GOP Senators Decry ‘Jim Crow Hearing’ Over Ga. Voting Rights Law – By OAN Newsroom (OANN) / April 21 2021
Lawmakers in the nation’s capitol are clashing over how to move forward with future elections. On Tuesday, the Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing on the recently passed voting rights laws in Georgia.
The hearing was dubbed by Democrats as “Jim Crow 2021: The Latest Assault on the Right to Vote.” Senate Republicans thought the name was misleading.
“The lack of judgment in this instance not only belittles those who endured such dehumanization and indignity through the Jim Crow-era, it also remind us, reminds all of us or certainly should, of what Jim Crow was and how and when that happened,” stated Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah).
Democrats, including failed candidate for Georgia governor Stacey Abrams, decried the Peach State’s action while claiming the law will hinder minority voices. They painted several provisions as suppressive, including requiring ID’s, cutting down early voting in rural and urban communities as well as securing absentee ballot counting.
