HR1's sweeping changes and deadlines could sow 'confusion, chaos, fraud, and litigation,’ report says

A new report explores potentially severe consequences that House Democrats' voting reform bill HR1 could have on states across the country -- including ones that already have progressive laws on the books.

The Honest Elections Project, a group that in 2020 warned of flaws in several states' voting systems, warns that if the bill passes in its current form, it would overwhelm state governments that would be forced to make significant reforms under short deadlines or face legal consequences.

"It has the potential to create confusion, chaos, fraud, and litigation," the group said in a new report on HR1's impacts.
