DOJ Dismisses Biden-Era Lawsuit Against Georgia Election Law

Attorney General Pam Bondi has instructed the Department of Justice to dismiss a lawsuit filed against Georgia's Senate Bill 202, which the Biden administration alleged suppressed Black voter turnout. Critics labeled the law as 'Jim Crow 2.0' due to its restrictions on absentee voting and the provision of food and water to voters in line. Despite these claims, data showed an increase in Black voter turnout following the law's enactment. The DOJ under Bondi criticized the Biden administration for spreading false narratives about voter suppression. The legislation led to significant backlash, including the relocation of the 2021 MLB All-Star Game from Atlanta, causing economic losses. However, the DOJ maintains that SB 202's reforms have strengthened election integrity without disenfranchising voters.
