Biden attacks Georgia and the state then joins the legal fight against this authoritarian administration. More states to follow. This lawsuit will not stand.

FNC: “Georgia’s top elected officials are slamming the Department of Justice’s decision to sue the state over its new Election Integrity Act, saying that it’s a blatantly political lawsuit. DOJ announced Friday that it is suing Georgia over the state’s new election law, alleging Republican state lawmakers rushed through a sweeping overhaul with an intent to deny Black voters equal access to the ballot. Georgia’s new voting law has received heavy criticism from Democrats and large corporations over the last few months due to the expansive powers granted to the state over local election offices. Among the most high-profile provisions of the controversial new election law is a change in how the state verifies the identity of voters who request and cast absentee ballots. The law eliminates signature matching and requires an ID to vote, if an individual has one.

This change has been criticized by many as likely to make it more difficult for Georgians, specifically minorities who are more likely to vote Democratic, to vote by mail. However, the law also provides Georgia voters who don’t have a photo ID with a plethora of different options to confirm their identity when requesting a ballot.”

The Biden administration is suing Georgia, alleging its new voting law aims to restrict the rights of Black voters. Republican Gov. Brian Kemp said the lawsuit is "born out of the lies and misinformation the Biden administration has pushed." https://t.co/VmFZO0Ukfy

“Where we believe the rights of civil rights of Americans have been violated we will not hesitate to act,” Attorney General Merrick Garland said, as he sought to undermine democracy in Georgia. The Georgia AG won’t have it.

Georgia state Attorney General Chris Carr fired back, describing the lawsuit as simply a “political campaign flier,” that will not be upheld in a court of law.

“The Justice Department is wrong: factually, legally and constitutionally. Georgia’s law clearly strengthens security, expands access and improves transparency in our elections. Merrick Garland said he was going to depoliticize the Justice Department yet files this blatantly political lawsuit. It is disappointing for those of us who respect the rule of law, because this is not a lawsuit, it is a political campaign flier. Falsely using race to scare people of color into believing their vote will not be counted is irresponsible and fundamentally wrong.”
