A federal court struck down Democrats’ request for a preliminary injunction seeking to block provisions of Georgia’s election-integrity law on Wednesday, ruling that plaintiffs showed no evidence the statute discriminates against black voters.
Writing for the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, Judge J.P. Boulee ruled that in their lawsuit against Georgia state officials, the Biden administration and Democrat-affiliated groups “failed to show a substantial likelihood of success on the merits as to their claims that the provisions” of a Republican-backed election-integrity law “intentionally discriminate against black voters in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment, Fifteenth Amendment and Section 2 of the [Voting Rights Act].”
Signed into law by Gov. Brian Kemp in March 2021, SB 202 mandated voter ID for absentee voting and set rules against giving voters gifts or money within 150 feet of a polling place. The law also increased security around and limited the use of ballot drop boxes, tightened the time frame in which voters can request an absentee ballot before Election Day, and increased regulations around provisional ballots.
