Finally, some sanity prevails; dismissing Kari Lake's baseless lawsuit reaffirms faith in our voting systems and democracy.

The Supreme Court's decision to dismiss Kari Lake's lawsuit without delving into the concerns about electronic voting machines is disappointing. It feels like a missed opportunity to address significant issues regarding election integrity and the trustworthiness of our voting systems.
