Conservative Twitter users slammed Democrats for having once claimed that updated Georgia election laws were "Jim Crow 2.0" after state election officials reported this week that early voting numbers this year smashed turnout in the 2018 midterms.
In 2021, President Joe Biden, fellow Democratic lawmakers and major media outlets attacked a new Georgia election integrity law as an attempt by GOP officials to suppress the vote, particularly among the African American community.
The Democrats were so pointed in their attacks on the legislation that Biden referred to it in March 2021 as "Jim Crow in the 21st Century." He added, "It must end. We have a moral and constitutional obligation to act."
