Clyburn: 2022 elections are 'going to be chaotic' in wake of new state voting laws
CNN
House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn on Tuesday said voting in this year's midterm elections will be "chaotic" in the wake of a raft of new election laws passed by GOP-controlled legislatures.
"It is going to be chaotic, no question about that. I've been on the phone earlier today as well as some virtual meetings with the clergy all over the country," the South Carolina Democrat said on CNN's "Don Lemon Tonight" when asked about the potential impact of the new laws. "We are organizing now to fight this kind of suppression. We know what they are doing in Texas is designed to be able to deny voters the right to vote. We know that."
Clyburn's comments underscore frustrations and confusion expressed in Texas over the state's new restrictive election law as early voting in Texas' March 1 primary is underway. Texas is one of 19 states that passed a total of 33 laws in 2021 that make it harder to vote, according to a tally by the liberal-leaning Brennan Center for Justice at New York University's School of Law.
