Harris: Rural people might not be able to photocopy their IDs to satisfy new voting laws

Interviewer Soledad O'Brien asked Harris, "People are talking about potential compromises. Is agreeing to voter ID one of those compromises that you'd support?" "I don't think that we should underestimate what that could mean," Harris replied. "Because in some people's mind, that means, well, you're going to have to Xerox or photocopy your ID to send it in to prove that you are who you are." "Well, there are a whole lot of people, especially people who live in rural communities, who don't — there's no Kinko's, there's no OfficeMax near them," the vice president said, citing two retail chains that offered photocopy services. Kinkos was purchased by FedEx for $2.2 billion in 2003, and the last Kinkos stores were shuttered in 2008.
