Former President Barack Obama says he's troubled by the onslaught of new state election laws that have passed in the wake of the 2020 presidential election, adding that rhetoric delegitimizing the voting process is a "threat to democracy."

Obama is a threat to Democracy.
Maybe OCommie should read the constitution. 😆
He Magic negro, How are you and Mike getting along?
We should go back to having state legislatures choose the electoral college. If you want a president from a particular party, vote for the appropriate candidate in your district. The Framers never specifically provided for a popular vote for president. The only Federal offices that were chosen by direct election was the HOR. BTW, my post was rejected by Newsweek, for saying the exact same thing.
The real threat to our democracy or more rightly our Republic is not to have people identify themselves to vote an eliminate the cheating. Obama knows what is really the right way for the country to go, but does not want to give up the democratic advantage. He is a big phoney!
I guess that also means...
...rhetoric legitimizing the voting process is a "move to insure the continuation of our Republic."
What he meant of course was a threat to cheating.
