Joe Biden, President of the United States

“This year alone, 17 states have enacted — not just proposed, but enacted — 28 new laws to make it harder for Americans to vote.”

PolitiFact rated this: Not all equally restrictive

PolitiFact says: About two-thirds of the laws enacted tighter restrictions. However, about a quarter of the laws would have only a speculative impact on voting access, and a few included expansions along with restrictions.

Washington Post rated this: Three Pinocchios

Washington Post says: He's using a number for 2027 -- far in the future -- that only emerges because of a quirk in how the bill was drafted.
