Obama suggests GOP voting laws are 'rigging' the game, corporate America needs to speak up

Former President Barrack Obama suggested Friday that efforts by Republican legislatures to change voting laws amount to "rigging" the system.

During a virtual discussion at the Economic Club of Chicago, Obama said Republicans have embraced "patently false" claims that the 2020 election was stolen, and excoriated them for instituting "voter suppression methods" through state legislatures.

"That's the kind of dangerous behavior we are going to have to push back on," Obama said.

β€œThis really has to do with the basic rules well all have agreed to, to keep this diverse, multiracial democracy functioning. Are we going to stick to those rules or are we gonna start rigging the game in a way that breaks it? And that's not going to be good for business, not to mention for our soul."

Obama singled out Georgia's new voting law in particular, which has faced corporate backlash.

The Democrat told the respected civic and political organization, in his strongest comments to date, that there is a responsibility to push back against these voting laws, and corporations, in particular, have an obligation to stand up.

β€œI think the corporate community has a responsibility to at least call folks out on that, because this transcends policy,” he said.

Doubling down on the big lie.

Deception is what President Obama's entire life is based on.

If you look, you can find lots of YouTube videos of boarder up downtown Seattle and Portland and mile after mile of LA streets boarded up. The businesses are vacant.

These cities have fallen apart and perhaps are no longer viable

We need to go back to dumb voting machines.

It’s the only way we’ll restore our republic.

Assistant Democrats know who they are assisting.

And they know who they are screwing out of their country.
