What the Fight Over Georgia’s Election Law is Really About

Democrats in Washington and their partisans in the media and corporate headquarters are relentlessly attacking legislation recently enacted for the purpose of restoring election integrity in Georgia. They insist it would suppress minority votes.

That’s manifestly not true. But the lie is nonetheless being pushed in the service of suppressing something else – namely, free and fair elections nationwide.

Specifically, in coming days, the U.S. Senate is expected to act on S.1, federal legislation that would impose throughout our Union fraud-inviting rules like those that led to contested election results, not only in Georgia’s presidential race, but in five other swing states, as well.

Senator Mitch McConnell and every one of his Republican colleagues must withstand the sorts of vicious criticism now being directed at patriotic Americans in Georgia to assure that all of our votes are not suppressed from now on.
