Kamala Harris: It Is ‘Almost Impossible’ For Rural Americans To Make Photocopies
During an interview on BET over the weekend, Vice President Kamala Harris said it was “almost impossible” for rural Americans to photocopy their IDs to prove who they are so they can vote, prompting a backlash on social media from users stating the claims were offensive and pointing out how the ability to make a photocopy is practically universal in the United States.
“People are talking about potential compromises,” BET’s Soledad O’Brien asked. “Is agreeing to voter ID one of those compromises that you’d support?”
“I don’t think that we should underestimate what that could mean,” Harris replied. “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 Kinkos, there’s no OfficeMax 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,” she continued. “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.”
Harris was mocked on Twitter for her comments, with one user writing, “I live on top of a mountain on the WV/VA border and I can photocopy my ID. I mean I do it while moonshining White Lightning while dueling banjos play in the background but I can still do it.”

Texas Senator Ted Cruz wrote, “Cause, you know, country folks don’t have electricity, much less access to copiers or smart phones. They’re too busy running moonshine & sliding on the hoods of their cars.”

And another user tweeted, “Insulting and untrue. Bottom line: Kamala, you need to start forgetting all about 2024 before the Democrats do it for you.”
