D'Souza read the ruling from Supreme Court Justice Alito which states: "Voters who choose to cast a ballot in person or on Election Day must vote in their own precincts or else their ballots will not be counted. That's provision number one."
"Number Two, mail-in-ballots cannot be collected by anyone other than an election official, a mail carrier or a voter's family member, household member, or caregiver," D'Souza continued.
Although the provisions made by the Supreme Court to uphold election integrity is common sense, those on the left of the political aisle claim the provisions are discriminatory against minorities as they "make it harder to vote."
However, D'Souza described the sharp contrast of views and a contrast of legal reasoning in which SCOTUS ruled upon regarding Arizona's election integrity.
Those against election integrity argued to the High Court that implementing stricter voting laws is unconstitutional as it goes against the Voting Rights Act; however, in order to rule in favor of the Voting Rights Act, the law must be discriminatory in intent—which the Supreme Court's ruling on election integrity fails to fall under that category as it is not a law that is subjected to a specific group of people but rather nationwide.
Alito ruled that every state has a "strong and legitimate interest in preventing fraud" and said that "fraud can undermine public confidence."
"Voters should be able to vote without intimidation or undue influence," Alito added, which is why there are "private voting booths."
Alito also stated that "a law is not discriminatory even if its impact falls unevenly on different groups," which is progressive's main argument against the implementation of voting laws. "The mere fact that there is some disparity in impact does not necessarily mean that a system is not equally open or that it does not give everyone an equal opportunity," Alito said.
Alito went on to slam the left's argument that it's a burden for minority groups to have travel to polling places does not exceed the "usual burdens of voting."
The eponymous host of The Dinesh D'Souza Podcast said, "It's kind of hard to believe you have to have the Supreme Court actually saying such obvious statements." More on the ruling and commentary can be watched here.
