The Biden administration has moved to appoint Vice President Kamala Harris as the head of protecting voter rights.

The appointment follows Texan Republicans moving to establish increased voter restrictions for U-S general elections after Biden’s victory in 2021.

Progressive voter rights groups have applauded the move.

Wendy Weiser from the U-S Democracy Centre says Harris is “the right person given how much of a priority this is and how urgent these problems are.”

In today’s briefing, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said the president sees Harris as someone who can lead challenging initiatives.
