Justice Department Drops Biden-Era Lawsuit Against Georgia Election Law

Attorney General Pam Bondi dismissed the lawsuit, citing increased voter turnout under the law, while civil rights groups vow to continue legal challenges.

Attorney General Pam Bondi has directed the Department of Justice to dismiss a lawsuit filed in 2021 by the Biden administration challenging Georgia's Senate Bill 202.
The lawsuit alleged that the law, which introduced voter ID requirements and restricted ballot drop boxes, disproportionately suppressed Black voters in violation of the Voting Rights Act.
Bondi cited increased Black voter turnout in the 2024 election as evidence that the law does not suppress votes, framing the dismissal as a win for election integrity.
Civil rights groups, including the Georgia NAACP, argue the law creates barriers to voting access and have pledged to continue their legal efforts against it.
The dismissal reflects a broader shift in the Justice Department under the Trump administration, which has moved away from Biden-era civil rights priorities.
