On the last day of its term, the Supreme Court handed down a resounding victory for free and fair elections. In Brnovich v. DNC, the court upheld two Arizona election integrity laws against a lawsuit from the Democratic Party alleging violations of the Voting Rights Act, ending a yearslong quest by liberals to weaponize the VRA against voting safeguards they oppose.

In response, progressives have gone off the deep end. They are conflating a defeat for Democrats with an assault on democracy itself. President Joe Biden himself mounted the stage in Philadelphia to give a preposterously demagogic speech comparing the court’s decision to slavery, KKK violence, and other “vicious” attacks on voting rights.
