Georgia AG: DOJ lawsuit against new election law is a 'campaign flier' and 'blatantly political'

Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr defended his state's new voting rights law on "Tucker Carlson Tonight," pointing to what he called the politicization of the Justice Department under U.S. Attorney General Merrick B. Garland.

It also requires ballot drop boxes in each county, while mandating they are physically secure, and stiffens penalties on electioneering at polling stations -- the subsection of the bill decried by Democrats as purportedly preventing voters in line from being given bottled water. The passage of the law caused President Biden to declare it "Jim Crow on steroids," and Major League Baseball to pull its All-Star Game out of the Atlanta area and move it to Denver. Proponents of the law point to the fact it makes Georgia a proverbially freer state election-law wise than the president's home state of Delaware and the similarly deep blue stronghold of New York – where the MLB is based.
