This lawsuit is born out of the lies and misinformation the Biden administration has pushed against Georgia’s Election Integrity Act from the start. Joe Biden, Stacey Abrams, and their allies tried to force an unconstitutional elections power grab through Congress – and failed.

For the People Act is far from the fair, clean elections bill that Democrats are making it out to be. This leftist-backed bill would bar states from upholding voter ID laws or removing inactive voters from their voter rolls.
For the People Act furthermore has components that transfer taxpayer dollars into leftist political campaigns; this comes on top of provisions that bar the prosecution of illegal immigrants who unlawfully vote in elections.
Remarks from the Georgia governor
Brian Kemp, the Republican governor of Georgia, publicly responded to the Justice Department’s lawsuit on Friday.
Kemp stated that the legal suit is grounded in disinformation and dishonesty from the Democrat Party. The Georgia governor furthermore noted the timing of the lawsuit coming after congressional Republicans blocked For the People Act from passing through the Senate.
As Secretary of State, I fought the Obama Justice Department twice to protect the security of our elections – and won. I look forward to going three for three to ensure it’s easy to vote and hard to cheat in Georgia.

Finally, Kemp noted that this isn’t his first time going against the Justice Department in the name of election security. The Republican governor of Georgia also made clear that he is ready to do so again and come out on the other side victorious.
