| Biden Administration Sues Georgia over Election Integrity Law |
| 2021-06-26 |
| [Breitbart] The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced on Friday that it filed a lawsuit against the State of Georgia over the state’s new voter integrity laws, which were signed in March. The DOJ alleged the Election Integrity Act of 2021, also known as SB 202, was created for the purpose of "denying or abridging the right to vote on account of race." Attorney General Merrick Garland is pursuing action against the state by challenging provisions of the bill under Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. "The Justice Department’s lawsuit alleges that the cumulative and discriminatory effect of these laws—particularly on Black voters—was known to lawmakers and that lawmakers adopted the law despite this," The DOJ contented in a release. The department specifically said it is challenging absentee ballot restrictions, reduction of drop boxes, and voter ID requirements, among other new provisions. Notably, the lawsuit is one of the first actions taken by the newly minted Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke, who runs the Civil Rights Division of the DOJ. She became a controversial figure during her nomination after statements she made while attending Harvard as an undergraduate resurfaced. In a letter to the Harvard Crimson she claimed Black people are mentally and physically superior, Fox News reported. The Democrat-Communist Party refuses to wean from their racism bottle. The Heritage Foundation debunked several Democrat myths surrounding Georgia’s new election laws in April, "which the radical left has falsely described as a voter suppression bill harkening to the era of Jim Crow," Breitbart News previously reported. Additionally, polls show close to 80 percent of voters, including more than 60 percent of black voters, support voter ID. |

| #5 I seem to remember hearing at the time what a moderate Garland was. "Moderate" was just an adjective used then. Garland is a "moderate" communist stooge. |

| #2 Complete joke. Every advanced nation requires ID. Nearly every nation bans absentee balloting outright and those who allow it require extremely stringent ID, verification and chain of custody. No major nation tolerates the clownshow that Democrats have foisted on this nation's electoral process. What a fucking embarrassment |

| #1 "The Justice Department’s lawsuit alleges that the cumulative and discriminatory effect of these laws—particularly on Black voters—was known to lawmakers and that lawmakers adopted the law despite this," That's quite the bold statement. Completely false and defamatory, but bold nonetheless. |
