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.

    Someone should do this for Trump - his dumbass supporters would probably fall for it.

    They absolutely would, especially if the robocall message were to paint not voting as an act of rebellion that sticks it to election stealers and ultimately helps Trump.

    I’m aware it makes no logical sense. But when dealing with propaganda consumers, it only has to make the most base sort of visceral emotional sense. Characterize anything as an act of rebellion that helps Trump and sticks it to “the libs” and you’ll have them doing whatever you want.
