Department of Justice sues Georgia over voting law

HAPPENING: AG Garland announces the DOJ is suing the state of Georgia over an election integrity law which requires voter ID, clamps down on unsolicited absentee ballots, and prohibits giving gifts to voters who are standing in line waiting to vote. pic.twitter.com/L0m9Lv0xUN

The federal government seems to really want to take over elections as Department of Justice sues Georgia over voting law that secures the election more.
Democrat attempts to prevent states from setting their own voting laws is probably the scariest thing this year.

This will go nowhere butt Merrick Garland losing before the Supreme Court he was denied entry to will be legendary.

Georgia's voting law unnecessarily makes it more difficult to vote, particularly for urban voters and Black voters. The law was created by Republicans in response to Democrats including Joe Biden winning the state, not in response to voter fraud. There is no evidence of widespread fraud in the state. Hell, the law makes it a crime to give food/water to people waiting in line (urban voters and Black voters are most likely to have to wait in long lines, and the lines are likely to be even longer as a consequence of this law).

If the lawsuit by the Justice Department is anything like the ACLU lawsuit, Georgia's voting law is being challenged because of its racially discriminatory voting rules. That's in violation of the 14th Amendment and the Voting Rights Act.

There is nothing in the 10th Amendment that allows for violations of the 14th Amendment and Voting Rights Act.

How dare people have to use an ID to vote HOW DARE THEY

yea..HOW DARE THEY...
just LIKE having sunday voting
or have election day a holiday
or elimiating multiple voting site for large urban areas.
or forcing long lInes in minority areas,
OR not allowing charity groups to give water for those long lines
or forcing Handicap voters jump thru hoops.
or being illegal to drop of multiple family absentee ballots off...
OR switching voting polls to different location without properly advising citizens ..
or stating flat out admitting racist motives

“a lot of people out there … are too lazy to get up and get out there and get the ID they need.” - Daryl Metcalfe, a member of Pennsylvania’s House of Representatives

“Politics is a zero-sum game. And every extra vote they get through unlawful interpretation of Section 2 hurts us, it’s the difference between winning an election 50-49 and losing an election 51 to 50-GOP attorney Michael Carvin

Beside all that..... the DOJ does not have a case..!

Their people here arguing that minorities are too stupid to function in society without govt help.

Amazing expected no less from the Party that created the KKK

Nobody said or suggested that.

It sounds like you need to read up on the party realignment that occurred, in part, as a result of the Civil Rights Act being signed by a Democratic president. In short, the racist Democrats who were against the Civil Rights Act turned into Republicans.

 

[gudenau]

Yeah this needs to be struck down, it's just plain unconstitutional and anti-American.

Hopefully all of this mess gets straightened out a bit before the next big election.

 

[Valwinz]

Per DOJ - Black people apparently aren’t able to: - get IDs - request absentee ballots on time - mail in their ballots on time - access the internet

I knew Democrats were racist and the party that founded the KKK but wow

Hopefully a judge will throw this out for lack of standing and been flat out racist .

Will keep posting update when something else happens

YES great point Valwinz! thats why the DOJ needs to make sure JimCrow laws dont pop up again

And that's exactly what these stupid laws are. Got to hate how so many members of this country are so dead set on regressing.

I don't see any problem with Georgia's new voting law. You will need an ID to register to vote and it clamps down on outside interference. All these cries from the Liberal left about having to stand in line don't matter much to me. I stand in line at the Airport, DMV, Grocery Store, Bank, Sporting Events, etc ...

The thing that cracks me up is the fact that the Left seems to think that minorities don't have the capability to obtain an ID or register to vote by themselves. What a racist bunch of assholes.

Remember when the conservative SCOTUS justices repealed the Voting Rights Act because, "states can now be trusted to not enact voter suppression legislation that targets minorities?" Even though the confederate flag was still a part of certain state flags then?

Good times. /s

You need an ID for the registration, the entire point of the registration is to be the ID to vote. And why do so many people seem to think it is a good idea to make it harder and physically taxing on people to vote? That is the opposite of what you want to do in any place that has ballots. Sure this system is far from perfect but these anti-voter laws fly in the face of any fair system. The same sorts of things apply for the mail in ballots. Not everyone feels safe voting, heck the last time I went out to vote there where people carrying giant guns for no reason other than to intimidate people. I would rather just be able to fill out a ballot in mail it in. Mail in ballots are especially important especially with the pandemic that has been going on for over a year, if you don't want to risk getting sick or if you are sick it would be great to be able to vote without the extra risk.

Fun fact, the red flag with the blue and white stared cross is not the correct flag.

The thing is all these cries about making the election "harder" to participate in are falling on deaf ears as the new laws cut down on outside influence and tighten up the requirement of having an ID. In my state we have vote by mail and when you originally sign up for it you have to show a State ID or State Drivers license and then you can return your ballot by mail or drop it off at a polling place on election day. It works quite well. I had no problem obtaining an ID, had no problem filling out the ballot and had no problem dropping it off at a polling location and I am a minority.

So what if you have to wait in a line or can't be bothered by people trying to influence your vote? So what if it requires an ID to register? Minorities are just as capable as the majority are when it comes to obtaining an ID, registering to vote and actually voting.
