Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has requested U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi to dismiss the federal lawsuit against Georgia’s election-reform law, Senate Bill 202. Raffensperger pointed out that voter turnout in the state increased to record levels after the law was passed, which expands voter ID requirements to mail-in voting, puts restrictions on ballot harvesting, and codifies ballot drop boxes.
The Georgia law has faced criticism from Democrats, including President Biden and Stacey Abrams, who have referred to it as “Jim Crow 2.0.” Raffensperger stated that the Biden administration and Abrams created a false narrative about Georgia’s elections, and he hopes the attorney general will end the lawsuit and expose any coordination between the Biden administration and liberal groups.
Raffensperger highlighted that more than 20 states passed similar laws in 2021, leading to increased or stable voter turnout. He also urged the Justice Department to support Georgia’s election practices in related legal cases and cited polls showing a high percentage of voters reporting no issues casting their ballots.
The Biden administration filed the lawsuit against Georgia in June 2021, but Raffensperger believes that the law has resulted in positive outcomes for voter turnout in the state. The Justice Department did not respond to inquiries regarding the matter.
