Biden DOJ suing Georgia over new voting restrictions

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/25/biden-doj-to-sue-georgia-over-new-voting-restrictions.html

"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 said 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,” that all lawful votes are counted, and that every voter has access to accurate information.”
