Vice President Kamala Harris was decried for saying that some voter identification laws make it "almost impossible" for rural voters at the ballot box, with critics suggesting she doesn't think rural citizens have the wherewithal to use a copy machine.

"There are a whole lot of people, especially people who live in rural communities, who don't — there's no Kinko's, there's no Office Max near them," Harris said. "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."
Critics suggested Harris doesn't understand life in rural America.
"This reminds me that they made Kamala Harris who has only ever lived in cities an envoy to rural Americans," said journalist Zaid Jilani.
"Kamala and her party think rural communities don't have cars, or shopping, or retail, or internet, or phones, or computers or mailboxes or," said conservative commentator Stephen Miller.
"Rural Americans avoid photography in general. They're frightened the magic camera box will steal their soul," wrote Ricochet editor-in-chief Jon Gabriel.

No. We want to stay as far away from your face-recognition spyware as possible.
But did she say it in a Southern accent?
Sounds like Harris has never been in rural America for any time. There are copy machines and they are easy to find. Not everyone needs or wants some chain business like Kinkos.
Pass the Keystone Light 1st cousin Jenny Sue whom I'm gonna consummate our marriage t'night!
Good God, she’s even dumber than Xiden. Didn’t think that was possible.
FedEx bought Kinko’s over 15 years ago. I have not seen a Kinko’s in years, as I believe FedEx has rebranded all their stores and dropped Kinko’s as a name.
We have no Kinkos or any other kind of big box store within 150 miles of my rural home, yet I actually have a copier and can make PDFs at home, and get this...e-mail too!
Speaking of Kamala, there is no horsesarse like a California horsesarse.
They can’t help themselves. And yet there is a segment of society that blindly votes for them.
Are Voter ID laws racist? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=odB1wWPqSlE
Those white kids drip with condescension. And the folks in Harlem will still vote for the Dems.
Well her boss thinks a lot of people of color are too stupid to use a computer.
You must have one of dem www machines.
Why, shucks - we just got indoor plumbing. Next thing you know, we won’t have to cook outside anymore.
East- and Left-coasters are so dumb they think anybody who isn’t them is a hillbilly.
I have a scanner/copier/photo printer attached to the computer I’m typing this entry on. And I live in a small village of a dozen houses in very rural farm village, that has been in existence since 1910. She ought to get out of the big city. And I’ve also been to Washington, DC; London, England; Paris, France; Rome, Italy; and many towns and cities in Germany.
Harris thinks there may be one at the general store next to the chewing tobacco case, with a hound dog curled up on top top sleeping. The pot bellied stove keeps all the Deplorables sitting around it nice and warm and there is even a pay phone and an indoor toilet in the store.
Well that settles it, all rurals should get free Gubmint copy machines! /sarc
