Yesterday, Washington Post Fact Checker Glenn Kessler awarded two Pinocchios to Gabriel Sterling, chief operating officer of the Georgia Secretary of State’s office, for claiming that Delaware prohibits food or water at polls, just like Georgia does.
Georgia’s new election law, of course, does no such thing. But some narratives are just too good to give up.
Occasionally, though, a Democratic narrative comes along that not even Glenn Kessler can let slide.
That’s what happened with Joe Biden’s repeated claim that Georgia’s new law ends voting hours at 5 p.m., giving people less time to vote and making it more difficult for working Georgians to get to polls before they close. Kessler and the Fact Checker team were left with no choice but to scratch their heads and wonder what the hell Joe Biden was talking about:

Shocker.
