The Justice Department is suing Georgia.

The Justice Department will file a federal lawsuit Friday against the state of Georgia for its efforts to enact new voting restrictions that federal authorities allege discriminate against Black Americans, according to people familiar with the matter.

Which would have been illegal under the 1964 Voting Rights Act, had it not been for the disastrous Supreme Court ruling in Holder v Shelby that killed the preclearance part of the Act. They said oh that’s all over now, and RBG said it will come right back if you take the protections away, and guess what that’s exactly what happened.

The legal challenge takes aim at Georgia’s Election Integrity Act, which was passed in March by the Republican-led state legislature and signed into law by Gov. Brian Kemp (R). The law imposes new limits on the use of absentee ballots, makes it a crime for outside groups to provide food and water to voters waiting at polling stations, and hands greater control over election administration to the state legislature.

It makes voting more difficult, and more subject to partisan interference. That’s not how voting is supposed to work.
