Caveat: This is according to Associated Press, a source that I no longer trust.
This will be battled out in the courts for at least a year.

Going nowhere. Absolutely nowhere.
Garland will be the only one 'battling'. Alone, against The Constitution.

They filed a short time ago.
The Department’s complaint challenges several provisions of Georgia Senate Bill 202, including the following:
A provision banning government entities from distributing unsolicited absentee ballot applications.
The imposition of costly and onerous fines on civic organizations, churches and advocacy groups that distribute
follow-up absentee ballot applications.
The shortening of the deadline to request absentee ballots to 11 days before Election Day.
The requirement that voters who do not have identification issued by the Georgia Department of Driver Services
photocopy another form of identification in order to request an absentee ballot without allowing for use of the
last four digits of a social security number for such applications.
Significant limitations on counties’ use of absentee ballot drop boxes.
The prohibition on efforts by churches and civic groups to provide food or water to persons waiting in long
lines to vote.
The prohibition on counting out-of-precinct provisional ballots cast before 5 p.m. on Election Day.

Going nowhere.
It's going to the federal court system. I agree it's unconstitutional but these days anything can happen in the court system. Resolution will be in a year or more.

'Going nowhere' beyond the opening-argument phase. Garland has to prove that the elected Georgia-assembly violated its own law... with Garland's own numbers showing that more people voted in Georgia in 2020 than at any time in that State's history, by far.
It's even worse for Garland than that. He can't use any of the 6 Stacy Abrams' cases that've been thrown-out so far, since 2018 for insufficient evidence of voter suppression.
The Judge will be just sitting there with a gavel, denying every motion to proceed... " Present your next argument, if you have one... "

Because HR1 failed.
They can't legislate so they hope for sympathetic judges.

Going nowhere. Absolutely nowhere.
Garland will be the only one 'battling'. Alone, against The Constitution.
It does not exist for him so he des not see it as an uphill battle. And he is not alone.
