Georgia Punches Back in Spirited Motion to Dismiss DOJ Election Integrity Lawsuit

2021-07-31

[NATIONALREVIEW] The state of Georgia has filed a motion to dismiss the Department of Justice (DOJ) lawsuit aimed at its new, much-maligned election integrity law, S.B. 202, calling the legal action "a politicized intrusion into the State of Georgia’s constitutional authority to regulate the ’time, place, and manner’ of its election."Georgia secretary of state Brad Raffensperger concurred, saying in a Friday interview with National Review that "the left" had an "agenda" that they were going to push regardless of what the state’s legislature did.

"No matter what was passed, they were going to be against it and the DOJ just, in effect parroted what was already out there with the misinformation, the disinformation," he asserted. "What you saw is that Stacey Abrams

...the pudgy, sour grapes lo-o-o-o-o-ser (Loser! Loser! Loser!) of the 2018 Georgia governor's race. Stacey nominated herself to be Joe Biden's vice president nominee, to widespread national apathy. She has a very keen eye for Racism in any form, to include the imaginary...
and her allies, two weeks before the bill was even passed bought ’Jim Crow 2.0,’ and they hadn’t even finalized what the reading of the bill was."

Both Raffensperger and the motion itself allege that the lawsuit fails to pass muster on a number of fronts. Most crucially, the plaintiffs predict that the law will prevent African Americans and other racial minorities from voting but the law has not been around long enough for any such result to have materialized.

"The Department of Justice has talked about what’s going to happen in the future, but Section 2 [of the Civil Rights Act] never talks about what could happen, it’s based on a results claim. There are no results," explained Raffensperger.
