How The DOJ Uses Lawfare To Target Republicans' Election Laws

Over the past several years, the DOJ has made a habit of filing and joining leftist-backed lawsuits against Republican states' election integrity laws.

The strategy is reminiscent of the left's legal bombardment against election integrity laws leading up to the 2020 election, in which Democrat-backed legal groups filed a bevy of lawsuits aimed at altering state election laws in their favor.

Now, with Joe Biden in the White House, the DOJ has been able to further Democrats' election interference by piling on the legal jihad against Republican-backed election laws at the expense of the U.S. taxpayer.

Contrary to Democrats' claims the law would suppress Georgians' ability to vote, the state saw record early voter turnout for the 2022 midterms and the state's subsequent Senate runoff election.

With the groundwork laid by their political and media allies, the DOJ had the justification it needed to launch a lawsuit against SB 202 in June 2021, in which the agency parroted the lie that Georgia's election law was designed to "Deny[] or abridg[e]" nonwhite Americans' right to vote.

The DOJ also joined a Democrat-backed lawsuit last month against a recently enacted election law passed by Florida Republicans.

Contrary to its claims, the DOJ's election lawfare has nothing to do with "Protecting democracy" and everything to do with inserting itself into elections to benefit the Democrat Party.
