One would think that Biden would blast his own State of Delaware first as


their early voting rules are even more restrictive than Georgia. This has nothing to do with voting rights and everything to do with changing voting rules. He’s purely a political animal with no desire to lead the entire country.


“Biden has called Georgia’s voting law “Jim Crow in the 21st century.”

Unlike Georgia, however, Biden’s home state of Delaware has never allowed early in-person voting. The state will begin to do so in 2022, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

“I was just actually looking at a comparison of the two states that somebody did [that] one of our legislators … sent out,” Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, a Republican, told The Daily Signal last week. “It’s really interesting, especially when you look at the opportunities to vote early in our state versus Delaware. I mean, it’s a world of difference. The president should be worried about his own state, not the great state of Georgia.”

Moreover, even when Delaware does allow it, Georgia will still provide seven more days of early in-person voting than the state the president represented in the Senate from 1973 to 2009.

“Delaware offers early voting beginning in 2022 for 10 days before the election, a little more than half the number of days for early voting in Georgia,” said Snead, of the Honest Elections Project. “This undercuts the narrative that Georgia is trying to restrict voting.”

Similar to Georgia, Delaware under its new law will allow Saturday and Sunday voting.

The Washington Post’s fact-check columnist who gave Biden “four Pinocchios,” the newspaper’s highest rating for a falsehood, noted:

We were curious what the early-voting rules were in Delaware, Biden’s home state. It turns out Delaware did not allow any in-person early voting in 2020. A law signed in 2019 will permit early voting starting in 2022. (Voting hours are 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Election Day.)

Delaware, the first state to ratify the U.S. Constitution, is among the last in the country to allow early voting, as 43 states allow it in some form, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. The average for early voting is 19 days.”
