'Black people are under attack': Start Your Day hosts talk Georgia voter suppression


Republican Governor for the state of Georgia, Brian Kemp, signed a new bill into law limiting access to voting in the state. The passage of SB 202 limits access to voting drop boxes, makes giving food or drinks to voters a misdemeanor crime, allows for unlimited challenges to voter registrations and eligibility, sets up a fraud hotline and requires counties to keep counting ballots without a break. It will also shorten the runoff cycle from nine weeks to four weeks. Referred to as “Jim Crow 2.0” and “Jim Eagle” by President Joe Biden, this bill has large opposition from Black voters and Democratic legislators. Start Your Day hosts Sharon Reed and Mike Hill discussed the bill and how it is voter suppression. “Black people are under attack by white legislators here in Georgia and throughout the country,” Reed said.
