Justice Department's Vindictive Challenge to Georgia's Voting Law Has Truly National Ramifications

Together they announced that Georgia was being sued for violating the Voting Rights Act.Kristen Clarke heads the Department's Civil Rights Division and has long advocated that America is a deeply racist country.

She has spent the last three years refusing to concede, choosing instead to challenge virtually every move Gov. Kemp makes, including his signing of the voting reform legislation last March.

The provisions of Georgia's voting reform law actually expanded mail-in balloting beyond existing law, but obviously not enough to satisfy those like Abrams, Garland, and Clarke who equate ballot integrity with racial disenfranchisement.

To these critics, requiring that a voter present a valid identification card at the time they vote, is simply further evidence that Georgia remains, as it always has been in their eyes, a racist state.

It is a picture painted on old parchment by dredging up time-worn allegations of racial gerrymandering lobbed against the state by other Attorneys General, and supplemented by statistics of Black voting strength that, at best, are irrelevant to any charge that racial animus guided the hands of Georgia legislators or the Governor.

If the Justice Department prevails in its challenge to Georgia's law, the Biden Administration will have achieved a major victory in its drive to federalize elections, which is the primary goal of H.R. 1, despite the President not having the votes in the Senate to pass that truly terrible piece of legislation.

Another motive for this challenge to Georgia's voting reforms is to intimidate any other "Red" states that might have recently enacted voting reform measures, or which may be planning to do so.
