Rigged: The Voter Suppression Playbook (2019)

8.5/10 • 79 min • Documentary

Overview

"Rigged" shows viewers just what Republicans did – and continue to do – from creating new barriers to voter registration, to purging American citizens from the voting rolls without notice, to new and deliberate impediments to casting a vote. In addition, the film shows how GOP activists developed an elaborate but false narrative of widespread voter fraud in order to justify the necessity for new and draconian voting restrictions.
