In the lead up to polls closing in Georgia, MSNBC contributer Dr. Jason Johnson preemptively claimed that the results would not represent a "fair and equitable election."

Johnson, who teaches at Morgan State University's School of Global Journalism and Communication, suggested that voters were under attack as a result of laws passed by "election deniers" such as Governor Brian Kemp.



"One key thing," Johnson began. "It's almost 5 o'clock, right? In the state of Georgia ... they changed the state law so that you cannot get a provisional ballot in Georgia before 5 o'clock."

"So if you waited in line for two and a half hours, got there, and they said 'oh there's some sort of mistake,' you can't get a provisional ballot here."

A provisional ballot is used when there are questions regarding the voter's eligibility, due to lack of ID, outdated information, and other such factors. Those who use them can have their votes recorded, but it will only count if the issue is resolved.

Johnson went on to suggest that despite high levels of youth turnout, "the level of voter suppression is beyond anything that we saw in 2018," thus making it hard to predict who might come out on top.

Kemp's Democratic competitor, Stacey Abrams, has herself made similar statements since she lost that year.

"We can't say that whatever happens tonight is a fair and equitable election," he concluded, "because there have been too many laws passed by election deniers to keep people from being able to express themselves."

Many on the right were quick to point out that this is the exact sort of language the left had been accusing them of employing.



Glenn Greenwald, for example, wondered why this was not considered a "threat to democracy," as it often is when a Republican voices concern over elections.
