Former Vice President Kamala Harris criticized a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling that struck down a key provision of the Voting Rights Act while speaking at Public Counsel’s Annual Event, where she received the William O. Douglas Award. Harris argued the decision would make it harder to challenge racially discriminatory electoral maps and accused opponents of a long-term effort to restrict voting access. In her remarks, she warned that political actors were “strategic” and “ruthless,” adding that Democrats must also be “ruthless” in defending voting rights.
