Kamala Harris: Supporters of ‘Anti-Voter’ Laws Are ‘Working to Interfere’ With Elections

Vice President Kamala Harris claims the freedom to vote is “under assault.”

Harris delivered a speech remotely from Washington to commemorate Martin Luther King Jr. Day, urging lawmakers to fight for the freedom to vote.

“Today, our freedom to vote is under assault. In Georgia and across our nation, anti-voter laws are being passed that could make it more difficult for as many as 55 million Americans to vote,” Harris said.

She continued, “And the proponents of these laws are not only putting in place obstacles to the ballot box. They are also working to interfere with our elections to get the outcomes they want and to discredit those they do not. That is not how democracies work.”

Harris suggested, “This assault on our freedom to vote will be felt by every American in every community in every political party.”

In June 2021, Biden tapped Harris to lead the charge on voting rights legislation.

Still, she did not join President Joe Biden when he met with Senate Democrats to push voting rights legislation last week, as IJR reported.

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki was asked about Harris’ absence.
