What to Expect at Senate Panel’s Hearing on Election Integrity Law
District of Columbia | April 20, 2021
The Senate Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing Tuesday to discuss a purported “assault on the right to vote.”
The hearing, dubbed “Jim Crow 2021: The Latest Assault on the Right to Vote,” comes as the far left continues to criticize Georgia’s new election integrity law.
Stacey Abrams, the Democrat who lost the 2018 governor’s race in Georgia and the founder of Fair Fight Action, and Sen. Raphael Warnock, D-Ga., are scheduled to testify to senators.
Hans von Spakovsky, a senior legal fellow in the Meese Center for Legal and Judicial Studies at The Heritage Foundation, joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to explain what to expect at the Senate hearing. The Daily Signal is Heritage’s multimedia news outlet.
Von Spakovsky also unpacks arguments for and against Georgia’s new election law and explains why it should not be likened to Jim Crow laws.
