The call, an apparent imitation or digital manipulation of the president’s voice, says, “Voting this Tuesday only enables the Republicans in their quest to elect Donald Trump again.”

A prominent New Hampshire Democrat plans to file a complaint with the state attorney general over an apparent robocall that appears to encourage supporters of President Joe Biden not to vote in Tuesday’s presidential primary.

The voice in the message is familiar — even presidential — as it’s an apparent imitation or digital manipulation of Biden’s voice.

“What a bunch of malarkey,” the voice message begins, echoing a favorite term Biden has uttered before.

    Ironic how the reverse will never happen. Only the right-wing benefit from less people voting. It’s such a shit asymmetry.

      Ironically, past examples actually give Republicans an edge when more people vote. When people who don’t normally follow or discuss politics vote, they’re more likely to vote GOP than an educated person.

      But yes, a Democrat is less likely to break federal laws in general, such as a stunt like this.
