9:13Now PlayingThe Justice Department is suing the state of Georgia over new voting laws enacted as Republican leaders try to limit voting access nationwide. This comes after President Donald Trump’s 2020 election loss. With Trump’s repeated claims of voting fraud, the GOP believes harsher restrictions will boost election confidence.
The state law gives officials the power to take over local election boards, limits ballot drop boxes, imposes new voter identification requirements for absentee ballots. In addition, the law makes it a crime for individuals to give food or water to voters standing in long lines.
Many people say the new laws are akin to Jim Crow-era policies and are a form of voter suppression. BNC correspondent Bifta Yimam, Howard political science professor Niambi Carter, Ph.D., and Democratic strategist Keith Lamar join “DC Today” host Del Walters to discuss the controversy.
