Rigged: The Voter Suppression Playbook

While we were sleeping, our nation has been under attack by a group of citizens stealthily developing goals and strategies as a path to political power. Their long-range vision, meticulous planning and persistence in achieving their goals are frighteningly successful. Hopefully, this film will alert more people to the threat to our democracy, and will encourage those who object.

Rigged is a powerful, information-packed program on how during a ten year period since the election of a black President, Republicans and their allies have deliberately devised a playbook of strategies to suppress or intimidate minority voters.The documentary goes into detail on each of the ten strategies, showing examples of them in action,such as a lady sheriff in a Texas county who has a Latino man arrested on the charge of voter fraud, and a busybody in a rural Carolina county who goes about getting voters who haven't participated in several recent polls purged from the database.The film does give some hope in the sense that at least one of the strategies, the cumbersome Voter ID laws, has been temporarily stopped in some of the states shown, by the courts.But mostly this film will have to serve as a tool for groups who want to make sure that the right of citizens to vote can be protected from these threats.

Democrats think so little of minorities that they can't believe they know how to go to the DMV and get an ID. They do it to get on planes, buy alcohol, and dozens of other common activities in America, but to show an I'd to vote is now racist and suppression. What a lie!!!

Boy...this documentary certainly didn't age well. Voter suppression does not exist.

I was intrigued by the premise of the movie and have a soft spot for the narrator, Jeffrey Wright from Hunger Games. Disappointed to see the documentary wasn't a factual, balanced review of a serious subject but rather a politically motivated narrative with predictable tropes. 1 star for content. +1 star for a good narrator.
