Where’s the suppression?
According to a University of Georgia School of Public and International Affairs post-election poll, 0% of Black Georgians had trouble voting in the 2022 midterm election; 94.3% were either “very confident” or “somewhat confident” their vote counted as intended.
Twice-failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, who has been incredibly vocal about voter suppression in the Peach State, has remained silent since the poll was released.
From The Daily Caller:
In March 2021, Georgia passed the Election Integrity Act, which required voters to have an ID to receive an absentee ballot and placed a restriction on where ballot boxes were placed, leading President Joe Biden to call the new law “Jim Crow in the 21st Century.”
The law worked to curb alleged voter fraud and expanded in-person early voting in most counties, while also extended voting periods to weekends and expanded the hours polls are open.
After the law passed in March, Abrams criticized the law, which was implemented by Kemp, and continued to criticize the law during the midterms. Leading up to the election, Georgia voters broke the state early voting record, with 2,288,889 ballots cast, according to the Georgia secretary of State office.
“It does not mean voter suppression doesn’t exist,” Abrams said in October during a campaign rally. “But we’re stronger, better, and faster than it.” Abrams first accused Georgia of participating in voter suppression after Kemp defeated her for the first time during the 2018 gubernatorial election.
