Joe Biden to Denounce Republican Voting Integrity Laws as Domestic Enemy of Democracy

Charlie Spiering 11 Jan 2022

President Joe Biden plans to deliver an angry speech condemning Georgia’s election integrity laws on Tuesday, describing Republicans as a domestic threat to the right to vote and democracy itself.

The White House previewed excerpts from Biden’s address which will portray him as a dominant force against the “shadow” and the domestic threat posed by Republicans in Georgia and across the country.

From the White House preview of the speech:

Quote

Will we choose democracy over autocracy, light over shadow, justice over injustice? I know where I stand. I will not yield. I will not flinch. I will defend your right to vote and our democracy against all enemies foreign and domestic.

Biden will challenge the United States Senate for failing to move forward on legislation that would federalize state and local elections, barring election integrity laws passed into law since the 2020 election.

“And so the question is where will the institution of United States Senate stand?” Biden will ask.

The president will call for the Senate to end the filibuster rules, allowing them to pass voting rights legislation with a 50-vote Senate majority. But that might not be enough, as Sen. Krysten Sinema (D-AZ) has promised to defend the Senate filibuster, despite widespread complaints from the left.

Biden will try to connect the January 6th protests of the 2020 election to the state’s voting integrity laws, signed by Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp in March.
“We have to ensure January 6th doesn’t mark the end of democracy but the beginning of a renaissance for our democracy,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Monday, previewing the speech.

Voting rights activists have already dismissed Biden and Harris’ trip to Georgia as “more platitudes” and are skipping the speeches.

Stacey Abrams, who is running again for Georgia governor, also plans to skip the event, citing a scheduling conflict.

So, provably free and fair elections, that are auditable so that any remaining fraud can be spotted, and remedied, are the enemy of democracy?

Really? Democracy is the enemy of Democracy? Is that what you're going with Biden?

Georgia Voting Rights Coalitions: Kamala Harris and Joe Biden Should Stay Home

Charlie Spiering 11 Jan 2022

President Joe Biden plans to deliver an angry speech condemning election integrity laws in Georgia on Tuesday, but prominent voting rights activists are skipping the event and telling him to stay home.

“Instead of giving a speech tomorrow, the US Senate should be voting tomorrow,” a coalition of voting rights groups said in a joint statement.

“What we need now, rather than a visit from the president, vice-president and legislators is for the White House and Senate to remain in DC and act immediately to pass federal legislation to protect our freedom to vote.”

The Georgia groups criticizing Joe Biden’s speech as a “photo op” include The Galeo Impact Fund, New Georgia Project Action Fund, Black Votes Matter, Asian American Advocacy Fund, and the Atlanta-North Georgia Labor Council.

The Dem's might be more effective if they targeted the specific laws and provisions rather than the GOP.

The only reason to attack the GOP, and not the laws themselves, is that the provision of the laws are not really injurious to voter rights.

Biden is expected to endorse ending the Senate filibuster today, ending once and for all any assumption that he is a moderate or centrist.

We have a socialist government running our nation and they want to destroy it faster than the rules allow.

The DEMS are continuing to repeat this narrative over and over again trying to persuade the public (DEM voting base in particular) that it is the GOP who tried to steal an election by their objections and recounts of the last election.

Our SCOTUS doing nothing and turning a blind eye certainly didn't help the country and was quite detrimental and some may see it as supporting the DEMS claim.

Despite being repeatedly corrected, Biden repeated his false statement about the Georgia election law and says that it makes it illegal to give people water at polling places...

Joe Biden railing about a non-existent voting crisis, while store shelves are empty, gas and groceries are more expensive than ever, and schools are being shut down.

The country just sees an old man trying to distract them from his failures.

Biden says Republicans are trying to make it more difficult to vote by mail--"the same way, I might add, in the 2020 election, President Trump voted from behind the desk in the White House in Florida."
