WASHINGTON — President Biden said on Tuesday that he had directed Vice President Kamala Harris to lead Democrats in a sweeping legislative effort to protect voting rights, an issue that is critical to his legacy but one that faces increasingly daunting odds in a divided Senate.
“Today, I’m asking Vice President Harris to help these efforts, and lead them, among her many other responsibilities,” Mr. Biden said during a trip to Tulsa, Okla. “With her leadership and your support, we’re going to overcome again, I promise you, but it’s going to take a hell of a lot of work.”
They are going to overcome again. I guess that means they will overcome fraud-free elections again using the tired canard that normal election rules are inhumanly burdensome on black people. Same guy said black entrepreneurs are just as capable as white entrepreneurs - cause he assumes everyone thinks otherwise, like he does - they just don't have the lawyers and accountants. They have great ideas and all, but all that other stuff the white people do, you know..
Anyway, Kamala is ready to dig in.
“In the days and weeks ahead, I will engage the American people, and I will work with voting rights organizations, community organizations, and the private sector to help strengthen and uplift efforts on voting rights nationwide,” the vice president said. “And we will also work with members of Congress to help advance these bills.”
Hopefully she is just as effective in protecting practices that allow fraudulent voting as she is in fixing the border problem. I suspect she will devote a lot of energy to this one since her career depends on it. I welcome it, because most people can't stand her and anything she promotes will likely suffer.

The vice president has added another, and a politically thorny, problem to her growing portfolio.
