Margaret Flavin writes for the Gateway Pundit about an interesting aspect of a recent Kamala Harris rally.
Although the left opposes voter ID and calls the effort to secure American elections “racist,” they apparently have no problem requiring ID for their events.
An email sent to the RSVP list for the Harris-Walz rally in Arizona on Friday said participants must present a matching government-issued photo ID to be admitted to the venue, KTAR reported.
So, requiring ID to vote is racist, but requiring ID to attend an event with Democrats is not?
In a 2021 interview with Soledad O’Brian, Harris talked about how “problematic” voter ID laws are.
“I don’t think that we should underestimate what that could mean.”
“Because in some people’s mind that means, well, you’re going to 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 no Kinko’s, there’s no Office Max near them.”
“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.”
Harris added, “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.”
Here in North Carolina, voters continue to wait for a ruling about the use of voter ID in the November election. U.S. District Judge Loretta Biggs conducted a two-week trial on the issue in May. Biggs has yet to issue a ruling. State Republican legislative leaders have filed a motion asking Biggs to stay any ruling against voter ID. That would give ID supporters an opportunity to appeal the ruling before state election officials make plans to scrap the ID requirement for the fall.
