The state of Georgia enacted election reform legislation, signed into law last week, that has drawn harsh criticism from the left. President Joe Biden and others have likened it to the Jim Crow era.

What does the election law accomplish, and how is Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp responding to the criticism?

"The bill makes it easy to vote and hard to cheat," he said. "It replaces an arbitrary signature match on absentee ballots by mail with the voter ID, which is free in Georgia."

Kemp joins "The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss what's in the new law, and contrary to what its critics claim, what's not.

We also cover these stories:

• Kemp says calls to boycott businesses in Georgia over the newly passed election law, which strengthens voting regulations, are “ridiculous.” 
• The United States has signed on with 13 other countries indicating concerns about a report from the World Health Organization regarding where the coronavirus came from. 
• The Biden administration announced Tuesday that it plans to take action to combat anti-Asian violence in America.
