Harris rips Georgia, Texas election measures as 'inhumane'
Vice President Harris called election measures in Georgia and Texas "inhumane" and pushed for national standards on voting while speaking at an event Tuesday to mark National Voter Registration Day.
"We got to do something about putting teeth back in the voter, the Voting Rights Act, right? But we also need to deal with the fact that we need to have some national standards," Harris said in remarks at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va. "So states like Texas and Georgia can't just go on and say-it's inhumane-you can't give food or water to people in the standing."
Harris told a class of 13 students that the right to vote is under threat. President Biden put the vice president in charge of the administration's efforts to protect voting rights in June.
"On this National Voter Registration Day, I'm here to talk about where we are in connection with what you have demonstrated as your ability to organize the power of your vote, but also in a climate where the right to vote is being threatened, because there are laws that are being passed to make it more difficult to vote so you don't," she said.
