Stacey Abrams, Joy Reid decry Georgia 'voter suppression' despite record turnout: 'There is no correlation'


Reid accused a number of liberal media outlets of helping Republicans push 'lie' that Georgia's election law was 'not suppressive at all'


Left-wing MSNBC host Joy Reid and Democratic Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams joined forces Monday to decry "voter suppression" across the state despite record early turnout from voters in this year's primary elections.

While sitting down for an interview with Reid on MSNBC's "The ReidOut," Abrams oddly claimed there was "no correlation" between the record high turnout and less voter suppression, and that arguing such was like saying "if more people are in the water there are fewer sharks."

Reid also fretted over a number of liberal media outlets reporting on the high turnout, claiming they were helping Republicans push "a new big lie" that Georgia's "suppressive" new election integrity law was actually "not suppressive at all."

Is anyone else a bit concerned with all these recent elections with record turnouts? While overall the turnout trends upward, elections have seen less voter than the previous in many instances.

Supposedly, more people voted for biden than the entire number of votes cast for president in 1976. High voter turn out is great, but only if those voters can be verified as being legit.

Well she MIGHT be right about one thing ---

There's really only one way that a record turnout of votes has NOTHING to do with voter suppression - and that's if the record turnout isn't actually voters.

I.E. - cheating.

Because if you pass laws designed to decrease the amount of voters - if it actually DOES that - and you nevertheless have lots of votes cast - either one of two things is true.

1. The laws actually DIDN'T restrict the ability to vote OR
2. The votes cast have nothing to do with actual voters.

I really can't see how a law WIDELY CRITICIZED for disenfranchising people - and it doesn't do that when election day comes - there's really only two possibilities. Either Stacey is wrong, or she's right - it either DOES restrict voters or doesn't restrict voters. If it DOES restrict voters and the numbers go up, it means they're not coming from voters.
