On Sunday, Stacey Abrams denounced Republican efforts to alter the current voting laws in Georgia and elsewhere. Abrams also claimed that there should be an exception to the filibuster in order for Democrat-supported election bills to pass the Senate.

Last week, The Daily Wire’s Tim Pearce reported on the details of the new GOP proposal in Georgia. It was introduced “to strengthen the state’s voter ID laws while putting limits on who may receive an absentee ballot.” The Georgia Senate passed the legislation last week, sending it back to the House where it is expected to be approved. Republican Governor Brian Kemp “has not signaled whether he intends to sign the legislation.” Republicans have claimed that election reform was needed in Georgia after last year’s elections when the state came under intense examination for its voting methods and many recounts.
