Good evening. I m erin burnett. Our democracy on the line is the quote from former president barack obama tonight as he says the united states must protect voting rights or america s democracy could be destroyed invoking the january 6th insurrection to make a point. The violence that occurred in the u. S. Capitol on january 6th, just a few months ago should remind us that we can t take our democracy for granted. Around the world we ve seen once vibrant democracies go into reverse. Walking in power for autographs and business interest and blocking out of the political process, protesters and opposition parties and the voices of ordinary people. It is happening in other places around the world and these impulses have crept into the united states. We are not immune from some of these efforts to weaken our democracy.
