Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell said Monday night that the 2022 midterms could be the country's 'last election' if Republicans win and blasted the GOP for choosing 'violence over voting.'  

'I'm worried that if Republicans win in the midterm elections that voting as we know it in this country will be gone,' Swalwell said on MSNBC's All In with Chris Hayes. 'This is not only the most important election, if we don't get it right, it could be the last election,' he also warned. 

Since the 2020 election - when Americans used mail-in ballots in an unprecedented way and elected Democratic President Joe Biden - Republican-controlled states have tried to roll back mail-in voting and approve measures to make voting harder, such as implementing voter ID requirements.
