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.

Yes, but the only heating we have is a wood stove. We do have running water, and if that shuts down there's always the stream nearby.
“But Your Majesty, They have no Kinko`s.”
“Let them use crayons.”
LOL! Love it! :)
“We do have running water, and if that shuts down there’s always the stream nearby.”
A number of years back, local news was interviewing a woman who had lived to be 100 years old. They were going on and on about all the ‘technological marvels’ that she must have seen in her 100 years on Earth.
They asked her what her favorite advancement was in her lifetime so far and she didn’t miss a beat:
“Indoor Plumbing!”

She hasn't been anywhere outside of an "elite" bubble in many decades.
if there’s a library, there’s a copy machine. If there’s a general store or feed store or mill or gas station or post office or school, or indian reservation, they likely have one, too - 15cents a page for locals. She doesn’t understand that rural folk have all she does and more, sometimes just as shiny new, delivered by the exact same UPS and Fed-X trucks as city people.
My wife had an online friend from NYC who came to our wedding years ago. We live in Indianapolis the 17th largest city in the country. Before she came out she actually asked my wife if they had rental cars in Indianapolis. Her husband wouldn’t even come because he felt uncomfortable about coming out into flyover country. I guess he thought we still had Indians running around.
Precisely
Ah aint gots no vacuum tube for my newfangled moving picture window box machine let alone fix my gramaphone so I finna dance the jitterbug.
Kinko’s (1970–2004), FedEx Kinko’s, (2004–2008)
FedEx bought kinko’s in 2004. June 2, 2008, FedEx announced re-branding FedEx Kinko’s to FedEx Office, the entire retail branch of the FedEx Corporation. Since early 2010, some stores and branding were still showing FedEx Kinko’s signage. They still have not gotten rid of signage in some few areas.
She is that far out of date. There is no corporate FedEx support for either of these names. The idiot stoner, fake rapper listener and fake much else is really quite... STUPID.
I guess “Ms Human Mattress of 1990-2010” never heard of a LIBRARY and their copiers.
In fact she hasn’t heard of much information that is useful for daily life.
I guess it is hard to read a newspaper when you spent most of your political life lying on your back.
Saying she’s dumber than a stump is an understatement.
But a question. If you or someone you know needs that much copying done or some type of service that can’t be accomplished on a home or office printer, NOBODY says…..I need to go to FedExKinkos…..Folks say I need to find a Kinkos, regardless of who owns it.
It’s a ludicrous assertion but even it it were true it makes no sense.
Having a copy machine has nothing to do with showing ID.
Press is corrupt as this should be lambasted.
Kinkos? I guess I must be really rural. Almost forgot that they ever existed.
BTW, why would I need to use a copy machine when voting?
No, the name is long retired from colloquialisms.
There are Office Max, Staples, everywhere in suburban areas, as well as Office Depot. They ALL offer self serve copying, scanning and computer time. Staples-— you know the company Romney (and the idiots at Bain Capital consulting—real “geniuses”) supposedly rescued. Struggling.
There are also, in many rural post offices... copiers. And don’t forget libraries. It is asinine to assume “rural” people are 1.)stupid and 2.) do not have their own businesses with a copier and.... omg! computers.
One should also realize (if this nightmare harridan ever spent any time at all in “rural” America) that there are... churches, and they offer services to their members, copies, notary and even paralegals.
Love to hear what this biotch thinks of the “urban” blacks— who are so well controlled in urban center projects they do as they are paid by ..... “community organizers” (see: Obamaumao the First, who uh,... never lived in projects, not even US Dept. of Agriculture housing). For a great reference on this— see someone who grew up in projects, and is a senior neurologist/surgeon and was HUD Secretary— Ben Carson, MD. He ought to call out this indian/jamaican/Canadian socialist high yellow elitist dumba@@.
The most amazing “tell” of this idiot heels up’s commentary is the truth of their assumption, predicated on every single “hep” for the rural people type fedgov programs.
The response to this crap from Appalachia (all the way from N. Alabama to Pennsylvania) is disgust.
Wherever they are, rural or urban— it is “Country” folks— people raised on self-sufficiency— who threaten these gubmint morons whose job is to spread the walking around money- oh, and don’t forget the “CRISIS OF A HURRICANE” that makes them feel really good distributing generators and “food” through FEMA (that gets parceled and hoarded by local dem crooks, btw). That is who this biotch is— a “fly in” to El Paso-— not the broken border sites where the drug cartels are swarming in. Control the narrative.
Vent over. Country folks, white, black...here’s how it has been expressed vs. Urban street apes: Country Folks Can Survive.

I think it’s way past being asinine. The amount of condescension these people have for everyday people is at a level that I don’t think many would be able to comprehend. Just think about what Boxer told that Navy Officer about ‘earning the right’(??) to be called Senator. Here’s a woman that did absolutely NOTHING, somehow convinced the people of California that she should be one of the states Senators.
I guess, after years of cocktail parties, patting themselves on the back, using each other to climb the ladder, in the case of Harris, it was also getting on her back and knees, and they now truly think that most folks don’t know which knob to turn for hot water.
