Yet, in fighting against voter ID laws, Democrats continue to wage war against the will of vast majority of Americans…https://t.co/MrpXfobZFS

The Supreme Court has just ruled to uphold laws in Arizona geared toward strengthening the integrity of the voting process.
Today’s SCOTUS ruling on Arizona’s voting rules is a huge win for Arizonans. We must continue fighting for election integrity so that we restore faith in our election process. Arizonans deserve 100% confidence in our voting system!

Is this an indication of widespread realization among Democrats that it does not make common sense and is not a politically viable strategy to oppose measures that promote the integrity of the voting process?
