Cher accuses Republicans of trying to 'achieve the dream' of White supremacy with Georgia voting laws

Cher accused Republicans of trying to "achieve the dream" of White supremacy while discussing the new voting laws in Georgia.

The new law adds early voting access for most counties, adding an additional mandatory Saturday and codifying Sunday hours as optional, according to a report from Georgia Public Broadcasting. It also standardizes early voting hours from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. or as long as 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.; makes it mandatory to present a state-issued ID when requesting an absentee ballot; limits the number of drop boxes in the state, requiring them to be placed at early voting locations and only available while the precinct is open; and prohibits handing out food and water within 150 feet of the polling place or 25 feet of any voter in line, although poll workers are exempted. On Saturday, the "Turn Back Time" singer took to Twitter to criticize the new laws as "voter suppression." She also alleged that "immoral Republicans" are using this to promote White supremacy and prevent the Black community in the state, which flipped blue in the 2020 general election in November, from voting easily.
