Barack Obama to warn that democracy itself is on the line in November election

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Barack Obama will warn on Wednesday night that “democracy itself is on the line” in the approaching presidential election contest between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, Obama’s former vice-president.

In a speech on the third night of the Democratic national convention, airing directly after Senator Kamala Harris was due to officially accept the party’s nomination to be vice-president, the former president was expected to attack Republican efforts to sabotage mail-in voting and ballot access.

“President Obama will highlight the cynical moves by the current administration and the Republican party to discourage Americans from voting,” a spokeswoman, Katie Hill, said in a statement before the speech. “He’ll make a pointed case that democracy itself is on the line – along with the chance to create a better version of it.”

Trump has for months been working to destroy faith in mail-in voting, which an unprecedented number of voters were expected to use in November owing to the coronavirus crisis, which has killed more than 170,000 Americans.
