Vice President Kamala Harris has received backlash on social media after it was revealed that her campaign required attendees at a recent campaign rally to present a government-issued photo ID. This requirement raised eyebrows due to the Democratic nominee's opposition to voter ID laws.

The rally, held in Arizona alongside vice presidential running mate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, required confirmed RSVPs for entry, according to an email sent out by the Harris campaign. Attendees were instructed to bring a matching government-issued photo ID to gain admission to the Desert Diamond Arena, located just outside of downtown Phoenix.

The announcement of the event, initially made on July 30th, withheld specific details until Thursday. Invitations were sent out by the Arizona Democratic Party via email on Thursday afternoon, with the event scheduled for Friday between 1:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m.

Screenshots of the email started circulating on social media, leading to criticism and accusations of hypocrisy directed at Harris. Prominent figures like actor Kevin Sorbo and political commentator Gunther Eagleman took to Twitter to question the discrepancy between Harris requiring ID for campaign events but opposing voter ID laws.

The issue of voter ID laws has been a topic of discussion for Harris. In a 2021 interview on BET, she expressed concerns about potential difficulties faced by rural communities in obtaining ID. Harris emphasized the need to ensure that voter ID requirements do not disproportionately impact certain populations.

It is worth noting that Harris's stance on voter ID laws is clear, stating in an op-ed for The Washington Post that such laws are being used to suppress the voting rights of people of color. She highlighted tactics such as voter roll purges and reduced early-voting days, claiming that these measures disproportionately affect communities of color.

Fox News Digital reached out to the Harris campaign for comment, but there has been no immediate response. The controversy surrounding the ID requirement at the campaign rally brings attention to the ongoing debate over voter ID laws and serves as a reminder of the scrutiny faced by political figures on issues of consistency and fairness in voting processes.
