Joe Biden’s Justice Department has shifted the federal government overreach into overdrive.
Attorney General Merrick B. Garland (thank goodness he’s not on the Supreme Court) has filed a lawsuit against the State of Georgia to overturn the state’s new voting law.
The lawsuit, according to Garland, is the first “in many steps” to make sure that every state conducts its elections so that they favor the Democrats.
The Department of Justice wants to stop:
- A ban on state and county governments from handing out unsolicited ballots to people who are not eligible to votes;
- Fines for civic groups, churches and advocacy groups for distributing “follow-up ballots”;
- Shortening absentee ballot deadlines to 11 days before an election; and other common-sense rules approved by the elected officials of Georgia and other states.
The Democrats want everyone to vote, whether they are a citizen or not. They don’t want voters to show any identification.
One of the worst aspects of this lawsuit is that it tries to brand Georgia’s Legislature and governor as racists. The DOF wants the public to think that these laws are designed to stop blacks from voting and not to establish law and orders.
“This lawsuit is born out of the lies and misinformation the Biden administration has pushed against Georgia’s Election Integrity Act from the start,” said Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp said. “Joe Biden, Stacey Abrams, and their allies tried to force an unconstitutional elections power grab through Congress – and failed. Now, they are weaponizing the U.S. Department of Justice to carry out their far-left agenda that undermines election integrity and empowers federal government overreach in our democracy.”
The Constitution enumerates the powers of the federal government and everything else is left to the states, including elections.
The courts need to stop this blatant power grab by Biden and the Democrats in the Justice Department.
