Vice President Kamala Harris found herself in the hot seat as online users mocked her campaign’s requirement for rally attendees to present a government-issued ID, despite her stance against voter ID laws. The event, held in Arizona alongside running mate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, had an email sent out by her campaign stating that only those with a matching government-issued photo ID would be admitted.
The campaign’s email, shared widely on social media, drew criticism for its perceived hypocrisy. Actor Kevin Sorbo and others highlighted the irony of requiring an ID for a political rally but opposing it for voting. “Voter ID is racist, but you can’t get into a Kamala rally without ID,” Sorbo posted to his followers.

The event location, Desert Diamond Arena, was kept under wraps until the day before the rally. Attendees were allowed entry between 1:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m., with invitations sent out via email by the Arizona Democratic Party.
In a 2021 interview with Soledad O’Brien on BET, Harris expressed concerns about voter ID laws, citing potential difficulties for rural residents without easy access to photocopy services. She emphasized the need for voter identification while acknowledging the potential for it to be used to suppress certain communities.
During her 2020 vice presidential campaign, Harris wrote an op-ed in The Washington Post marking the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment. She criticized voter suppression tactics and accused Republicans of targeting communities of color through voter ID laws, racial gerrymandering, and other methods.
As of press time, the Harris campaign had not responded to Fox News Digital‘s request for comment on the controversy.
