PODUNK, KS—Vice President Kamala Harris caused quite a stir while trying to help rural Americans vote. She traveled to some of the most backwater areas of America — thousands of miles from civilization — and brought a photocopier to show them how to copy an ID card. The rural Americans had never seen such a device, though, and soon became angry at it.
“It’s stealing our documents’ souls!” exclaimed one simple rural American upon seeing his ID copied. He then pointed an accusing finger at Harris. “She must be a witch!”
“I am not a witch,” Harris stated, though her statement was undercut by the way she kept cackling like one.
The angry rural folk then tied Harris to a stake to burn her as a witch.
“It was not my idea to impose advanced city technology on your simple rural brains!” Harris pleaded with them. “That is the fault of the Republicans! I wanted to spare you from this!”
The rural people ignored her and began lighting kindling around her feet.
“Science forgive them!” Harris called out. “They know not what they do! For they are too rural and simple! Their brains are filled with nothing but knowledge about corn!”
Go here to read the rest.
Depending on the brand of the copier shown, they might have been right to burn her.
(yes I’ve worked in IT)
(yes I have strong opinions on copiers)
Why did Kamala even bring up Kinkos, Office Max? Where is she going with photocopied IDs? States need to decide what documents for proof of identity, citizenship and address is accessible for voting. These documents have to be tbe originals or a certified copy of the original. A driver license or an ID with current address from the DMV or perhaps a passport or passport card all of which have head shots is the most convenient so far. In VA a new driver license will be required though COVID interfered with the program.
PS we have libraries with free photo copiers in rural Virginia. Try buying a bottle of booze, making a withdrawal or deposit at a bank, etc with a paper photo copy.
Hey…
wait a minute.
I like corn.
