OBAMA: "This whole notion of election, of voting fraud -- this is something that has constantly been disproved. This is -- fake news. The notion that there are whole bunch of people out there who are not eligible to vote and want to vote. We have the opposite problem. We have a whole bunch of people who are eligible to vote who do not vote. So the idea that we put in place a whole bunch of barriers to people voting, does not make sense. And as I said before, political gerrymandering makes your vote matter less because politicians have decided you live in a district where everybody votes the same way you do, so these are not competitive races and we get 90 percent democratic districts, 90 percent Republican districts. That is bad for our democracy, too."
