Biden is hiding out at Camp David, so his surrogates are out of the country and lying to black people today about voting laws meant to make elections more secure.
US Attorney Merrick Garland gave remarks about “Bloody Sunday” at Tabernacle Baptist Church in Selma, Alabama.
Garland told black churchgoers that voter ID requirements are “discriminatory” and that he is fighting to stop repressive laws.
“The right to vote is the cornerstone of our democracy, the right from which all other rights flow. It is a right that members of this community have bled for,” Garland told churchgoers.
Kamala Harris spoke in Selma, Alabama, on the 59th anniversary of “Bloody Sunday.”
Harris lied about Georgia's voting laws.
Her strange accent returned.
“Today, in states across our nation, extremists have passed bad drop box laws, restricted early voting and restricted absentee ballots,” Harris said in a strange tone. “In Georgia, extremists passed a law making it illegal to give people food and water while they stand in line to exercise their civic duty and right to vote.”
Harris's tone became stronger: “What happened to loving your neighbor? Hypocrisy abounds!”
He watches:

Kamala Harris is lying, of course.
A Georgia law signed by Gov. Brian Kemp (R) states that no person may “engage in the furnishing of any money or gifts, including, but not limited to, food or drink, to a voter, nor may any person request signatures on any petition”. No person, other than election officials carrying out their duties, may establish or prepare any tables or booths on any day on which votes are to be cast (1) within 150 feet of the outside edge of any building within which a polling place is located. Established; (2) inside any polling place; or (3) within 25 feet of any voter standing in line to vote at any polling place.
However, poll workers are permitted to provide “self-serve water from an unattended receptacle to a voter waiting in line to vote.”
