Vice President Kamala Harris says she is speaking with Republican senators on a key piece of voting legislation. During a phone interview with CBS News, the vice president said there is "no bright line" defining whom she speaks to about voting rights legislation. She said it's "a non-partisan issue" and "should be approached that way."
In response to a question about whether she had spoken with any GOP senators about S. 1, the sweeping voting rights bill that has been blocked in the Senate, she replied, "I have spoken to Republican senators — both elected Republicans and Republican leaders," Harris said, and she identified one GOP senator.
I find Vice President Harris’s comments about voting rights being a nonpartisan issue to be correct. Voting rights concern people’s right to vote. Who some communities are more or less likely to vote should have no impact on the legislation states pass which affect voting rights and availability.
