Biden falsely claims new Georgia law ends voting hours early

Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the party is always right.

George Orwell, he/his/him

"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".

"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.

"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".

"So where would Biden get this perception that ordinary workers were getting the shaft because the state would 'end voting at five o'clock'? We have one clue".

"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".
