Attorney General Pam Bondi has dropped a federal lawsuit challenging Georgia’s controversial Election Integrity Act, which was passed in 2021 after President Biden’s win in the state. The law, signed by Governor Brian Kemp, includes measures such as banning the provision of food and water to voters in line and expanding voter ID requirements.

Critics, including the Biden administration, argued it suppressed voter turnout, particularly among Black voters. However, Bondi dismissed these claims, stating that Black voter turnout had actually increased under the law. The law’s passage sparked national protests, including the relocation of the 2021 MLB All-Star Game and significant backlash from figures like former President Jimmy Carter. Despite initial controversy, Georgia saw record voter turnout in the 2024 election, undermining claims of voter suppression.
