U.S Vice President’s new appointment that affects your voting rights
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.
