Bondi said that her department would no longer seek to block Georgia from enforcing SB 202, a Republican-backed measure that tightened absentee voting requirements. After the implementation of the law, the Biden administration sued to block it from taking effect, alleging that it targeted black voters.

“Contrary to the Biden Administration’s false claims of suppression, black voter turnout actually increased under SB 202,” Bondi said. …

The law, passed in March 2021, mandated a voter ID requirement for absentee voting, required election workers not to stop counting the votes after they’ve begun, and limited the availability of ballot drop boxes to only inside early voting locations during business hours.

At the time, President Joe Biden decried the law, calling it “Jim Crow in the 21st Century” and “a blatant attack on the Constitution.” …

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said that the decision from the Justice Department was a win for Georgia voters.

“This reaffirms that the Election Integrity Act stands on solid legal ground,” he said Monday. …
