The reality of Texas' new voting law sets in as some voters have trouble casting ballots

It took 28 days, 3 forms & several calls for one woman to cast her ballot.

Twenty-eight days, three forms, and several calls -- that's what Pam Gaskin says it took for her to finally be able to cast her ballot in Texas. The 74-year-old has voted by mail for nearly a decade, but this year, she says a typically easy process turned into a "nightmare."

"It's like being in a maze. You don't know which way to turn," she told ABC News' Congressional Correspondent Rachel Scott.

Texas Republicans passed a sweeping election overhaul bill last year which includes adding new requirements for mail-in voting, expanding access to partisan poll watchers, and banned drive through and 24-hour voting, which was largely utilized by Harris County. Now, with Texas voters heading to the polls for the nation's first primary, the impact of the state's new and strict election law is being felt for the first time.

"Jim Crow 2.0," Gaskin called the new law. "These laws were meant to stop certain classes and categories of people from voting," she said.
