It was the U.S. Department of Justice under Joe Biden that launched a war against the state of Georgia’s election-integrity plans.
WorldNetDaily reported that Biden’s DOJ schemed with the likes of the ACLU and the discredited Southern Poverty Law Center to attack the state law, and then tried to conceal its communications by claiming they were protected from public disclosure.
It was Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger who pursued Freedom of Information Act processes to uncover that DOJ worked with “some of the biggest names in the liberal legal advocacy world,” such as the NAACP, the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, and others, on the agenda.
But now that war is over, a conclusion decided by the same Department of Justice, but now under President Donald Trump.
The American Center for Law and Justice revealed that Attorney General Pam Bondi directed the DOJ to dismiss its “meritless” lawsuit over Georgia Senate Bill 202, acknowledging that the Biden administration “falsely accused Georgia of intentionally suppressing Black voters’ votes.”
The ACLJ reported, “This complete vindication of Georgia’s election integrity laws – and the dismissal of all federal claims challenging Georgia’s election laws – represents a triumph for the constitutional principles the ACLJ has steadfastly defended since filing our amicus brief in this case on behalf of 57 Members of Congress.”
The DOJ, in fact, said, “The Biden administration fabricated an untrue narrative following the passage of Senate Bill 202 and sued the state of Georgia, claiming without evidence that SB 202 was an intentional scheme to ‘depress the Black vote’ and referring to the basic election legislation as ‘Jim Crow 2.0.’”
The ACLJ said, “This admission confirms what the ACLJ argued from the beginning – that this lawsuit was not about protecting voting rights, but about federal overreach designed to prevent states from implementing commonsense election security measures. The Biden DOJ weaponized federal litigation to attack a state for exercising its clear constitutional authority under the Elections Clause.”
Bondi pointed out, “Black voter turnout actually increased under SB 202,” demolishing the Biden administration’s made-up claims.
“The reality is that ‘SB 202’s commonsense reforms – photo ID for all voting, strengthened absentee ballot procedures, and rapid reporting of results – spurred record voter turnout, including among black Georgians,’” the report said.
The report said the Elections Clause gives state legislatures – not federal bureaucrats or activist judges – primary authority to regulate the “times, places, and manner” of elections.
The DOJ’s new statement said it now is “done with this disgrace” and instead will work to dismantle “weaponized litigation.”
“Instead of wasting time on false, divisive lawsuits, the Department of Justice will continue to root out real discrimination, promote common-sense election safeguards, and ensure equality for every American,” the report said.
