Bad-Faith Democrat Attacks on Election Integrity Are Failing

A recent legal proceeding in Florida proves the cheap, theatrical partisanship driving nationwide Democrat attacks on election integrity. Priorities USA, a Democrat super PAC, sued the state of Florida, claiming it made voting-by-mail too difficult. One of the plaintiffs, a Yale graduate student, was asked in a deposition to explain why returning his ballot was difficult. He explained it was a 30-minute walk to his nearest post office. He was then asked if he knew of Google and if he had used it to look for a closer mailbox. He stated that he had not used Google or done any other research to find closer mailboxes. The student was unaware of the USPS mailbox six blocks away from his apartment or that he could use the mailbox at his apartment complex. This disastrous deposition could have been the reason the Democrats gave up on the case, walking away before the trial even began.

Such a comprehensive failure in a single instance would be embarrassing enough. However, this kind of floundering isn't an isolated event for those Democrats engaged in dishonest attacks on election integrity. Failure is a pattern.

With their track record of failure, the only conclusion is that their efforts are merely for show and their “claims” are lies. These unsuccessful lawsuits have real world consequences. First, the mainstream media amplifies Democrat lies, misleading the public even though most Americans support stronger election integrity measures that protect the security of their ballots. Second, even nonpartisan election lawyers have complained that Democrats' litigious theatrics are counterproductive and risk evisceration of voting rights laws. While Republicans may frequently disagree with these lawyers on voting issues, it’s a legitimate point. They fear, like the boy who cried wolf, that Democrat scaremongering may lead courts to overlook legitimate voting rights claims. Fortunately, citizens and courts alike can see through the Democrat charade, rendering their attacks on our democratic system a master class in failure.
