Pam Bondi instructs DOJ to abandon Biden-era Georgia election lawsuit

The Department of Justice has taken a decisive step by retracting prior government claims in a key lawsuit initially filed during the Biden administration, contentions that accused Georgia of using racial discrimination tactics to suppress Black voters.

The controversial lawsuit, launched in 2021, prompted extensive discourse on voter suppression and election integrity.
