Mainstream media melts down over Supreme Court decision on Arizona 'voting restrictions'

Mainstream media outlets seemed to be in complete meltdown mode this week following the Supreme Court's Tuesday decision to uphold Arizona voting rules aimed at ensuring election integrity.

"[N]either Arizona’s out-of-precinct rule nor its ballot-collection law violates §2 of the VRA," Justice Samuel Alito wrote in the court’s majority opinion. He was joined by Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett. Only Justices Elena Kagan, Stephen Breyer and Sonia Sotomayor dissented. Although the court used precise language in its decision to say that Arizona was not restricting the ability of its citizens to vote, the media was quick to continue using terms intended to paint the rules as discriminatory, restrictive, and even racist.
