WaPo report about Georgia voting flushes 'another Biden/Dem Jim Crow myth down the drain'

Last summer the Democrat narrative about an election law in Georgia caused Major League Baseball to move the All-Star game from Atlanta to Colorado, and some months later during a speech the Unity President™ compared Republicans to segregationists.

After all the Left’s alarmist narrative about Georgia’s election law, so far reality isn’t matching up with what the Dems were pushing (yet again):

The headline makes it sound like the Washington Post is surprised.

Yes, they lied and you guys went along with it to pressure MLB to move the all star game. https://t.co/hISwgmEn6x

Instead of admitting the election law narrative was unfounded, the Dems are framing this as if they found workarounds to the alleged GOP voter suppression effort:

But after three weeks of early voting ahead of Tuesday’s primary, record-breaking turnout is undercutting predictions that the Georgia Election Integrity Act of 2021 would lead to a falloff in voting. By Friday, the final day of early in-person voting, more than 700,000 Georgians had cast ballots — three times the number in 2018, and higher even than in 2020, a presidential year.

Voting-rights groups and Democrats say they have changed their strategies to mobilize voters under the new rules. In Spalding County, for instance, local activists moved Souls to the Polls to a Saturday, and they defiantly promised that they would work twice as hard if that was what it took to protect voter access.

“It was a direct way to send a message to the Black community that they’re in charge now,” said Elbert Solomon, vice chairman of the county Democratic committee. “But every day we get people walking through the door, White and Black. A lot of people are concerned about their democracy.”
