Biden Appoints Harris to Lead White House Efforts on Voting Rights

President Joe Biden announced on June 1 that he has placed Vice President Kamala Harris in charge of White House efforts to protect voting rights.

Voting is a โ€œsacred right under assault with incredible intensity like Iโ€™ve never seen,โ€ the president said, referring to efforts by Republican state lawmakers nationwide to tighten election security. He made the remarks during a visit to Tulsa, Oklahoma, on the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa race massacre.

โ€œIโ€™m asking Vice President Harris to help these efforts, to lead them among her many other responsibilities. With her leadership and your support, weโ€™re going to overcome again,โ€ Biden said. โ€œItโ€™s going to take a hell of a lot of work.โ€

The president described the more than 380 election overhaul bills in 48 states as โ€œa truly unprecedented assault on our democracy.โ€

โ€œEvery American has a right to have their voice heard at the ballot box, and no American should be kept from voting early, voting by mail, or voting at all,โ€ Harris said in a statement.

โ€œOur Administration will not stand by when confronted with any effort that keeps Americans from voting,โ€ she said, adding that she will work with voting rights organizations, community organizations, the private sector, and lawmakers to bolster voting rights.

Florida and Georgia have both added measures to protect the sanctity of the ballot box and to add security to other methods of voting. Those laws have faced significant opposition from Democrats.

In Texas on May 31, House Democrats staged a walkout of the chamber in an effort to prevent the passage of a sweeping election overhaul bill that would grant more power to poll watchers by giving them more access inside polling areas, while creating new penalties against election officials who restrict poll watchersโ€™ movements, among other measures.
