Democrats won’t rest until they control how and when you vote

Published July 6, 2021 4:00am ET



Just because a bank has never been robbed doesn’t mean you shouldn’t lock cash in a vault. Just because thieves have never broken into your home doesn’t mean you shouldn’t lock your door or secure your valuables. And just because Democrats pretend voter fraud isn’t an issue doesn’t mean that states shouldn’t exercise their constitutional authority to make it easier to vote and harder to cheat.

Last month, Democrats in the Senate failed in their latest effort to pass legislation that would federalize our election systems. Despite President Joe Biden and the Left’s best efforts to resurrect the specter of Jim Crow, people understand the need for voter security. And they understand the fundamental principle that elections should be run and regulated by states and localities — entities that are uniquely qualified to modify voting protections, practices, and procedures to the needs of particular communities.
