Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar and Senate Democrats are trying to reinvigorate their struggling campaign to pass elections legislation, convening a committee hearing in Georgia on Monday to highlight Republican-led changes in the state.
The new state law, which Democrats have derided as an attack on voting rights, followed former President Donald Trump's outrage over losing Georgia in last year's presidential election and his false claims about widespread fraud. "We shed a light on a really bad law that was specifically intended to disenfranchise voters and make it harder to vote," Klobuchar, a Democrat, said in an interview after the hearing of the Senate Rules Committee she chairs.
Voter fraud claims call not only a city/state's voters' integrity into question, but the integrity of that city/state's entire election system. They're serious charges, and they can't be levied without real evidence.
Hopefully Georgia, as well as the states whose probes into alledged voter fraud produced no evidence, will serve as examples against making baseless fraud claims in elections.
Thank you Senator. Losing a state in an election cannot be immediate grounds for making claims of voter fraud.
