Summary

Georgia state Sen. John Albers says the media got a lot wrong in covering Georgia's election legislation. "The media missed most of it," Albers told "The Daily Signal Podcast." "They had written up their talking points before the bill was even passed. In fact, even before the bill was created, they already had a narrative against the bill, even though when they looked at the bill and many of them made comments, they were false." Albers joins the podcast to discuss what Georgia's new election law is really about. We also cover these stories: Florida takes steps to further secure its elections. Secretary of State Antony Blinken says the U.S. supports Ukraine as Russian troops continue to be deployed along the Russia-Ukraine border. The Texas state Senate passes a bill to allow those 21 or older to carry a handgun without a permit. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad choices.
