ATLANTA 鈥聽Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger is asking the nation's new attorney general to withdraw a federal lawsuit challenging election reform legislation the General Assembly passed in 2021.

The Biden administration sued to block provisions of Senate Bill 202, which Georgia lawmakers adopted in the wake of lawsuits President Donald Trump filed at the end of his first term challenging the results of Georgia's 2020 presidential election. Various courts rejected the Republican suits, ruling that Democrat Joe Biden was the legitimate winner of the Peach State's 16 electoral votes that year.
