The good people of Georgia are still subjected to an old provision in the Voting Rights Act of 1965 that requires them to get permission from the Justice Department to change state voting laws. The antiquated law was meant to prevent southern states from trying to limit blacks' right to vote. It's never caused any problems, until Obama's DOJ came to town.
A new law passed in Georgia would require new voters to present a driver's license and Social Security Number when they register to vote. It's to an effort to keep illegal immigrants off the voting rolls. The DOJ's notorious Civil Rights Division jumped in and refused to approve the law because it "unfairly burdened a disproportionate number of minorities."
Yes, Obama's government is actually arguing that presenting proof of American citizenship is racist.
It's unclear whether the CRD is doing this because illegal immigrants are a key Democrat constituency or because the CRD is populated by race-baiting radicals. (Probably a combination of both.) But Georgia is fed up. In a courageous move, Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp announced the state will be suing the Justice Department to get the law passed. "The State of Georgia will no longer watch the Obama Justice Department play politics with our election processes and protections," Kemp said. This is the first time that anyone has stood up to the Civil Rights Division's racial bullying and we at ObamaWatchNews wish Kemp all the best.
