The Department of Justice is suing Georgia, alleging a recently passed election law violates the Voting Rights Act's protections for minority voters, Attorney General Merrick Garland announced Friday.

"Where we see violations of federal law, we will act," Garland said at a press conference.

Garland alleged Georgia's election reform law was enacted "with the purpose of denying or abridging the right of Black Georgians to vote on account of their race or color."

He called the Justice Department's new lawsuit "the first of many steps we are taking to ensure that all eligible voters can cast a vote."

Garland announced the federal suit about three months after Republican Gov. Brian Kemp of Georgia signed the election overhaul bill passed by the GOP-controlled legislature.

The law reportedly enacts a slew of restrictive and potentially confusing measures that critics allege will harm turnout, especially in Democrat-and-minority-heavy urban and suburban counties.

The changes sparked a national outcry from Democrats and voting-rights groups. Major businesses and organizations such as Coca-Cola and the NCAA also protested the Peach State's action.

Georgia is not alone in enacting voter restrictions. Florida's Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a similar law in May, while other state legislatures across the country are considering legislation.

In Texas, Democrats recently thwarted passage of a restrictive voting bill. Republican Gov. Greg Abbott has vowed to revive it.

Garland promised Friday that the Biden administration's Justice Department is "scrutinizing new laws that seek to curb voter access."

I would love to punch this fucker square in the nose and remind him that regulations via executive fiat are not "federal law"...they are but regulations, and the executive has been abusing this loophole for too long now.

So what exactly did Georgia pass and what specifically do they have an issue with? Once again just calling stuff "restrictive" and implying it's racist without stating any facts.

but since georgia is a valuable place that globohomo has a foothold...

Federal voting regulations should be ruled unconstitutional to begin with. If the government is subservient to the people, then why should the federal government have a say in how it's positions are filled? Those regulations belong to the states.

If they were that concerned with voting regulations being violated OBiden would still be in a basement.

georgia voting standards are so shitty that even new york's are better - basically they're going after them for trying to bring their laws up to speed (and I say that half jokingly, as if up to speed were to the extent of our capabilities)



in a nutshell, the traitors rely on electoral and voter fraud very heavily to win places like Georgia, and they do not want it to be made more difficult for them to ensure that the candidates who paid up, get seated.

(you may roll your eyes at the notion, but make no mistake this is reality on planet earth)

The Election Integrity Act of 2021, originally known as Georgia Senate Bill 202,[1][2] is a Georgia law overhauling elections in the state. It requires voter identification requirements on absentee ballots, limits the use of ballot drop boxes, expands early in-person voting, bars officials from sending out unsolicited absentee ballot request forms, reduces the amount of time people have to request an absentee ballot, increases voting stations or staff and equipment where there have been long lines, makes it a crime for outside groups to give free food or water to voters waiting in line, gives the state legislature greater control over election administration, and shortens runoff elections, among other provisions.[3][4][5]

The bill is part of broader Republican efforts to restore integrity to elections following efforts to overturn the victory of Democratic candidate Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election (which focused in particular on Georgia and several other swing states) using claims of widespread election fraud.[6][7][8][9] Additionally, it follows a major upset for Republicans in the traditionally red state after voters narrowly went for Democratic candidate Joe Biden in the presidential election and elected Democrats to both of the state's Senate seats.[10] According to the New York Times, the bill "will, in particular, curtail ballot access for voters in booming urban and suburban counties, home to many Democrats".[3]

The bill has generated significant controversy, with President Joe Biden labeling the bill "Jim Crow in the 21st century".[11] Georgia governor Brian Kemp has called criticism of the bill "disingenuous and completely false", and has argued that it differs little from voting laws in most other states.[12][13] The Department of Justice announced in June 2021 it was suing Georgia on the basis the law is racially discriminatory.[14]

>Russia Calls America a ‘Liberal Totalitarian State’ with a ‘Monopoly on the Media’ and ‘Irremovability of Oligarchic Elites’

“It is astonishing to see how the West is trying to divide our diverse world into two completely artificial camps – a supposedly democratic one and a supposedly authoritarian one,” Russian Director of the Foreign Intelligence Service Sergey Naryshkin said.

In recent weeks, Russian President Vladimir Putin has stepped into the leadership void left by the delegitimized puppet propped up by globalists as the figurehead of America, Joe Biden, struggles to spit out a coherent sentence. Putin has taken a stand for dissidents in America who are being punished for opposing a blatant third-world vote steal that was clearly given a green light by institutional power, a remarkable stance considering Putin and the Kremlin’s own record of suppressing political opposition.

Big League Politics has reported on Putin going to bat for Trump supporters who are being treated like domestic terrorists when even most Republicans are happy to look the other way:

“We are ready to talk, we have no taboo topics. We will discuss whatever we think is necessary. We will be ready to answer the questions that the American side will raise. This also applies to human rights,” Lavrov said during a press conference that took place on Monday in Moscow.

“For example, we are following with interest the persecution of those persons who are accused of the riots on January 6 this year,” Lavrov continued, adding that “a lot of really interesting things are happening from the point of view of the rights of the opposition and protecting those rights” in the U.S…
