The Washington Post has noticed that “despite” the new election laws in Georgia, early turnout is actually way up:

Hmm, interesting:
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 the end of Friday, the final day of early in-person voting, nearly 800,000 Georgians had cast ballots — more than three times the number in 2018, and higher even than in 2020, a presidential year.
However, it’s not as if reality is going to keep the Democrats or their pals in the media from continuing to push their preferred narrative. “Journalist” Yamiche Alcindor remains undaunted when it comes to pushing the “voter suppression” angle in spite of mounting evidence to the contrary:
NBC’s @Yamiche on Ga.’s “voter suppression laws”:
Republicans think "these black people don’t deserve the access to citizenship in the way that other Americans do, that they haven’t worked for it and they don’t understand the weight of American democracy." pic.twitter.com/UdIuiXGjed

Georgia could also have a record turnout in November and there’s little doubt that Alcindor would still be saying those same things.
Is this clip from today?

Yes from 2 minutes before I posted it

Alcindor will still be saying the same thing in the coming days, weeks and months no matter how much evidence to the contrary arises.
Couldn't find a republican for the show?

State propagandist and election conspiracy theorist, Yamiche.

This casual, false racial smear would be unhinged from a commentator. She is ostensibly a reporter. https://t.co/5wbQqPVqxm

She’s also described as a “journalist” — a word that should be said while accompanied by the most exaggerated finger quotes possible.
