Democrats warned the legislation would usher in a new era of \u201cJim Crow 2.0.\u201d President Joe Biden said it would make that previous era of American history look like \u201cJim Eagle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, despite those predictions <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/2022-election\/early-voting-breaks-records-georgia-bitter-senate-race-tests-red-blue-rcna55810\">more than two million people voted<\/a> via early voting and absentee ballots, smashing previous records in the process for the general election.<\/p>\n<p>When asked about that fact and Biden\u2019s previous comments prior to the general election, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre implied that the state\u2019s voting law hampered the ability to vote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs you know, I have to be careful. I cannot get into politics from here,\u201d Jean-Pierre said, \u201cThe president has been very clear that based on the \u2018Big Lie\u2019 there have been a host of anti-voter policies forced on states that challenge America\u2019s fundamental right to vote, the access to voting. So this is against our most basic values, including respect for the law and the constitution.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jean-Pierre also claimed that record turnout doesn\u2019t disprove voter suppression.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSpeaking generally of course, but more broadly, high turnout and voter suppression can take place at the same time,\u201d she added. \u201cOne doesn\u2019t have to happen on its own. They can be happening at the same time, but I will leave it there without being able to really dig into the politics of this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Warnock, the\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/the-raphael-warnock-file\">53-year-old reverend<\/a>\u00a0from Atlanta, Georgia, was first elected to the Senate on January 5, 2021, after defeating GOP candidate\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/topic\/kelly-loeffler\">Kelly Loeffler<\/a>\u00a0in a run-off election. Loeffler had been appointed to serve until an election, having replaced the late Johnny Isakson.<\/p>\n<p>As a newcomer into politics, Walker spent much of his campaign tying Warnock to unpopular President Joe Biden and painted the Democrat as a divisive, out-of-touch progressive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSenator Warnock believes America is a bad country full of racist people,\u201d Walker said in one ad. \u201cI believe we\u2019re a great country full of generous people. Warnock wants to divide us. I want to bring us together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After neither candidate secured more than 50% of the vote on November 8, the race officially moved to a runoff election.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats currently have a 50-49 seat advantage.
