Georgia AG accuses Stacey Abrams of 'poll testing' the word 'Jim Crow'

needs to quote smarten up when it comes to voting law i wonder what my next guest thinks about that to georgia secretary of state brad raffensberger on his take on everything that's going on uh yeah also yesterday we heard president biden use the term jim crow to describe your voting laws as well your thoughts i would encourage president biden to read the bill if you look at the bill it's very measured and what it does there's sensible reforms for example we're moving away from signature match we've actually been sued by both the democrat party republican party's over signature match we're now moving to a very objective measure of using driver's license number and also your birthday day month and year very objective it's being used right now in both minnesota nebraska blue states red states good measure it's interesting that a lot of comparisons have been made with the georgia's voting law versus colorado's and for the most part extreme similarities between both and and and so many are wondering why why do you think that this stands out because the only thing i could see even in most liberal media outlets was the notion that well this just came so quickly after the georgia election that it was some sort of payback that this was you trying to get in good grace a good favor with the trump wing of the republican party what do you say to that well number one i had nothing to do with the writing of the legislation that's done by the legislators both senate and house side that was their legislation we looked at it from a legal standpoint when we were asked for legal advice but the end of the day they're using sb 202 the democrats are as a cudgel or also as a way of pushing hr one which is federal takeover of elections i think also probably stacey abrams has already poll tested the word jim crow found that that plays well just like when she poll tested the word voter suppression back in 2014 so this is part of her hustle for making money she's raised over 100 million dollars now with her voter suppression hustle which is not based in reality cinema center minority leader mitch mcconnell earlier today told a local kentucky radio station uh well he continues to rip major league baseball over this decision to pull out of the game in atlanta take a listen major league baseball and a bunch of very large companies just accepted this nonsense from the political left that it was somehow that this new law down there was somehow designed to suppress african-american voting which is utterly provably nonsense brad we know politics is a dirty game for the most part but how do you explain these real brilliant large corporations multinational corporations why how do you explain them blinking did the amount of pressure that they've tried to exert on the state of georgia and this new law well speaking from experience when social media gets someone has a big megaphone we say 80 million followers on twitter and they start going after you there's an awful lot of pressure it takes integrity to stand up to that pressure it also takes time to review the bill if you look at what the bill actually does we've increased early voting from 16 days minimum up to 17 allowing sunday voting in the law now for the first time also in the law for the first time making sure counties continue to improve on keeping lines short lines longer than one hour are not allowed you'll have to break the precincts in half or actually add additional equipment and poll workers all good stuff right let's get to the water situation because that's the number one talking point uh you're standing in line you've been there for a long time and you can't even get a glass of water explain how it works well first off in november we average wait time in the afternoon was two minutes statewide i've got the data we can produce it's on my iphone but second of all what we people were doing is we have a 150-foot zone of no politicking no electioneering and candidates were coming within that zone under the guise of giving people water but it's really there's water what do they do if they want water that's what i'm asking oh county election officials can hand that out to their hearts content because then it's non-partisan bipartisan what we're saying is no candidates and candidate committees or their people should be within that 150-foot zone if you want to hand out water 200 feet out go ahead knock yourself out brad we'll leave it right there thank you very much folks now watch this
