RIGGED

This EXCELLENT documentary "Rigged​ --​ a Voter Suppression Playbook" on Republican efforts to suppress the Democratic black/brown/Hispanic, youth vote is a national emergency which must be address​ed​. It is alarming, but oh so necessary for all who care deeply about justice and about keeping our nation a democracy by ensuring everyone has the right to vote. The courts, an often reliable institution for stemming Republican malevolent voter suppression behavior, have been severely compromised by the election of Trump. The final nail in the subversion of democracy is to pack the courts with Republican leaning justices who will keep the vote rigged. We cannot let them. Listen to "Rigged" which is an excellent documentary explaining the right wing efforts funded often by the Koch Brothers and others to ensure whites remain in power despite changing demographics. Watch and listen then get involved if you can by doing what you can to defeat this poisonous anti-democratic force in our nation.

The entire documentary "Rigged A Voter Suppression Playbook" narrated by Jeffrey Wright can be seen in its entirety on Prime Video. It will tell you just how this nefarious playbook works. The accusation by Republicans of national fraud in elections is a fraud and meant only to fire up ​white ​people to suppress the vote​ and return to the Jim Crow era​.​  We must not let them.​

​The Supreme Court just delivered a noxious decision to declare gerrymandering legal.  This will open up the doors to rigging elections legally.  This decision is as bad as Citizen's United for opening up the floodgates of corruption money.  It is the Dred Scott decision of our day turning back one man one vote and the 1965 Voting Rights Act.  Finally, we must try no matter how many obstacles Republicans, their allies and courts place in the way, to meet every requirement no matter how difficult to register persons of color, students and the young to vote. Beat these mendacious swine at their own game. Find out what you need in your state to do to meet the requirements for voting and then do it, register to vote and then vote. Begin now as November 2020 is closer than you think and our nation's democracy and ​its ​life blood is at stake. RESIST​ to DUMP TRUMP​!

Watch a commentary on it by Jeffrey Wright by going to "Rigged a Call to Action" at the link ​below​. ​ ​PASS THIS ON TO ANYONE YOU CHOOSE.
