    Narrow minded, one sided summary of a political issue

    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.

    Nonsense movie not backed up fi

    Nonsense movie not backed up with fact. They represent only half of the issue, while demonizing others.

    Strong, Useful Information on Threat to our Electoral System

    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.

    Hilarious parody

    Actual voter suppression done by the Mueller report by delayed release after the 2018 Election. Not mentioned was voter suppression by the Russian hoax from the Hillary dossier a.k.a. Steele dossier. And? Not one case with evidence of actual voter suppression as this movie said. It's so pathetic it's a funny parody.

    Rigged...A 2020 election story.

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