The
Washington Post fact-checker gave President Joe Biden a rating of “Four Pinocchios” in response to a claim he made about an election integrity law recently passed in Georgia.
© Provided by Washington Examiner “What I’m worried about is how un-American this whole initiative is,” Biden said about the Georgia law that many on the Left have
characterized as an attempt to “limit voting.” “It’s sick. It’s sick … deciding that you’re going to end voting at five o’clock when working people are just getting off work.”
HR 1 WOULD PUT THE WASHINGTON SWAMP IN CHARGE OF ELECTIONS
“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,” Biden added.
The
Washington Post’s Glenn Kessler
responded to those two claims and pointed out that nowhere in the law are voting hours limited and early voting was, in fact, expanded.
“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,” he wrote. “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.”
Kessler’s article included comments from several election experts who disagreed with Biden’s characterization of the bill.
“So where would Biden get this perception that ordinary workers were getting the shaft because the state would ‘end voting at five o’clock’?” Kessler wrote. “We have one clue.”
He continues: "The law used to say early 'voting shall be conducted during normal business hours.' Experts said that generally means 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The
new law makes it specific — 'beginning at 9:00 AM and ending at 5:00 PM.' A Georgia election official said the change was made in part because some rural county election offices only worked part-time during the week, not a full eight-hour day, so the shift to more specific times makes it clear they must be open every weekday for at least eight hours."
The article also pointed out that Biden’s home state of Delaware did not allow any in-person early voting last November.
Biden, along with fellow Democrats, has been urging Congress to pass a massive voting rights bill that is currently being weighed in the Senate after being approved by the House.

The bill, known as H.R. 1 or the For The People Act, would significantly erode voter ID and voter registration laws in a move that Democrats say is necessary to expand access to voting and
Republicans have labeled as a power grab.
Recent polling on the issue shows that the public
overwhelmingly supports voter ID laws, including 69% of the black community, which Democrats have argued are prevented from voting because of voter ID laws.
