'Jim Crow 2.0': Cliff Albright talks Georgia voting legislation on Start Your Day


The state of Georgia is set to pass bills that will restrict voting access to residents. Cliff Albright, the co-founder of Black Voters Matter and Executive Director of the Black Voters Matter Fund, joined Start Your Day with Sharon Reed and Mike Hill to discuss the bill. Calling it “Jim Crow 2.0,” Albright said the bills are “very serious.” He said the proposed legislation attacks voting at every stage of the process, including in-person, early and same-day voting. He said the bill also wants to eliminate dropboxes, cut back on hours for early voting and allow the state to take over local boards of elections. Citing the false claims and lies told by former President Donald Trump, Albright said the Republicans are trying to justify it by restricting access when they should be expanding it instead.
