Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger called out President Joe Biden and Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) for repeating debunked claims about voter suppression in the Peach State.
Democrats, including Biden, have repeated baseless claims that a Georgia election security law passed last year disenfranchises Georgia voters, calling the law "Jim Crow 2.0." They claim the law makes voting more difficult. But Georgia experienced record voter turnout in the 2022 midterm elections, dispelling the narrative.
Surprisingly, Warnock has maintained the narrative despite, once again, winning a close election and securing his first full term in the U.S. Senate.
What did Raffensperger say?
The top Georgia official responded to Warnock's and Biden's "false claims" in an essay published Sunday in the Wall Street Journal.
"During [Warnock's] victory speech, Mr. Warnock stated: 'Just because [voters] endured the rain and cold and all kinds of tricks in order to vote, doesn’t mean that voter suppression does not exist.' I thought I had heard every conspiracy theory there was after the 2020 election, but the idea that Republicans control the weather to make it harder for Democrats to vote is a new one," Raffensperger wrote.
Warnock sees electoral "fairness only in Democratic victories," Raffensperger declared, pointing to Warnock's criticism of elections when Democrats lose but his praise when they win.
"Warnock’s and Biden’s stolen-election claims would be laughable if they weren’t so dangerous to public trust in elections," Raffensperger wrote.
Democrats, Raffensperger pointed out, do not even believe their own rhetoric about Georgia's election laws, owing to the fact that the Democratic Party just moved up Georgia's primary election to increase its influence in the next presidential election cycle.
How did Warnock respond?
The Georgia Democrat disputed Raffensperger's claims, but did not actually engage with the substance of his criticism.
"We should not assume that because I won that voter suppression is not an issue in Georgia," Warnock said Monday on CBS News.
"The fact that people have had to overcome barriers doesn't mean those barriers don't exist," he went on to say. "We literally saw college student and seniors in lines that were hours and hours and hours long. Maybe he's happy with that. I'm not. I think we can do better than that."
WH asked for evidence of voter suppression in Georgia, but press sec refuses 'to get into specifics'
The White House refused on Tuesday to provide evidence to verify its claim that voter suppression is happening in Georgia.
What is the background?
After early voting began in Georgia last week, the Peach State has experienced record turnout for early voting in a midterm election. Turnout, in fact, has almost eclipsed record levels for a presidential election.
Georgians are thus quickly dismantling Democrats' narrative that claims the election integrity law passed last year ushered in modern-day Jim Crow, seeking to restrict voting access in a discriminatory manner.
What did the WH say?
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked Tuesday whether President Joe Biden stands by his claim that Georgia's law is akin to Jim Crow laws.
After dancing around a direct answer, she indicated that Biden has not changed his position.
"High turnout and voter suppression can take place at the same time," Jean-Pierre said. "One doesn’t have to happen on its own. They could be happening at the same time."
When asked directly whether the White House believes voter suppression is in fact taking place in Georgia, Jean-Pierre said she did not "want to get into specifics of what is currently happening in one race."
"But doesn’t that record turnout show that Georgia voters are finding ways to vote, even amid the —" the reporter followed up before Jean-Pierre interrupted.
"Look, again, I’m not going to get into specifics of what Georgia voters are doing," the press secretary interjected. "What I am saying is that, you know, generally speaking, again — more broadly speaking, of course — high turnout and voter suppression can take place at the same time."

Anything else?
The response — that voter suppression still happens despite high voter turnout — is a narrative being parroted by Democrats and the media.
For example, the campaign of Democrat Stacey Abrams told Fox News high voter turnout in Georgia is a result of Democratic mobilization and voters who are enthusiastic to remove Gov. Brian Kemp (R).
"High turnout is not synonymous to voter access—rather the power of organizing and the urgency of voters to remove Brian Kemp and his allies’ far-right extremism from their communities," said press secretary Jaylen Black.
Meanwhile, Jonathan Chait wrote in New York magazine, "The early results in Georgia are consistent with the outcomes of other voting restrictions. Evidence suggests voter suppression has little effect on turnout, because Democrats mobilize in response to restrictions, canceling out much or all of the suppressive effect."
