Vice President Kamala Harris required photo IDs for entry to an Arizona rally, despite her well-known opposition to voter ID laws, sparking criticism and debate over the inconsistency.
Vice President Kamala Harris required attendees at a rally in Arizona on Friday to present photo IDs, despite her and President Joe Biden's opposition to voter ID laws.
According to Fox News, Harris, alongside her running mate Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, held the rally at Desert Diamond Arena. The venue was only announced the day before the event, adding to the anticipation.
Only those who had RSVP’d via email and provided a “matching government-issued photo ID” were allowed entry to the Arizona campaign event. The Arizona Democratic Party sent out the invitation emails, specifying that attendees needed both an RSVP and a matching ID due to security concerns.
Social media users quickly reacted to the news, with one person questioning the inconsistency: “Dems want ID to get into a rally but not to vote???” Another commented, “ID’s for a rally but not a federal election? I’m calling bullshit on the bullshit! Get it together.” Others echoed similar sentiments, pointing out the contrast between the security measures for the rally and the party's stance on election security.
Harris has consistently opposed voter ID laws and other measures aimed at strengthening election integrity. Brianna Lyman of the Federalist highlighted that the Biden-Harris administration has "vehemently opposed" such measures, with Harris being particularly vocal about her intent to challenge election security laws.
Recent reports indicate that the more radical elements of the Democratic Party have pressured Harris to maintain her strong stance on key legislative issues, as concerns grow about her perceived shift toward the middle.
