Shittiest Jim Crow ever.

When Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, a Republican, signed an election overhaul law last year, President Joe Biden and his media allies quickly jumped to the most hyperbolic rhetoric.
To media amplification, Biden declared the arrival of "Jim Crow in the 21st century. " Biden added that his Department of Justice would be investigating the law. For anyone who needs a quick refresher, Jim Crow was the name given to a caste system of southern voting suppression along racial lines. This included executions, as well as lynchings. It was evil.
Georgia’s new Democratic senator, Raphael Warnock, invoked the Jim Crow label as well, as did several "voting rights" groups in Georgia and at the federal level. Under pressure from media outlets, which are using the playbook of demanding that athletes and corporations speak out against laws they don’t agree with, Major League Baseball moved its All-Star Game from Atlanta to Coors Field in Colorado.
At MSNBC , Jessica Levinson wrote that "Georgia’s new voting laws are restrictive, harmful and racist. They also should have been avoidable." MSNBC host Joy Reid, always the sane voice of reason on these topics, tweeted that "Jim Crow is alive and well in Georgia. Somebody call Jim Eagle."
But here's a question: If Jim Crow has been reenacted, as President Biden and his party have declared, why is there record turnout for early voting in Georgia?
