Judge rules against DOJ over communications in suit over Georgia voting laws

ATLANTA — A judge has ordered the U.S. Department of Justice to turn over communications with organizations suing Georgia over the state’s voting laws, deciding in favor of Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger as he tries to show that the federal government collaborated with his opponents.

U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden ruled Monday that the Department of Justice must disclose documents it has withheld during an ongoing lawsuit that alleges racial discrimination in Georgia’s voting laws passed after the 2020 general election.

Raffensperger, a Republican, said he wants to find evidence of political coordination between Democratic President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice and 62 plaintiffs that have filed lawsuits against the voting law, known as Senate Bill 202.
