   Harris campaign requires I.D. to attend her rally, even though she   
   opposes voter I.D.   
      
   “Yet, we have seen in the state of Georgia, by example, anti-voter laws,   
   laws that have limited drop boxes and made it illegal to even provide   
   food and water to people standing in line for hours,” Harris said. But   
   getting into her rally required valid ID.   
      
   her campaign recently required that attendees present a valid   
   identification to RSVP for one of her rallies.   
      
   The event took place Friday at the Desert Diamond Arena near Phoenix,   
   Ariz. Ahead of the event, the campaign distributed an email requiring   
   attendees to RSVP and to present a government-issued I.D.   
      
   The requirement drew rebuke from conservatives online in light of   
   Harris’s past opposition to voter I.D. laws and other election integrity   
   measures.   
      
   “Democrat Principles In Action: Requiring a government-issued ID to   
   vote? Racist voter suppression!!! Requiring a government-issued ID to   
   get into a Kamala Harris rally? Perfectly reasonable,” former Arkansas   
   Gov, Mike Huckabee wrote on X.   
      
   President Joe Biden in 2021, tapped Harris to lead the administration’s   
   voting rights initiatives, a role in which she often criticized   
   legislative efforts to ensure that only valid voters cast ballots.   
      
   While running for president in her first campaign, however, she espoused   
   support for paper ballots as the best way to safeguard elections, making   
   the remarks in the context of Russian interference in the 2016 election.   
      
   “We have proposed that part of the investment in infrastructure has to   
   be upgrading the infrastructure of states around elections,” she said in   
   2019. “Because, guess what? As it turns out, for all that technology has   
   brought us, good and bad, the best and most secure way to conduct   
   elections? Paper ballots.”   
      
   “‘Cause, the way that I say it, kind of half-joking, ‘Russia can’t hack   
   a piece of paper,’” she added.   
      
   While on the campaign trail as Biden’s running mate, Harris maligned   
   "suppressive voter ID laws, racial gerrymandering, voter roll purges,   
   precinct closures and reduced early-voting days”, contending that those   
   measures had been “laser-targeted toward communities of color,”   
   according to Fox.   
      
   Since her appointment from Biden, moreover, Harris has heavily   
   scrutinized state-level efforts to limit mail-in voting and to otherwise   
   verify the legitimacy of a ballot or voter. Georgia, in particular, fell   
   into her crosshairs.   
      
   When the law was passed in 2021, Harris derided it as a “renewed attempt   
   to suppress the ability of people to vote” in an interview with the   
   Atlanta Journal-Constitution.   
      
   More recently in January, Harris met with voting rights advocates in   
   Atlanta, Ga., during which she advocated for the John Lewis Voting   
   Rights Advancement Act, a proposed expansion of federal voting rights   
   protections that ultimately did not become law.   
      
   While there, she pointed to what the White House called a “full-on   
   assault on the freedom to vote” from “extremists,” referring to   
   Republican-driven efforts to secure Georgia elections driven, in part,   
   by Trump’s criticisms of alleged irregularities.   
      
   “Yet, we have seen in the state of Georgia, by example, anti-voter laws,   
   laws that have limited drop boxes and made it illegal to even provide   
   food and water to people standing in line for hours,” Harris said,   
   according to the Georgia Recorder.
