On Friday, Attorney General Merrick Garland announced the Department of Justice is suing Georgia over its new voting law passed in March.
The Hill reports:
“Today, the Department of Justice is suing the state of Georgia,” Garland said. “Our complaint alleges that recent changes to Georgia’s election laws were enacted with the purpose of denying or abridging the right of black Georgians to vote on account of their race or color, in violation of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act.”
The Georgia law, passed in March along party lines in the span of just a few hours, imposes restrictions that voting rights groups say will fall most heavily on minorities: It sets new voter ID requirements for absentee ballots, limits drop boxes and even bars passing out food and water to those waiting in line to vote.
In a speech earlier this month Garland pointed to 14 “new laws that make it harder to vote,” vowing to scrutinize “current laws and practices in order to determine whether they discriminate against Black voters and other voters of color.”
Georgia Republicans argued the law was needed to protect voter integrity. Its swift passage into law followed a loss by former President Trump in the state, followed by claims of election fraud from Trump along with a call from him to Georgia’s Secretary of State asking him to “find” the president votes.
The lawsuit is being overseen by Kristen Clarke, the head of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, and Vanita Gupta, the associate attorney general, both longtime civil rights lawyers.
Trump slammed the development in a statement from his Save America PAC:
“Biden’s Department of Justice just announced that they are suing the Great State of Georgia over its Election Integrity Act. Actually, it should be the other way around! The PEOPLE of Georgia should SUE the State, and their elected officials, for running a CORRUPT AND RIGGED 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION—and for trying to suppress the VOTE of the AMERICAN PEOPLE in Georgia,” Trump wrote. “If we don’t address these issues from the 2020 Election head on, and we allow the Radical Left Democrats to continue to politicize the DOJ and Law Enforcement, we will lose our Country. SAVE AMERICA!”
Gee…..What a surprise……..Crooks gonna Crook…….
With this upside-down government, what would you expect? Truth, honesty, and integrity are foreign to these people.
Politicians used to hide their crooked ways. Not anymore
SCOTUS is all CATHOLIC. Have you ever heard of a CATHOLIC anything that was not corrupt? Vote Accordingly.
Those cowards are NOMINAL “catholics” that LIE for the father of lies.
You CANNOT be a proabort & faithful Catholic!!
So, please quit the prejudice & see that, Mother Angelica, who founded EWTN, for example is a faithful Catholic. Thanks
Please dont lump all human beings the same. Biden may have been born Catholic but he was a freemason, as are most of these evil people. he left Gods laws long ago on the ladder to wealth and Pedophilia. There are many good Catholics who wouldn’t hurt a fly! Same with Pelosi and Newsome, Cuomo brothers and others who quickly learnt that money talks. Their God is money
Just remember that now the SCOTUS is all CATHOLIC. Have you ever heard of a CATHOLIC anything that was not corrupt? Vote Accordingly.
LISTEN UP…The JUSTICE DEPT Can A LL JUMP into a LAKE With CROCODILES. THEY are CORRUPT. CROC Says….I am So HUNGRY…..I Could CRY. From SamuraiQueen. 😄😄😄
Pelosi is CATHOLIC. Newsome is CATHOLIC. SCOTUS is all CATHOLIC. Have you ever heard of a CATHOLIC anything that was not corrupt? Vote Accordingly.
What about Feinstein, Zuckerberg, Zucker, Schumer, Nadler, Epsteins? All supposed to be Jews but they are not! Zionists infiltrated the Jewish faith long ago including the evil Rothchild’s. The false Pope was put there by Soros. Another fake Jew
What do you expect? The SCOTUS is all CATOLIC… FBI is CATHOLIC, Have you ever seen anything CATHOLIC that was not corrupt. CA, NY, everything south of the USA!
I hope the courts throw out the case telling the feds they have no standing because the Constitution clearly leaves this up to the states. Now THAT would be justice!
That will happen
They just want to cheat their asses off again! The people of Ga should counter sue because this fringes on their rights!
Just imagine how bad it would be if this fool was on the Supreme Court? We dodged a bullet on that one. Unless they can find a crooked Federal Judge this goes no where. And if they do find a crooked Obama Judge then it goes to the Supreme Court and they won’t be able to ignore that one!
Only thing that scares me about the supreme court is roberts, kavanauh and barrett! They have become traitors to the patriots of America.
DITTO !
I believe Amy Comey Barrett was threatened with teh life of her children> But still a big disappointment. If people only knew what these Luciferans do. They threaten anyone in Official capacity with raping a child and killing a child then they take a video of it and use as blackmail
Gee, not a surprise at all. What a rotten state the Biden government is to sue over what is morally right. Georgia’s don’t cave into the crooks. Sue them for all their injustice of theft of an election.
time for the voters to take a stand on this,to go after Biden and his crooked minions and the puppet that pulled the strings.they knew ahead of time that cheating and fraud was being done so they need to be sued by the people.also the Governor needs to be thrown out and the State of election along with him and Staci Abrams and her sister Judge who wouldn’t let the recount .they all aren’t nothing but a bunch of corrupted lying Democrats
DEMOSHITS HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO CHEAT…IN 2022 THE DEMOCRAPS ARE HISTORY…
doj is FOS! They are suing because they know this will allow them to continue cheating with mail in ballots and no voter ID. Anyone with an ounce of brains can see the corruption is on the federal side and not the state side. Allowing this to happen is suicide for America!
“GOD Will rule against the wicked and Destroy them with The BREATH of HIS MOUTH. GOD Will be clothed with Fairness and Truth.”(Isaiah 11:4) These words of ALMIGHTY GOD are Decreed and Released throughout the DncDemocrats Hunter ,Joe Biden-Harris Pelosi Schumer Soros Obama Rice Nadler, Schaffer, Clintons, CNN, Dominion-Smartmatic voting ballots stealing cheating, Tech CEO’ Facebook-Mark, Twitter-Jack, and Everyone who is connected involved with these INCREDIBLE CORRUPT, WICKED DEEDS. GOD’S VENGEANCE OF DESTRUCTION is working to uproot All of these Rebels, Satan’s children. GOD’S PLANS FOR AMERICA-ISRAEL-THE EARTH MUST PREVAIL. I Agree with GOD’S PLANS for us, ALWAYS. I Decree in JESUS NAME.
They want to make it easier to cheat! These creatures want only to politically rape the people by forcing themselves on us! The people of Ga needs to sue these inuman creatures because we deserve a fair election!
i’m a rep ,looking at our country going soc,no thanks to those dems trying to keep in power,we will push those guys out of office in 2022
The more bull**** that comes out of Biden’s Depqrtment of (in)Justice, thw happier I am, that Merrick Garland’s appointment to the Supreme Court was scuttled. That asshat doesn’t deserve to be on a small claims court.
The Democrap Putz in Chief strikes again!
sounds racial to me are they saying that black people are not capable of getting an ID why would any one of any color not have an ID card these days the only time you dont need an ID is when your crossing the mexican boarder
Georgia already told this clown if you mess with Georgia you are going to prison – I guess we will see – The Constitution gives the states the right to minitor and make laws thus keeping the Government out of their business.Also how does that fool think bringing in security and integrity to the system make it racist – I hope he does go to prison – also IMPEACH Biden
Why is it you have to show ID when you buy airlines tickets and thing if your under 21 but it’s not ok to show ID to vote?
It just figures. The Demoncrats want to secure not election integrity but instead unfettered cheating. They will attack any attempts to keep elections clean and above board. If they get their way, America will founder and fall into the foul swill of socialism.
Totally criminal and unconstitutional. First they cheat. Now they’re caught. Now they are illegally interfering in what ALL CITIZENS DEMAND. HOW ABOUT WE GET 150 MILLION AMERICANS TO FORCE THE INCARCERATION OF THE FILTH TGAT IS DOJ. COMMUNIST MAGGOTS. WE KNOW, YOU KNOW, WOR;D KNOW YOU COMMITTED FEAUD TO STEAL GOVERNMENT. YOU WILL PAY.
Of course you will not allow integrity when you have none yourself!
Aren’t these same “people of color” required to have I.D. to apply for welfare, buy alcohol and cigarettes, drive a car, rent an apartment, or open a bank account? So why can’t they acquire and show I.D. to vote. How is that voter oppression?
Why do they insist it is so difficult to get a form of ID? You need an ID to fly, and in most states now, it is a special driver’s license. But I ddon’t see that being a problem for anyone. This is just blatantly admitting ‘anything goes’ just as it did in the 2020 so-called election. This tyrannical government knows we are aware of their chicanery. That is why they are so afraid of citizens owning guns.
So the D’Marxists want to usurp States Rights? That is unconstitutional. Sue the chit out of the Govt.
Limp brain Biden’s leftist liberal socialist communist government welcomes you to United States Soviet America!
I would like to ask how for an explanation of how the new law would deny the right of black Georgians to vote because of their race or color.
Oh, and I thought that the DOJ would be suing Delaware because it doesn’t make the accommodations for voters that the new Georgia law does. Silly me. I’m such an old attorney.
It’s shocking how the Democrats have gone so far down the hole of injustice. Their hateful approach of changes seeks to continue to divide people by color rather than unite our country. We can only hope the efforts by many to eliminate the incredible ‘fake’ results the last election has been decided upon one wonders how the hate will be overcome before our entire society is under the ‘control’ of these crooked politicians – GOD help us!!
Total Political Hit Job on the elections….. Democrats cheat every election…. this is one more example of their lies about voter suppression! They would have you think blacks are stupid, can’t figure out how to vote and that the Right doesn’t want them to vote… What garbage!
Biden regime had no legal standing we need to remove this regime before United States of America is toast.
They got caught with their fingers in the cookie jar so they want to destroy the broken jar!
I understand why the Republicans didn’t want Garland on the Supreme Court. He apparently doesn’t understand that what Georgia did belongs to the state. Setting days and times for early voting and requiring ID those requirements belong to the states. Location of drop boxes in secure locations can be set by the state legislature. When elections are held for federal office setting the date belongs to the federal government.
The Dept. of injustice is as crooked as the Biden crime syndicate
The whole premise of the suit is base on a lie !!!
Complaint alleges that recent changes to Georgia’s election laws were enacted with the purpose of denying or abridging the right of black Georgians to vote on account of their race or color, in violation of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act.”
FALSE !
They work so hard to promote ideology based their own prejudices, that they can’t see the destruction they are causing !!
We are actually seeing in real time just how good a justice Garland would make. He is all for taking away States Rights and letting Government run elections. How well did that work out for Venezuela? They will stop at nothing to get what they want; Total Control. We have work to do.
This will confirm that we have socialist/communist currently in power.
Counter sue the government!!
Boycott the MLB All Star game, don’t even watch on tv.
Every state do an honest audit and prove that Trump really won the election if only valid votes are counted.
Garland is another paranoid prevaricator with a D after his party affiliation. He will blindly follow the requests from the president, Communist Joe Biden. When the revolution against the democrat party communists that has already begun, becomes official, our republic and its patriots will see that equal justice is once again administered.
Joe Biden go suck your wife big toe,that’s only thing you can do right is suck,your no good at anything else,you can’t run a Government because you have a brain like dead fish.
Sleepy Joe Biden would fall into a barrel of Tatas and come up sucking his thumb!
I don’t think the DOJ and a-hole Garland have a leg to stand on. According to our Constitution states have the ability to determine their election criteria.
got to one crooked dummy to follow biden
This garbage is exactly why Merrick Garland was rejected for the Supreme court, and he needs to be disbarred for ignorance of the Constitution….
The DOJ interference with States election laws is TOTALLY illegal !
This shows why anyone wanting hold office in America needs to pass a test on the CONSTITUTION and do so with at least a grade of 85 or better. The CONSTITUTION leaves Voting Laws to the States. I won’t say what everyone knows to be TRUE that Democraps could NEVER pass a test on the CONSTITUTION no matter how low a score they could be given to meet. Sadly except for the few REAL REPUBLICANS(those who CHALLENGED that FARCE Democraps call the Election) this holds true for FAKE Republicans and RINOS as well. There also needs to a test for those wanting to vote. It should cover both the CONSTITUTION and what the important things affecting America. If they can not score at least a 75 they should not be voting. Many will say this is UNAmerican but having people vote for those like AOC or Nutsy who know NOTHING about the CONSTITUTION needs to be stopped. Anyone who knew the issues and the CONSTITUTION would NEVER have voted for Pedo Joe and the Ho because both are UNFIT for any office much less this Nation’s highest two.
Interfering in a states rights issue is the theme of this lawsuit of the octopus Dimocrat Federal narrative. Georgia only wants verification of the voter’s residency and their identification. Too many unverified mail in ballots resulted in Dumocrats stuffing the ballot box during the Wu Han Corona Virus pandemic. Many states had the same problem of Marxists overriding the State laws concerning elections. Don’t let this happen again or we are doomed to servitude!
Law’s Need to be Up Held against Corruption and Treason. Law’s are Not just for We the People. Why have law’s if they are Not gonna be Up Held.
Minority communities should be insulted by this administration’s assumption that they are not capable of securing an ID to vote. This attitude is no different than that of the slave masters who believed that their slaves should not have schooling because they felt they were not capable of learning.
Perhaps all the states should just declare that their voting laws be a mirror of Delaware’s, no early voting, no drop boxes, no no excuse mail in ballots and REQUIRES voter ID.
Suing a State for reinstating Constitutional Law? Thats interesting? communists and pedophiles (mostly one and the same) scared of truth?
sure lets pass out food and hell money to buy votes. You idiots those who are passong free stuff out aren’t doing it to help people (especially food, what morons), they are trying to influnce votes. Letsa do a study to see whom was passing what out? as far as mail in votes and drop boxes they should have strict requirements and I see why dems don’t want that because the only way the suoer rich, who have bought many politicians out but maily the dems lock stock and barrel, so to say, is so they can make sure thioer agendas get passed. Those agendas are not in the American citizens interests. No they want us to become a 3rd world country because they can make the most, control the easiest, and abuse the people the easiest ion these 3rd world countries. I say we investigate Garland and hang him as he is knowingly supporting a know lawsuit that has no merit except in today world of lies and his dog, hell all of the alphabet soup agencies (FBI, CIA, its, the ist goes on and on) have been bought and paid for and the leadership of all of the agencies shpuld be hung, Just sayin
Suing GA has nothing to do with election integrity and everything to do with allowing mass voter fraud.
