Georgia lawmakers move to restrict voting access

Georgia Republicans sped a sweeping elections bill into law that imposes new voter identification requirements for absentee ballots, empowers state officials to take over local elections boards, limits the use of ballot drop boxes and makes it a crime to approach voters in line to give them food and water. In President Biden’s first White House news conference he said he will “do anything” in his power to halt efforts to restrict voting rights. CNN Political Commentator Van Jones tells Anderson Cooper the new law is “an attack on democracy and civil rights.” Plus, Erika and Ellen Mahoney join AC360 to remember their dad and husband, Kevin Mahoney, who was one of the ten lives lost when a gunman opened fire in a Boulder grocery store.
