Expert reveals what should happen next with Biden DOJ's lingering 'Jim Crow 2.0' election lawsuit

"This lawsuit is the first step of many we are taking to ensure that all eligible voters can cast a vote; that all lawful votes are counted; and that every voter has access to accurate information."  

Since that lawsuit, which court filings show is currently on appeal in the 11th Circuit, Georgia has experienced record voter registration and turnout in several elections. 

"The Trump administration should immediately dismiss this lawsuit," the Heritage Foundation's Meese Center for Legal and Judicial Studies Hans von Spakovsky told Fox News Digital. 

"It had no merit and there was no evidence justifying its filing. Events since then, including record registration and turnout in the 2022 and 2024 elections, with all of the reforms in place that DOJ was attacking, prove what a sham this lawsuit is. DOJ filed it for political reasons because Joe Biden was calling the commonsense Georgia reforms 'Jim Crow 2.0,' an outrageous claim that was clearly wrong and simply made to try to scare voters."

Last week, Georgia's secretary of state called for the lawsuit to be dropped. 

 "The DOJ should never be leveraged for political purposes, and I hope Attorney General Bondi will join us in ending this frivolous lawsuit against the state of Georgia, and release documents exposing the coordination between the Biden DOJ and the liberal left." 

The Justice Department declined to comment when contacted by Fox News Digital.

"Opponents of SB 202 previously called for economic boycotts against Georgia, most notably the relocation of Major League Baseball's All-Star Game following advocacy efforts led by Stacey Abrams," Raffensperger's press release stated. "Despite these efforts, Georgia's voting laws remain unchanged, and the 2025 MLB All-Star Game is set to return to Atlanta."

"Recent data underscores the effectiveness of Georgia's election reforms. A 2022 University of Georgia poll found that 99% of voters reported no issues casting their ballots, and a follow-up poll in 2024 reflected a similarly high satisfaction rate, with 98% of voters experiencing no problems at the polls."
