Obama stresses protecting voting rights to avoid ‘further delegitimizing’ democracy

Former President Barack Obama said Monday that action to protect voting rights is even more important in the wake of the 2020 election, taking a swipe at his immediate successor as having violated a “core tenet” of the American election system and for spreading baseless claims of voter fraud.

During a virtual fundraiser for the National Democratic Redistricting Committee with former Attorney General Eric Holder and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Obama said there have been strategies over the last several years to reduce the impact of everyone having the right to vote, including gerrymandering and “straightforward efforts” by state legislatures to suppress and discourage voting.

“If we don’t stop these kinds of efforts now, what we are going to see is more and more contested elections, contested not in the sense of healthy competition but contested in terms of who wins, who loses. We are going to see a further delegitimizing of our democracy,” he said.

Obama also said that former President Donald Trump during the 2020 election had violated a “core tenet that we count the votes and then declare a winner,” adding that people saw him “fabricate and make up a whole bunch of hooey.”
