Both President Joe Biden, a Democrat who opposes Georgia's controversial elections law, and Gov. Brian Kemp, the Republican who signed it last week, misleadingly described the text of the law in interviews this week.

And some of them are coming from the top. Both President Joe Biden, a Democrat who opposes the law, and Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, the Republican who signed it last week, misleadingly described the text of the law in interviews this week. Here is a breakdown of a Biden assertion and three Kemp assertions.

The new law also says that early voting has to be open at least between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. on two Saturdays during primary elections and general elections. That's an increase in mandatory weekend hours compared to previous law, which required only one Saturday of early voting from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. And the new law says counties can go from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekends if they want to.

ddale8 Biden should be impeached for lying to everyone like that. And the sooner the better.

ddale8 Do we really have voter suppression? Felons, demertia pts, non citizens should probably not vote. I think Im in the majority on this. Ballot harvesting, no id, outdated voter files , poor cross county and state checks just increase ease of fraud. Im for integrity .

ddale8 Where is clip explaining Biden’s misleading statements as the headline says

ddale8 team_kaka nksto808 CuomoPrimeTime Never, ever put President Biden's name in a negative context. He ain't Trump. He may make mistakes, get some small facts wrong here and there but he ain't Trump. Less than 100 days and he's done more for the country than the past 4 years.

CNN should leave GA.

Loving the both-sidesism. There is only one party here trying to pass restrictions on voting gqp jimcrowlaws

Neither should be allowed in government or politics . Are either of them even worthy of being a deacon . They certainly aren't preacher worthy in my opinion . There is one that will Judge them for any wrong doings .

This dude want ppl to boycott our state and ppl cool with it that stay here is just nuts. Yall really don't know history if you think this is even in same ballpark as Jim Crow smh

Let's not pretend republicans are not trying to make it harder for people to vote in a lot of states. That is what the focus is not some minor fact he got wrong.

The bill is not controversial. Look at Joey’s home state of Delaware. Delaware’s voting laws are more strict. George’s voting laws Are all a distraction for the real issues in the country. Chaos at the border, higher taxes, rising gas prices...

Oh so trump isn’t the only one that lies?😂

All these Laws Are To preserve White Supremacy I voted in AZ for 10 years VBM and never a Problem when I lived there I Voted in FL for Years VBM never a Problem All this is that the WRONG people USED VBM this PASS Election Blatant Racism

CNN should work for China, there's no difference

I'm on the xbox, come chat too me guys 😏 bennyizag 😝 xoxoxoxo

States can't have they own laws ? Or just get a judge to overturn it like prop 8 in cali

Look. All jokes aside, if voter ID is racist, then all ID is racist. NoID

Now it’s misleading. When we are saying that last election was misleading and was a fraud no one listened

Fact check: What the new Georgia elections law actually doesThe Georgia elections law has prompted lawsuits from civil rights groups, a sharp denunciation from President Joe Biden, and calls for businesses to take action against the state. Here is an explanation of some of the changes made by the new law. My local liquor stores are racist and oppressive can you believe they asked me to show an ID! Also a few years ago during black Friday i had to wait in a long line some ppl even slept on the sidewalk the night before just to get in! Oppression is all around us! CNN is the really big lie. I intentionally passed by Georgia as I was sailing down the eastern coast this year. I will not spend a dime in that state ever if they keep doing what they have done to voter rights.
