Democrat Defeat: Manchin Kills Election Takeover Bill; Obama Accuses GOP States Pushing Voter Integrity Laws of ‘Rigging’ Elections

By Breitbart. Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) announced Sunday he will vote against the For the People Act to federalize local elections.

“I believe that partisan voting legislation will destroy the already weakening binds of our democracy, and for that reason, I will vote against the For the People Act. Furthermore, I will not vote to weaken or eliminate the filibuster,” he wrote in Charleston Gazette-Mail.

“As such, congressional action on federal voting rights legislation must be the result of both Democrats and Republicans coming together to find a pathway forward or we risk further dividing and destroying the republic we swore to protect and defend as elected officials,” he continued. . .

“With that in mind, some Democrats have again proposed eliminating the Senate filibuster rule in order to pass the For the People Act with only Democratic support,” he said. “They’ve attempted to demonize the filibuster and conveniently ignore how it has been critical to protecting the rights of Democrats in the past.” (Read more from “Democrat Defeat: Manchin Kills Election Takeover Bill” HERE)

Obama Accuses GOP States Pushing Voter Integrity Laws of ‘Rigging’ Elections

By Townhall. Former President Obama criticized voting laws being passed by Republicans across the country, saying that such changes to the voting system is “rigging the game.”

He said during an Economic Club of Chicago event Friday about the new election integrity law in Georgia:

That’s the kind of dangerous behavior that we’re going to have to push back on.

. . .

The former president suggested that in passing laws aimed at protecting the validity of elections, Republican lawmakers were attempting to rig elections.

Are we going to stick to those rules or are we going to start rigging the game in a way that breaks it? And that’s not going to be good for business, not to mention not good for our soul.
