DOJ Sues Georgia Over Voting Law

Posted on 1 year ago by Red Paper News

Attorney General announced Friday that the DOJ is suing the state of Georgia over its controversial law that imposes restrictions on voting.

Garland said “Today, the Department of Justice is suing the state of Georgia.”

“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,” he added.

Per The Hill “The Georgia law, S.B. 202, 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.”

“The suit is the first from the Justice Department to challenge an influx of state laws they say will limit access to the ballot, with the case largely built on claims the Georgia law was passed with a racial discriminatory intent,” the report adds.
