The Last Time Biden Spoke About Elections In Georgia, His Lies Cost The State An Estimated $100 Million
BIDEN DOESN’T HAVE THE VOTES, SO NOW HE WANTS TO CHANGE THE RULES
BIDEN AND DEMOCRATS SPREAD LIES AND BACKED A BOYCOTT OF THE PEACH STATE
- Joe Biden pressured MLB to boycott Georgia by spreading lies about the state’s election law.
- In a March interview, Biden said he would “strongly support” moving the All-Star Game out of Georgia over its new voting law.
- Less than 48 hours later, MLB reacted and caved to political pressure, announcing it would move the All-Star Game.
- Governor Brian Kemp said MLB caved to “pressure from the White House” and made their decision because of “cancel culture and a bunch of liberal lies.”
- Biden lied about the bill, falsely claiming it reduced early voting.
- Biden wasn’t the only one, with Democrats and woke corporations also spreading lies.
- Raphael Warnock (D-GA) admitted to spreading misinformation that the bill eliminated no-excuse mail voting and restricted early voting.
- Stacey Abrams falsely claimed the bill reduced voting hours.
- Chuck Schumer (D-NY) falsely said the bill eliminated Sunday early voting.
GEORGIA’S WORKERS AND BUSINESSES PAID THE PRICE OF BIDEN’S BOYCOTT
- Biden’s top economic advisor admitted the Georgia boycott was meant to hurt small businesses.
- The tourism industry, one of the hardest hit by the pandemic, suffered as a result of the Biden boycott.
- Moving the MLB game out of Georgia hurt minority businesses, with nearly 30 percent of businesses in Atlanta being Black-owned.
- Historically, the All-Star Game has generated tens of millions of dollars in economic activity for host cities:
- The 2020 All-Star Game had an estimated economic impact of $89 million, and the 2019 All-Star Game had an estimated economic impact of $65 million.
GEORGIA DEMOCRATS AND LOCAL LEADERS AGREED: MOVING THE ALL-STAR GAME HURT THEIR COMMUNITIES
- State Rep. Teri Anulewicz (D-GA), whose district includes the Atlanta Braves’ ballpark: “I truly hope other major events don’t leave Georgia on the heels of the MLB decision, which will ultimately only hurt working Georgians.”
- Cobb Commission Chairwoman Lisa Cupid (D):“We certainly would have been uplifted had they chose to stay here. Recognizing that we are in a pandemic, this would have given us a lift out of that.”
- Cupid: “The President's remarks concerning moving Major League Baseball's All-Star Game out of Cobb County sends an unfortunate message to those residents and businesses here who have supported him.”
- Georgia State Representative Erick Allen (D): The MLB’s decision “hurts Small business owners and Cobb County.”
- Sharon Mason, President and CEO of the Cobb Chamber of Commerce, said that the region was looking forward to the economic boost from the All-Star Game, and that the boycott had “a negative impact on the frontline workers and local businesses located around Truist Park.”
THE 2021 ELECTIONS PROVED THAT COMMONSENSE ELECTION INTEGRITY LAWS WORK
- Despite Democrats’ attempts to delegitimize election integrity laws, voters are seeing the results of making it easier to vote and harder to cheat.
- Despite Democrats’ lies about Georgia’s new election law, on Election Day in November The Atlanta Journal-Constitution wrote that voters saw “short lines,” “few problems,” and no “obstacles at the polls.”
- In Atlanta’s 2021 municipal elections, turnout rose by 17 percent compared to 2017.
- In Florida, Democrats disgustingly attempted to smear SB90, Florida’s new election law, as “Jim Crow” in attempt to generate outrage about the bill.
- On Election Day, reports from Florida’s counties were that the elections went off “without a hitch, with no reports of malfunctions, long lines or other issues at polling places.”
- For the congressional special election in Broward and Palm Beach counties, election officials reported “smooth” voting and no issues related to the state’s new election law.
- Of the 19 states the left-wing Brennan Center for Justice says implemented election integrity measures, 17 of them held elections in November and none reported any major election issues.
THE RNC IS DEFENDING STATES’ ABILITY TO MAKE IT EASIER TO VOTE AND HARDER TO CHEAT
- With less than one year until the 2022 midterm elections, the Republican National Committee (RNC) is running the most comprehensive legal strategy to date to ensure that elections are free, fair, and transparent.
- As Democrats and the Biden administration are weaponizing the Department of Justice against popular election laws, the RNC is intervening to defend election integrity.
- In Georgia, the Department of Justice filed a “politicized and baseless lawsuit” in an attempt to overturn Georgia’s new election integrity law, SB202.
- The RNC and NRSC were granted intervention in Georgia against the Department of Justice’s “politically motivated lawsuit” as well as seven other lawsuits challenging the law.
- In Arizona, a lawsuit was filed challenging SB1485, the state’s new law to secure voter rolls for future elections.
- The RNC and the NRSC have been granted intervention to defend the law.
- In Florida, four separate lawsuits from far-left groups threatened to slow down efforts to shore up the state’s election laws.
- The RNC and NRSC have been granted intervention in all four lawsuits.
- In New York City, the RNC is suing the city over its efforts to devalue American citizenship and let non-citizens vote.
- American elections should be decided by American citizens – it’s that simple.
