Bondi Orders

Attorney General Pam Bondi has directed the Justice Department to dismiss a lawsuit challenging Georgia’s election law, which was originally filed under President Joe Biden in 2021. The lawsuit alleged that the law disproportionately suppressed Black voters,

But Bondi called the case politically motivated, citing increased Black voter turnout since the law’s enactment. “Georgians deserve secure elections, not fabricated claims of false voter suppression meant to divide us,” she said in a statement.

The Georgia law, passed in response to the 2020 election, introduced new voting restrictions, including stricter ID requirements for mail-in ballots and fewer ballot drop boxes in metro areas. Critics argue these measures unfairly impact marginalized voters.

This move aligns with broader efforts by the Trump administration to tighten voting laws, including a recent executive order requiring proof of citizenship for voter registration and stricter mail-in ballot deadlines.
