A nonprofit group claims a state law preventing anyone from assisting more than six voters during an election prevents it from fulfilling its mission to help Spanish-speaking residents understand their ballots.

The history of political corruption in Chicago made an unexpected—and perhaps telling—appearance during oral argument before the Eighth Circuit Thursday in a Voting Rights Act case over an Arkansas law restricting assistance to voters in casting their ballots.

Arkansas concluded its 95th General Assembly with sweeping new laws focused on education reform, expanded healthcare access and tightened election security.

A n unfortunate reality now confronts Americans who value the rule of law: The court system has limited capability to act as a guardrail against Trumpist authoritarianism. And so elections matter—vitally. The final and most powerful check on Donald Trump has always been, and will always be, the ballot box.
