Voting rights activist Stacey Abrams educated Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) about election laws
Voting rights activist Stacey Abrams educated Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) about election laws at a Senate Judiciary hearing on Tuesday.
Graham began his questioning of Abrams by asking her about her support for voter identification.
"Yes," Abrams said. "There are 35 states in the United States that have had voter identification laws. In fact, every state requires some form of identification. What I've objected to is restrictive voter identification laws that narrow the set of permissible materials."
"The answer is yes as a concept," Graham interrupted. "Do you support the idea that voting should be limited to American citizens?"
"Yes," Abrams replied.
"Do you support ballot harvesting?" Graham asked.
Abrams noted that "ballot harvesting" is a "term of art that's been propagated to describe a variety efforts."
She argued that so-called ballot harvesting is "appropriate" in some circumstances where voters would not otherwise have their votes counted
"Racial animus exists," the brilliant voting rights activist explained to the white man from the South
