Biden won't stop pushing his bogus, cynical narrative of voter suppression

With another election season nearly upon us, President Joe Biden is renewing his bad-faith attacks on conservative states seeking to implement popular, commonsense election integrity policies that make it easy to vote and hard to cheat.
Take his recent speech in Selma, Alabama. The president took advantage of a solemn occasion to politicize support for democracy itself, spread lies that undermine our institutions, and sow doubt in future elections that Democrats lose by peddling disproven claims of voter suppression — all in an effort to boost voter turnout among his base.
It’s a claim as cynical as it is dishonest. Perhaps this threat to democracy should be taken a little more seriously by the mainstream press.
The fact of the matter is public trust in elections is shaky. Over the last two years, conservative states such as Florida, Georgia, and Texas worked hard to bolster public confidence by passing election integrity laws that have dramatically improved voting while also expanding voter access.
