Harris lambasted for remark on rural voters' ability to cast ballots
Washington Examiner via MSN ^ | 7/10/21 | Jeremy Beaman

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.

**SNIP**

"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.

Around me, just east of Atlanta, there are FedExKinkos.

You must live someplace special.

Why do so many on this site feel the need to critique something like this?

Good Lord.

Im sure you really taught Libloather something.

This is a universal problem with the city mind. They all think this way. “How can you live like this? There are no malls? You must be an ignorant idiot to live here”.

Sadly, that’s what all of them think.

They’re the same folks who think of the country broke up along Red and Blue, which I think it should, that the Red states/areas would die in the vine.

Always wondered where the hipsters would get their food from if that ever happened.

When I presented voter ID I used my original driver’s license.

The only reason I can see you’d want a copy machine is if you intended to commit vote fraud.

She does t need to get out of the city. She and her ilk need to keep thinking that places like you live are barbaric.

Otherwise they show up one day and colonize it. Ruining it forever.

“Good God, she’s even dumber than Xiden. Didn’t think that was possible.”

It is possible, she’s really that dumb.

I noticed this during the Democrat Primary debates, as well as the Vice Presidential Debate. Pence took Harris out to the “wood shed.”

I’m not a big Pence fan, but there was a huge difference in intellect between the two candidates. A difference that wasn’t in Harris’s favor.

Georgia recently passed a law that if you vote by mailing in your ballot, you must include a copy of the ID to identify yourself.

May be some other states as well; can’t remember.

City folks stereotype rural folks as hicks in the sticks.

I don’t know what you are talking about regarding lib loather, as he simply posted what Heels Up Harris said. I was suggesting that Harris is out of touch. Fine you have Kinko’s in Atlanta. You should relax a little bit, as you seem pretty easily offended.

They are also the default villains in many movies, homicidal sociopaths lurking in the woods, just waiting for someone’s car to break down at precisely the right spot on the road.

Sounds like she also has never heard of a phone which will allow you to — miracle! — take a photo of your ID and send it wherever it has to go.

You don’t need a freaking copy machine in 2021.

Seems like Miz Harris would want to make it harder for rural voters to vote, since they are more likely to vote republican than urban dwellers.
