“My response is that the bill in Georgia is far too weak,” Trump told Fox host Sean Hannity during an extensive interview at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, where he now lives.
“This is just where you need signature verification. They do not have it. Why do they not have signature verification? You want to match. You want matching signatures. They have a lot of things they did not put in. Look, what happened is the governor and others were afraid of being called racists. ‘
Earlier this year, Georgia lawmakers passed a bill to review local election laws, tighten registration requirements for voting and scale down other voters’ access measures, such as the period during which a Georgia resident can apply for a vote. to shorten.
Critics say the bill is unfairly aimed at minority voters who in some cases do not have personal identification or reliable transportation to a polling station.

“This law, like so many others followed by Republicans in state houses across the country, is a blatant attack on the Constitution and good conscience,” Biden said. “It must end. We have a moral and constitutional obligation to act.”
The portion of the bill was also widely condemned by the corporate business world, while large companies in Georgia, such as Coca-Cola and Delta Airlines, exploded the measure.
Trump and other Republicans have suggested that such strict voting restrictions are necessary to combat the fraud that they say is ripe in modern elections and characterized the setback against the Georgia bill as a symptom of the so-called “cancel culture.”
“So they gave a very weak account,” Trump said Monday. “And they’re called racists anyway. They had a much stronger account a few weeks before this one came out.”
The former president suggested that the biased fight over Georgia voter legislation shows that “the Democrats are playing a much harder game than the Republicans.”
