Psaki doubles in measurement after an intensive fact-finding on Biden’s voting feedback in Georgia

White House press secretary Jen Psaki fueled the president’s criticism of Georgia’s new electoral law, even after a fact-check revealed his line of attack was wrong.

President Biden claimed that Georgian law prevented people from providing food and water to voters while they stood in line. He also accused the Republican-led state of ending the 5pm vote “when people are leaving work.”

Georgian law actually standardizes what is considered “normal business hours” to 9 am-5pm, but allowed counties to extend their voting hours to 7am and 7pm. Additionally, election workers can also provide self-service water from an unattended container within 150 feet, but prohibit people from actively distributing food and drinks at that distance.

On Thursday, Psaki did not step back from Biden’s comments, but defended them.

“It standardizes the end of voting at five every day, doesn’t it?” Psaki asked Edward Lawrence of FOX Business while referring to the law. “There are only options. There are options to expand it, right, but it standardizes it to five. It also makes it so that outside groups can’t provide water or food to people in line, right?”

Their comments came after the Washington Post gave Biden four Pinocchios for his voting time claim.

“Biden made his complaint about a blow to the working people,” wrote Glenn Kessler of the Post. “The law would ‘end the vote at five o’clock when working people are just leaving work’ or ‘end polling hours early so that working people can’t vote after their shift is over'”.

“Many listeners might assume he was talking about voting on election day, not early voting. But the hours on election day were not changed. As for early voting, the law made a modest change, replacing vaguely ‘normal business hours ‘- probably 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. – to a more precise period of 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. But that’s the minimum. “
