Speaking with Black Entertainment Television (BET) on Tuesday evening, Democrat presidential selectee Kamala Harris explained she doesn’t agree with voter ID laws because some Americans would allegedly have to “photocopy” their driver’s license while being unable to access a Xerox machine.
“I don’t think that we should underestimate what that [voter ID] could mean. Because, in some people’s minds, that means, ‘Well, you’re gonna have to Xerox or photocopy your ID to send it in to prove you are who you are.’ Well, there are a whole lot of people, especially people who live in rural communities, who don’t, there’s not Kinko’s, there’s no OfficeMax near them,” Harris stated.
She continued, “People have to understand that when we’re talking about voter ID laws, be clear about who you have in mind and what would be required of them to prove who they are. Of course, people have to prove who they are, but not in a way that makes it almost impossible for them to prove who they are.”
The notion that rural Americans cannot photocopy their IDs is outdated as the majority of people nowadays can simply take a photo of their ID with their cell phone.
