IN FULL:

The U.S. Justice Department (DOJ) has been instructed to drop its lawsuit against a major election reform in Georgia. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced this decision, ending a legal challenge initiated by the Biden government in June 2021. The election law changes, made shortly after the 2020 presidential election, enacted stricter voter ID requirements for mail-in ballots and shorted the period where voters could request to vote by mail.

Attorney General Bondi, addressing the suit’s dismissal, critiqued the former Biden government for advancing what she described as “false claims of suppression.” She insisted that Georgians deserved trustworthy election procedures free from contentious claims designed to provoke division. “Georgians deserve secure elections, not fabricated claims of false voter suppression meant to divide us,” Bondi said.

The dismissal of this lawsuit concludes the DOJ’s involvement in contesting the Georgia law. Democrats continue to contend that the election integrity measure, similar to statutes enacted in other states, is aimed at suppressing the black vote—especially in the Atlanta city metro area.

Before the 2024 presidential election, the former Biden government brought a series of lawsuits against state election integrity measures, including an attempt in Virginia to purge noncitizens and deceased voters from the state voter rolls. This lawsuit was dropped shortly after President Donald J. Trump was inaugurated in January 2025.
