Georgia Lt. Gov. Candidate calls out Stacey Abrams’ voter suppression argument as ‘flawed’

John Solomon Reports

Georgia State Senator Burt Jones discusses the controversial Georgia Voting Bill, SB 202, saying that the arguments from Stacey Abrams and Democrats calling the legislation, ‘voter suppression’ is ‘flawed’. The State Senator dismisses these arguments saying that the opposition to the ‘voter integrity legislation’ is only an attempt for ‘bureaucrats in DC to run statewide’ and local elections. Jones pushes back saying that he ‘does not know’ how they could argue that ‘19 days of early voting, weekend voting, and having to show proof of identification’ is ‘suppressing the vote’. Jones goes on to explain that even people without ‘a driver's license’, can still vote under the new law, as ‘a state voting ID on behalf of the state of Georgia’ will be issued to the person, to accommodate the requirement for identification at the polls.
