Obama said, “We’re now seeing state legislatures try to further suppress the vote or allow partisan politics to infect voting results and election results.”

Typical Alinsky/Goebbels projection.

Hey Obama! I’m not American and neither are you! At least I know it’s a constitutional Republic and not a democracy!

Go back to Kenya you turd throwing monkey!

When leftist/commies use the term 'threat to democracy' they mean 'threat to THEIR power'...

Obummer’s an infection that has started innumerable amounts of damage to America, and it’s only going to get worse as he stokes the socialist/communist racial flames.

>> Democracy should never have been a word we use to describe our Republic and Government. It’s commie speak. <<

Actual Communists who rolled out tanks to murder protestors demanding democracy at Tiananmen Square would strongly disagree with you. Call for "democracy" in a Communist regime is a good way to get killed:

“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.”

What a dirt bag Obama really is. Voting illegally is alright as long as the Rats are elected into office. Well I as a legitimate voter don’t like having my vote canceled out by an Illegal voter or Non-Citizen.

I also don’t like seeing my vote totally discarded with out reason and No tracking mechanism to follow where that vote went.

People should be required by law to have a photographic I.D. issued by the state they reside in to vote in any election and they should be a U.S. citizen to vote in any Federal election.

Asking someone to prove their identity in order to vote is not a threat to our Republic. It is meant to protect the government we have from voter cheating. State it like it is Obama and stop trying to twist it your way.

Obama ignores is probably clueless that the ill-conceived 17th Amendment (17A) is the most infamous example why the power to vote needs to be limited as the delegates to the Constitutional Convention (Con-Con) had intended, the delegates giving the power to elect senators uniquely to state lawmakers. This is because the delegates had intended for the states, not the federal government, to care for the people.
"[…] the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Federal Constitution, is in the States, and not in the Federal Government [emphasis added].” —Rep. John Bingham, Congressional Globe, 1866. (See about middle of 3rd column.)

Delegates intended for state lawmakers to elect federal senators who would kill any bill, particularly appropriations bills, that not only steal 10th Amendment-protected state powers, but also state revenues uniquely associated with those powers.

“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

But 17A unthinkingly nuked the voices of the state legislatures in Congress, destroying a major constitutional firewall, for the following explanation.

Since parents aren't making sure that their children are being taught about the federal government's constitutionally limited powers as the delegates to the Con-Con had intended for those powers to be understood, we have the following ongoing constitutional crisis as a consequence of 17A.

Constitutionally ignorant voters unsurprisingly don't seem understand that one of the main things that 17A won for them is more power to complain about the U.S. Mail Service, the mail service being one of the very few powers that the states have actually given the feds to deal with so-called federal domestic policy.

In other words, since the corrupt Senate is no longer killing unconstitutional bills as the Con-Con delegates had intended for it to do, most federal domestic policy is now based on state powers and state revenues that the corrupt feds steal from the state.

The feds steal state revenues by means of unconstitutional federal taxes, takes that Congress cannot justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers. (Here's the Gibbons v. Ogden excerpt again.)

“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

It can can be argued that ordinary citizen voters have single-handedly created the unconstitutionally big federal government by abusing their 17A power to elect crooks to the Senate. So while constitutionally clueless voters blame everything on the feds, I think that it is more accurate and honest to call the tyranny of the unconstitutional big federal government self-inflicted social Darwinism thanks to 17A.

The remedy for unconstitutionally big federal government oppressing everybody under its boots...

Trump's red tsunami of patriot supporters need to primary all candidates for federal and state offices who don't clearly promise help to put the corrupt federal government back into its constitutionally limited power "cage."

n a Friday interview with Good Morning America, Obama said, "We're now seeing state legislatures try to further suppress the vote or allow partisan politics to infect voting results and election results. That troubles me."

Good, keep it up states! Let's move obozo from being troubled to absolutely driven insane.

Exactly. It’s how he got a second term. The Republicans never have a good push back on the dem line that showing a voter ID is suppressing anyone. The majority of Americans think the lax voting is wrong and want it tightened up. Who is suppressed? They are trying to re live the 1950s and 1960s.
