Kamala Harris is starting to take on more responsibility in the administration.
It is not going well.
And a federal judge just crushed Kamala Harris in her biggest fight.
Kamala Harris is taking point on the Biden administration’s push on “voting rights.”
In reality, this means fighting to keep the procedures in place from the 2020 election, and also suing red states that pass new election integrity measures.
Harris is already off to a poor start.
The centerpiece of the left’s claim that election integrity laws are “Jim Crow 2.0” was a new Georgia law that simply required voters provide voter ID when they submitted an application for an absentee ballot as well as when they mailed in their vote.
Joe Biden and Stacey Abrams kicked up such a fuss with false claims about this law that Major League Baseball yanked the All-Star Game out of Atlanta to try and appease a woke mob.
But Democrats just struck out in court on the Georgia law.
U.S. District Judge J.P. Boulee rejected a lawsuit by the left-wing activist group Coalition for Good Governance to pause the law’s implementation.
Judge Boulee laughed at the group’s claim that the law did First Amendment harm out of the courtroom.
“The Court is not persuaded by Plaintiffs’ argument for a bright line exception to Purcell because they have alleged First Amendment harm. Plaintiffs have not provided authority, nor is the Court aware of any, that would support this interpretation of the law,” Judge Boulee wrote.
Judge Boulee added that numerous special elections were set to take place and striking down the law now would be akin to changing the rules at the end of the game.
“Election administrators have prepared to implement the challenged rules, have implemented them at least to some extent and now would have to grapple with a different set of rules in the middle of the election,” Boulee added. “The risk of disrupting the administration of an ongoing election … outweigh the alleged harm to plaintiffs at this time.”
This decision – as well as the Supreme Court’s ruling in Brnovich v. the Democratic National Committee – means Harris will suffer a lot of losses on the Georgia law – and on other red state election integrity laws – in court.
The administration already filed a doomed-to-fail lawsuit in Georgia and will likely file suits against other states’ election integrity laws to show the Democrats’ left-wing base they take this issue seriously.
“In states, we have successfully blocked some anti-voter bills from becoming law — and others are being challenged in court,” Harris said in a speech about voting rights.
But the likelihood of any sustained success after the Brnovich decision is near zero.
And Harris will have to explain defeat after defeat to the party faithful.
