In an Op-Ed for The Washington Post, Gabriel Sterling wrote about the similarities between the lies Biden is spreading about Georgia’s new election law and what he called the misinformation spread by President Donald Trump after the 2020 election.
Sterling said he made the prediction months ago, “Someone is going to get hurt,” when talking about the misinformation regarding the 2020 election. He said, “I was horrified to see it come true on Jan. 6.”
“Though I have not received any threats yet, thankfully, that same foreboding is creeping up again as the president of the United States and others once again spread lies about what is going on in Georgia,” Sterling wrote. “So I plead with the president once again: Someone is going to get hurt. Your words matter. The facts matter.”
Sterling pointed out that the “early voting hours were expanded by adding an extra mandatory Saturday of early voting and continuing to allow Sunday voting.”
He included that “early voting hours must be open from at least 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.,” which he claims to be “a step up from the ‘normal business hours’ required by previous law.” The new law even allows counties to “extend those hours to 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., as many have done in the past.”
Sterling said the law is written differently than he would have had it written, but the law “is not what President Biden claims.” He added that everyone should “turn down the rhetoric” no matter what side you’re on, “let’s tell the truth,” and “let’s make elections boring again.”
