Joe Biden: Republicans’ End Game Is to Turn the Will of the Voters into ‘a Mere Suggestion’

EXCERPT:

BIDEN: “The votes of nearly 5 million Georgians will be up for grabs if that law holds. It’s not just here in Georgia. Last year alone, 19 states, not proposed, but enacted 34 laws attacking voting rights. There were nearly 400 additional bills Republican members of state legislatures tried to pass. And now Republican legislators in several states have already announced plans to escalate the onslaught this year. Their end game, to turn the will of the voters into a mere suggestion. Something states can respect or ignore. Jim Crow 2.0 is about two insidious things. Voter suppression and election subversion. It’s no longer about who gets to vote. It’s about making it harder to vote. It’s about who gets to count the vote and whether your vote counts at all. It’s not hyperbole. This is a fact. Look, this matters to all of us."
