1:38Now PlayingThe Justice Department is filing a lawsuit against a sweeping new Republican-backed voting law in Georgia that critics say represents intentional discrimination against Black voters and is unconstitutional, according to a U.S. official.
The bill is a massive rewrite of Georgia’s election law, imposing new voter identification requirements, allowing state officials to take over local elections boards, limiting the use of ballot drop boxes, shortening the absentee voting window and making it illegal to approach voters in line to give them food and water.
The law, signed by Republican Governor Brian Kemp on March 25, drew immediate backlash from civil rights groups and major corporations, including the NAACP and Delta Air Lines Inc. Major League Baseball also moved to take this year’s All-Star Game and the MLB Draft event from Atlanta to show its concern over the legislation.
