Democrats dug themselves an election integrity hole, courts may bury them in it

For months now, President Biden and key Democrats have waged endless battle against state laws designed to improve the integrity of elections, ones that make voting easier and cheating harder.

Legal experts have cast doubt on the likelihood of Garland prevailing after the U.S. Supreme Court last week upheld new election integrity laws in Arizona that banned ballot harvesting and votes cast in wrong precincts.

"If the Arizona voting decision had come down a month ago, I don't think the DOJ would've issued such a broad-based challenge" to the Georgia law," Harvard Professor of Law Emeritus Alan Dershowitz told Just the News last week.

"Today's ruling ensures that Georgia's upcoming runoff election follows Georgia's new election law, as passed by the legislature and signed by the governor, making it easier to vote and harder to cheat," he said.

Sen. Joe Manchin, the West Virginia moderate Democrat, refused to sign on to his party's election federalization law, saying banning voter ID and encouraging ballot harvesting was a partisan bridge too far.

That's voter ID," Clyburn said Sunday during an interview on CNN. "We are always for voter ID. We are never for disproportionate voter ID." While the reform laws are a primary battleground right now, some courts are also re-evaluating some of the absentee ballot practices Democrat-run states imposed during the pandemic.

Wisconsin's Supreme Court ruled the state wrongly allowed tens of thousands of voters to skip voter ID requirements on absentee ballots by claiming they were invalid and homebound by the pandemic.
