Equal Time with Mary C Curtis: ‘This is about whether or not we will have a democracy or an autocracy,’ Clyburn on voting rights

Equal Time with Mary C Curtis: ‘This is about whether or not we will have a democracy or an autocracy,’ Clyburn on voting rights

Voter nullification, authoritarianism, and the end of democracy, that’s what Rep. James E. Clyburn says are the very real consequences of not passing legislation to protect voting rights. The South Carolina Democrat emphasized that voter suppression is not just an issue of access to the ballot box, it includes who gets to overturn elections. “I want you to call it what it is, use the word. Nullification.” said Clyburn, “It is voter nullification.” There are currently two bills, the For the People Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, in front of Congress. Senate Democrats are meeting to hash out a revised bill that could be released next week. Mary C. Curtis sits down with the House Majority Whip to discuss voting rights, and to understand what are the very high stakes and what can be done with dwindling time on the clock.
