Will they also ensure that if they are not a full citizen they cannot vote?

The AG is now the central scrutinizer. Who knew.

Sure he seems really concerned eventually he will do something but right now he needs to defend a rapist Trump against his victim who is seeking real justice.

It’s about time the federal government responds to these criminal Republican Governors. Restricting voting affects all Americans, not just the residents of Florida and Texas. Voting is a constitutional right that should be encouraged not restricted.

virtue signaling to appease the fears from the pending midterm disaster

Sad that it took a week of public pressure for him to do his job

TheRealCoryElia Lmao just pass the fucking HR1 legislation.

If AG Garland is really serious about violations of federal law he'll start at the WhiteHouse, then prosecute every governor & county executive & mayor who operate sanctuary cities or refuse to cooperate with ICE. Otherwise he's just blowing smoke. TheJusticeDept

Please assign Marc Elias to Florida, Georgia, or both.

It ain't over until it's over...

All state legislators is NOT exempt from these 4 ⏬

Drag each and every last one of these bastards into court, and make them defend those damn laws.

Seems like there should a federal law - not individual state laws

too little too late

You should also scrutinize all of Trumps judicial appointees before the Republicans take back the house and senate in 2 years!!!

Any? More like all of them.

If the Justice Department can unilaterally make changes to voting laws, then get ready to embrace communism. Albeit in America it'll be called liberalism, thus making it okay...

I won't hold my breath...........

POTUS SenSchumer SpeakerPelosi WHAT ARE YOU DOING FOR THE PPL THAT VOTED YOU IN!!! YOU NEED TO FIGHT REPUBLICANS ON THEIR BULLSHIT…ENOUGH WITH BIPARTISAN CRAP! PASS SOME LEGISLATION TO AVOID ANOTHER JAN 6th NOW!!!

I want arrests and Qpublican senators detained long enough to pass real laws that will nullify any and all Qpublican tricks

He’s a dollar short and way to LATE!

Waiting for results....

WHAT ABOUT Trump? He cannot skate!
