She’s already known for word salads and a loose affiliation with the truth, but failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris’ recent remarks disparaging widely popular voter ID laws nevertheless stood out this weekend.

The former vice president offered a mix of platitudes and talking points, but the accuracy of her assessment was debatable, to say the least.

As Breitbart reported:

“Hey everybody, so they’re trying to mess with your ability to vote, just to break it all down. You’ve got the Supreme Court,” Harris said. “They just sealed the deal with this case that just came up recently, the Callais decision, which basically took the power out of the Voting Rights Act, which was designed to protect your right to vote.”

 

Harris then took aim at the SAVE Act, arguing its proof-of-citizenship requirement would create obstacles for Americans trying to register to vote.

“So you got the Supreme Court doing its thing. Then this president is trying to push this SAVE Act, which basically would require that for people to register to vote,” Harris added. “You’re going to have to have proof of who you are… through a passport, which a lot of Americans don’t have, or a birth certificate. Same point, obstacles to make it difficult for you to register to vote.”

The legislation, however, does not limit proof of citizenship to a passport or birth certificate. The SAVE America Act allows other forms of documentation, including certain REAL ID-compliant identification and qualifying military identification.

Here’s a sampling of the reaction her video received:

Meanwhile, the legislation currently stalled in Congress has overwhelming support among the American people.

As the Washington Times reported:

Those who support the legislation make up 62% of likely voters compared with 33% who oppose it, according to a Wednesday survey from Rasmussen Reports.

The SAVE America Act would require documentary proof of citizenship, generally a passport or certified birth certificate, presented in person before a federal voter registration application can be accepted.

And here’s a look back at Harris’ shifting stances on the issue:
