vote over water is ludicrous, but of course Cons just want something to pander to their base to make the election seem more "secure." Did democrats say making it a crime to had out water was racist? Nice how Cons manage to sneak a law that shortens early voting from 3 weeks to 1 week. Not sure how that prevents fraud, but if a Con says it does, better believe them!

Umm, yea generally poorer people are not likely to have internet access than people who have more capital to spend. Minorities have a higher poverty than whites, so less access to computers and the internet. Biden said Hispanics and Blacks are less likely to be able to register online, but you must think Biden meant they are too stupid don't you?

Do poor white or asian people have lack of access to the internet? Of course, but they are more likely to have access to broadband hence the higher vaccination rates. But you will ignore everything I just explained and tout how Biden thinks Hispanics and Blacks don't know how to use a computer.

 

Nice attempt at defending the racism of Biden he didn't say they don't have the internet he said they don't know how to use it and even poor people have internet nowadays so strike one keep swinging slugger, going to be a long 4 years

 

Why not provide the entire context of his quote instead of relying on the 22 second clip the right wing worships?

So clearly Biden is referring to older people who don't know how to use computers. This is definitely true as my mom and dad did not know how to schedule their vaccinations. If you are poor and live in the inner city and lack basic internet access, wouldn't it make sense that some people don't know how to make an appointment online?

 

Well Democrats think that obtaining ID represents a particularly difficult challenge to black people so yeah I guess that makes sense

 

What, they now have like 10 more days of "early" voting? Sounds like suppression to me. To be more in line with CRT, it's Jim Crow.

 

If you want to take the angle that is was only old people, that still doesnt make it any better. Why mention race? Old, young, what’s the difference? Why are OLD black and Hispanic people less capable than OLD white, Asian or Indian people?

What makes blacks and Hispanics inferior to other races? Why do Democrats keep repeating that over and over and over again? It’s either blatant racism, or pandering drenched in racism. Either way it’s ****ing racist claiming one race can’t do what another does. Especially not being smart enough to do it.

And there is NO reason political operatives should be handing out water to people about to head to vote. That’s a very easy way to influence people. And frankly if you’re too stupid to have a bottle of water if you NEED it, that’s on you. You’re not standing in line for hours. And if you are, why not be prepared? Guess ONLY black people are incapable of using common sense?? Low expectations from Democrats as usual.

Guess when black people go to Disney Democrats feel they’re don’t know to bring backpacks or a wheel chair or sunscreen, because they need big brother telling them how to function daily.

 

Why make it about race? Because he was responding to a question about why vaccination rates were lower among the hispanic and black community. I'm sure the fake news MSM would just have you believe he went rambling off on a tangent though.

The law does not specifically ban political operatives from handing food or water out to voters in line. It bans any non-poll worker. That means if little Johnny and little Sally hand out a bottle of water to grandma who is in line, they just committed a crime.
Long lines are a common feature in urban areas, and will be even longer now that early voting has been limited.

If you go to Disney land, you expect to stay there for at least half the day. People who go to vote don't have the same expectations. They can still bring their own, but sometimes grandma forgets you know just like she forgets where she puts her keys.

 

Poll workers can hand out food and drink. Read it again. Just NOT operatives. People should not be able to “bribe” for votes, even if it’s free soda and a sandwich. You still have to explain how it’s racist. What is so different about poor blacks and Hispanics? Why are they less capable?

Same with vaccinations. The low expectations Democrats have for CERTAIN minorities is a incredible.

 

The same poll workers that ran Biden ballots through machines 3 times? They are hardly impartial. The law states that no person except poll workers meaning if little Johnny hands water to grandma, he is committing a crime right.

Haven't heard of anyone saying operatives were handing out water or food for votes in the last election. Seems like a myth propagated by Fake News media.
