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."

I read between the lines that he won’t give them an injunction against its interim enforcement, because they failed to show a likelihood of success for their claim. But the lawsuit isn’t over. If they lose at trial, which is likely, there’ll still be appeals of the trial court’s rulings. And so on and so forth. It’s never over.
According to leftists, black folk aren’t smart enough to get ID.
Gotta admit, given some of the crap I see on the internet indicates the idea has at least some merit, but I really don’t want people too dumb to get ID voting in the first place.
Democrat Party claims that election integrity laws are racist because black people are unable get ID.
Way to go, Dems. Calling black people too stupid and incompetent to get ID is about as racist as you can get.
Every black person should turn their backs on the Dems for such an outlandish claim. I know I would be greatly insulted.
