| Federal judge rejects Biden DOJ's claim that Georgia's voter ID law is racist |
| 2023-10-15 |
| [Post Millennial h/t Gates of Vienna] A federal court struck down a lawsuit backed by the Biden administration which claimed Georgia's new election integrity laws are discriminatory towards black voters. Judge J.P. Boulee issued the ruling for the US District Court for the Northern District of Georgia on Wednesday. According to The Federalist, Judge Boulee said that the Biden administration and other Democratic groups "failed to show a substantial likelihood of success on the merits as to their claims that the provisions intentionally discriminate against black voters in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment, Fifteenth Amendment and Section 2 of the [Voting Rights Act]." ...In March 2021, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) signed Senate Bill 202 into law which aims to protect the sanctity of Georgia elections. The bill, also known as the Election Integrity Act, mandates voter ID for absentee voting, bans ballot harvesting, increases security at ballot drop boxes, tightens the timeframe in which absentee voters can request a ballot, and increases regulations around provisional ballots. Judge J.P. Boulee is a Trump appointee. Thank you, President Trump The bill also places restrictions on campaign activities and public opinion polling within the vicinity of a polling place. For example, voters can not receive gifts or money within 150 feet of a polling location.
