Description
"January 6 drove home the degree to which the United States right now is facing one of the gravest crises for its democracy," says Ian Bassin, the executive director of Protect Democracy, one year after supporters of Donald Trump stormed the US Capitol and shut down Congress. Bassin also warns that "the way that democracies die in the 21st century is not by fire, but by law." According to his nonprofit organization, Republican state legislators introduced over 260 bills in 2021 that would undermine voting rights in the country. SOUNDBITES
