On Saturday the Washington Post reported that voting is “surging” in Georgia despite Democrat claims the new election law would make it harder to cast a ballot.
Washington Post reporter Amy Gardner tweeted the story this way: Voting is surging in Georgia’s upcoming primary, undercutting Democratic claims that a new election law would make it harder to cast a ballot, my latest from the Peach State, with @mrbrownsir https://t.co/wP44HUSWNo
— Amy Gardner (@AmyEGardner) May 21, 2022 Basically, the story is that the Georgia election law isn’t anything like the “Jim Crow on steroids” that President Biden claimed it to be : after three weeks of early voting ahead of Tuesday’s primary, record-breaking turnout is undercutting predictions that the Georgia Election Integrity Act of 2021 would lead to a falloff in voting. By Friday, the final day of early in-person voting, more than 700,000 Georgians had cast ballots — three times the number in 2018, and higher even than in 2020, a presidential year. However, “journalist” Aaron Rupar got a head start on the spin, and it’s very likely this is what the Democrats will be picking up in the coming days: Pretty glaring fallacy in this tweet — just because more people are voting doesn’t mean it’s not harder to do https://t.co/7V5RrJPtfz
— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) May 21, 2022 That tweet should be the new gold standard to describe “clinging to a narrative no matter what.” you meant glaring fallacy in your own tweet right https://t.co/pUMLdCgmSc

More people voting suggests that it’s somehow harder to do? How the hell does turnout increase then? https://t.co/fMCQJA5wBQ

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
