The Department of Justice announced Monday it planned to withdraw a lawsuit it brought during the Biden administration challenging Georgia’s sweeping election reform bill, marking the strongest shift yet away from the Biden DOJ’s election-related legal activity.

The DOJ’s move to end the litigation in Georgia came after it also terminated election lawsuits in Virginia, Alabama, and Texas. The dismissals coincide with President Donald Trump directing Attorney General Pam Bondi last week to take actions that align with his election priorities, which largely center on combating voter fraud.
