A federal court struck down a lawsuit backed by the Biden administration which claimed Georgia's new election integrity laws are discriminatory towards black voters.
Judge J.P. Boulee issued the ruling for the US District Court for the Northern District of Georgia on Wednesday. According to The Federalist, Judge Boulee said that the Biden administration and other Democratic groups "failed to show a substantial likelihood of success on the merits as to their claims that the provisions intentionally discriminate against black voters in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment, Fifteenth Amendment and Section 2 of the [Voting Rights Act]."
In other words, the Democrat Party claims that election integrity laws are racist have been found to hold no merit.

However, Judge Boulee struck down those claims and argued that the plaintiffs "presented no evidence that black registered voters fail to have the other acceptable forms of identification allowed by the statute at a statistically higher rate than white voters."
"These other forms of identification include utility bills, bank statements, paychecks and other government documents that include a name and an address," Boulee wrote. "Ultimately, without this additional evidence, the Court cannot find at this time that the Identification Provision has a disparate impact on black voters."

Finally, a sane and rational decision. The arguments outlined by this judge would have been as valid fifty years ago as they are today.
At least, now, we have a clear decision.
Blacks are crazy to allow the DNC white boyz to use them for everything they need to destroy America.
It’s racist because it doesn’t allow for as much cheating as the Democrats prefer.
Trump appointee
Meanwhile the diversified business population of Atlanta got screwed by BLM-supporting Major League Baseball for pulling the All-Star game from there.
More blacks voted in elections after these laws were enforced than before... claiming this is racist is nonsense
It will be appealed.
Okay Surrender Monkeys clear your throat and all together say, “Waa but they’ll cheat, waaa. No body ever stops them, waaa!”
There, now don’t you feel so much better?
Concise, and free of woke bs cloaked in legalese.
Good point. Now that this issue is settled legally, can baseball give Atlanta the all star game?
This is like the 4th or 5th time they have sued us over this issue. They never stop.
But wait.
The Department of Just-us, all Democrats and most Uniparty Republicans all say that black people are too simple & backward to be able to get a photo voter ID.
One judge says they are wrong.
I guess in this case consensus don’t really matter. Ya think?

When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. Calling everything you don’t like “racist” has completely taken the meaning out of the accusation. It no longer means anything.
But that would mean the cretin Rob Manfred would essentially be admitting he made a mistake. He's is a leftist creep, and, by definition, lefties never admit they made a mistake.
Well, then you should know that on the "Senior Circuit", the 11th, it is very difficult to land 3 libs on a 3-judge Appeals Panel ...
Also a good thread to remind everyone that President Trump made an astounding 234 ArtIII judiciary appointments, and after he is re-elected, he will reshape the federal judiciary in a manner that will endure well past the mid-century.
I think one lawsuit over the difficulty of getting IDs had to dig down to find retired nuns in North Carolina to be the plaintiffs. I'm having trouble getting my dad in a nursing home an ID, but that's mainly dealing with getting proof that he needs a remote application instead of coming in.
“Someone who is able to get an EBT/SNAP card, and Section 8 housing,
and Medicaid, certainly demonstrates the ability to obtain an ID card.”
Shhhhh. Don’t throw things such as logic into the equation.
