Good story by @BrandyZadrozny about bad-info-filled local "news" Facebook groups that are replacing shuttered or decimated newspapers with nonsense: https://t.co/LP6DIseGTz — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s Biden’s public schedule for tomorrow. (Public schedules don’t include all of a president’s activities.) https://t.co/pQ1nI7mSuE — PolitiTweet.org

@bzref Yeah man! I don’t complain about calls, I’m lodging a trivial complaint about fun-ruining behavior — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

@WillRadie Man we don’t need a dozen whistle-blows when they all knew it was good - let fun be fun, you can go to the monitor in silence — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

@SethDavisHoops Comeonnn Seth we need wild celebrations this year! They all knew it was good, we don’t need like 15 whistle-blows around here — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Very glad Suggs and everyone ignored the ref’s “young men you may not demonstrate joy until I conduct my extremely essential review” whistle-blowing — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Unreal — PolitiTweet.org

@seanherrala I can’t quite tell even after watching it like five times. I’d guess yes very narrowly — PolitiTweet.org

@DownToBlack Weird call. I guess there was a lot of quick action — PolitiTweet.org

If you’re looking for a detailed breakdown of the Georgia elections law, here are four of them: CNN (me and @DianneG): https://t.co/t0o5e5Uiok GPB: https://t.co/jI2Q97T7mG NYT: https://t.co/Vh6VJ9d1yH Insider: https://t.co/hyaROGSOEi — PolitiTweet.org

In other words: Kemp and co. aren’t plain making things up when they talk about expanding access; there is real text they can point to, like the extra mandatory Saturday of non-runoff EV. But but but: the bill on the whole is very clearly more restrictive than expansionary. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Weird thing about Biden repeating an inaccurate criticism of the law’s section on non-runoff early voting is that this is the section where the GOP has the best case that it is expanding access - the law adds an extra mandatory day. Many other provisions are clearly restrictive. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

The bill has some provisions (like on early voting in non-runoffs) that expand access. But many others reduce access, some especially in urban areas. And that’s leaving aside how it gives a GOP-majority state board the power to seize the powers of county elections officials. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Strong recommendation to follow @stphnfwlr, who’s been clearly explaining the intricacies of the Georgia law and debunking inaccuracies from both supporters and critics. — PolitiTweet.org

@ChrisVannini Great piece — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Real cuts in this law include major drop box cuts for urban counties, a significantly shortened mail voting period, many fewer mandatory days of early voting in runoffs. And the state gets vastly increased powers over counties. The "5 pm" non-thing is an odd thing to talk about. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Some are saying "we're not fooled, this law lets Republicans close early voting at 5." But that was already permitted under the "normal business hours" minimum in the old law. New law says, effectively, "you can't claim normal biz hours means 10 to 4 or something. It's 9 to 5." — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Some Biden defenders are misinterpreting the history here. GA law *already allowed counties to end early voting as early as 5.* Many counties already did. The new law does not impose a cut to 5. It does significant other restrictions, which I've written about! But not this. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Kemp is scoffing at the idea the law takes away drop boxes, noting boxes were authorized in 2020 only under a temporary Covid rule and now they’re secured in actual law. Except...this law permits way fewer boxes than lots of counties used under the rule: https://t.co/Y5eXDRu0RZ — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Kemp said the food-water restriction just keeps political groups and candidates away (it doesn’t only restrict people who are campaigning) and that it only applies 150 feet from the building (he skipped the additional part about 25 feet from the line): https://t.co/Y5eXDRu0RZ — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Biden keeps suggesting the GA law ends voting at 5. It doesn’t, even in early voting. The vague old law required early voting at least “normal business hours.” The new law just clarifies this means at least until 5. Counties can still choose to go to 7: https://t.co/Y5eXDRu0RZ — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Both Biden and Kemp misleadingly described some of Georgia’s elections law on Wednesday — Biden on voting hours, Kemp on drop boxes and the food-and-drink provision. Fact check: https://t.co/Y5eXDRu0RZ — PolitiTweet.org
