Earlier, we reported that Attorney General Merrick Garland announced that the DOJ was filing a lawsuit against the state of Georgia over newly passed voter integrity laws.
Republican candidate for Governor Vernon Jones decried the move in a video, which he took while travelling through the state as he is currently meeting with voters ahead of next year’s primary.
In a tweet that included the video, Jones declared, “Joe Biden’s DOJ is suing the state of Georgia because they think black people are too damn dumb to secure a Voter ID and properly vote.”
“This is racism at its worst,” Jones explained.

“The Attorney General Garland to come and investigate Georgia’s election law because they don’t think that black people have the damn sense or can afford a free voter ID,” Jones stated in the video.
Jones continued, “That is so disrespectful to the entire black race to even think that. If he wants to investigate something in Georgia, he should investigate how Stacey [Abrams’] law was used over state law in our elections.”
Then, Jones asked, “That’s right, using electronic signature verification and these so-called drop off boxes that were used to harvest votes, why doesn’t he investigate that?”
Jones addressed the current governor and his primary opponent by demanding, “And by the way, Brian Kemp, you need to get on the stick and do this… forensic audit right now so you can show the real fraud and stop being afraid of Stacey Abrams and working with Joe Biden administration to stall all that.”
Previously, we reported:
Since the 2020 election and subsequent reported loss by then President Donald Trump, Republicans have been in a frenzy to ensure there was no foul play. Some don’t think there was enough fraud for Joe Biden to win, but that perhaps mass mail-in ballots may have helped tipped the scales.
Others may think there was potential fraud. Most media outlets report there was no widespread election fraud. Nevertheless, red states and swing states around the nation have been enacting tough new voter integrity and voter ID laws, voter roll purges of people no longer registered to vote or in some cased deceased folks, and other measures to tighten up what they believe to be election integrity, and to make sure state elections are all on the up and up.
Recently a bill failed in the U.S. Senate to enact what amounted to a federal takeover in the eyes of many of the elections. Many Democrats didn’t want to break the filibuster to get that bill through, while many others were furious that it wasn’t done. Clearly, the Biden Administration is facing mounting pressure from angry radical left-wing Democrats to stop Republicans from enacting new voting laws.
The Democrats call these new laws voter suppression. The GOP just says they want to prevent cheating. It’s up to the voter to decide which is which. In our view, preventing cheating is a good thing. We didn’t think we’d see a showdown though, between the federal government and the states. But yet, here we are.
Joe Biden’s Attorney General Merrick Garland is announcing a lawsuit against Georgia for their voter integrity bills. Yes, you heard that right.
