Harris to highlight voting rights, election reform in Jan. 6 speech

Vice President Harris on Thursday will warn that democracy is being tested in the U.S. on the anniversary of the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol, and outline the need to strengthen voting rights and elections.

Harris will say the attack on the Capitol one year ago was "an assault on our freedom and values," a White House official said in a statement previewing her remarks.

"The Vice President will outline that the American experiment is being tested, and that we must work to secure voting rights, ensure free and fair elections, and safeguard our democracy for generations to come," the official said. "She will also honor the brave men and women in law enforcement, who fought to uphold our democracy, protected the Capitol and saved the lives of the people who were there."

Harris will deliver remarks at Statuary Hall in the Capitol on Thursday alongside President Biden, who is expected to condemn efforts by some Republicans to rewrite the history of that day and call out continued efforts to undermine American democracy.

Sounds as though the time is about right for a season of anti-Americans bashing and voter rights embracing.
Time for an all points riposte against anti-constitutionalists who reject the American tradition of 'peaceful transfer of power'.
