Kamala Harris, the US vice chairman and Democrat presidential candidate, has been a vocal opponent of voter ID rules. In a 2021 meeting with Soledad O’Brien on BET, Harris expressed concern that remote areas might be disproportionately affected by such laws, making it difficult for them to comply with ID requirements.
” I do n’t think that we should underestimate what that could mean”, Harris said. ” Because in some people’s brain that methods, well, you’re going to have to Xerox or print your Card to take it in to confirm you are who you are. Well, there are a whole lot of people, especially people who live in rural communities, who do n’t – there’s no Kinko’s, there’s no Office Max near them. Be clear about who you want to ask and what documentation may be required of them when it comes to voting ID laws.
