Georgia AG files scathing response to DOJ's election lawsuit, blasting it as a 'shameless political attack'
Fox News
Georgia's top law enforcement officer filed a scathing rebuke to the controversial lawsuit against the state's new election law by President Biden's Department of Justice, calling it a "shameless political attack" and urging for its immediate dismissal.
"Biden’s Department of Justice is waging a shameless political attack on Georgia’s constitutional authority to regulate its elections. Georgia’s election system is equally accessible to all voters, and we will continue to vigorously defend the commonsense provisions of Georgia’s Election Integrity Act against these baseless, partisan attacks." In June, Attorney General Merrick Garland directed the Department of Justice (DOJ) to sue Georgia, alleging Republican state lawmakers rushed through the law, Senate Bill (SB) 202, with an intent to deny Black voters equal access to the ballot. Georgia officials fired back, saying that DOJ's lawsuit is "blatantly political" and that Georgia's law actually strengthens security, expands access and improves transparency in elections. Carr, who is representing Georgia in the lawsuit, filed a reply brief in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia Wednesday.More Related News
