Supreme Court Rules Securing Elections Unconstitutional

In a landmark decision just weeks before people head to the polls to vote in the midterms, the United States Supreme Court ruled that securing elections was unconstitutional.

Despite efforts from the Trump administration to secure U.S. elections by restricting mail-in ballots and ensuring only citizens would be allowed to vote, the Supreme Court issued a ruling that declared any attempt to prevent widespread fraud from rigging elections to be a clear violation of the Constitution.

"Making sure elections are legal is illegal," Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote in the majority opinion. "There is no provision in the Constitution for securing elections so that they can't be tampered with and stolen. Any attempts made by the current administration to instill confidence in our electoral process are hereby null and void. Also, what is a Constitution, anyway?"

Though the decision was not unanimous, several justices on the court agreed that securing elections goes against everything the Founding Fathers intended. "Free and fair elections aren't what this country was built on," said Justice Elena Kagan. "If someone wants to hatch a plan to create hundreds of thousands of falsified mail-in ballots to swing an election in a certain direction, who are we to stand in their way? This is a free country, and that includes the freedom to cheat in elections."

The Trump administration vowed to continue the fight for election integrity despite the nation's highest court ruling in favor of removing all safeguards against fraud.

At publishing time, the Supreme Court had issued a ruling declaring the Constitution unconstitutional.
