President Joe Biden issued a full-throated attack Friday 0n a new Georgia law that dramatically constrains voting access in the Peach State, calling it “Jim Crow in the 21st Century” and putting his voice behind efforts to pass voting-rights legislation in Congress.
Biden's criticism of Georgia's SB 202, which was signed into law Thursday evening, came after similarly vehement comments from the president at his first formal news conference this week, in which he denounced efforts by Republican-led state legislatures to restrict access to voting.
"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 said of the Georgia statute. "It adds rigid restrictions on casting absentee ballots that will effectively deny the right to vote to countless voters."
