Obama Judge Slaps Down Stacey Abrams Election Lawsuit against state Biden labeled 'Jim Crow 2.0': Governor Kemp praises ruling as he takes on Democrat for the second time
A federal judge, who was appointed to the bench by
Barack Obama, has sided with the state of
Georgia over Democrat Stacey Abrams' challenge to the constitutionality of the state's election practices.
'Although Georgiaโs election system is not perfect, the challenged practices violate neither the constitution nor the VRA,' wrote U.S. District Judge Steve Jones, an Obama appointee, referring to the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
The suit was filed after Abrams narrowly lost the Georgia governor's race to
Republican Brian Kemp four years ago.
Obama appointee U.S. District Judge Steve Jones threw out the remainder of Abrams' lawsuit more than a year after the judge had tossed most of the earlier claims
