Kamala Harris' Stunning Flip-Flop: From Paper Ballots Advocate To Mail-In Voting Supporter

These tweets, sent in 2019, showcased Harris' advocacy for the Secure Elections Act, a bill she co-sponsored during her time in the Senate.

Harris consistently emphasized the use of paper ballots as the most secure method for conducting elections, highlighting instances of voting machine malfunctions across the country, particularly in Pennsylvania. In a tweet from February 2019, Harris stated, "Paper ballots are the smartest, safest way to ensure your vote is secure against attacks by foreign actors. Russia can't hack a piece of paper like they can a computer."

Throughout the year, Harris reiterated her stance, urging then-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to take action in passing the Secure Elections Act, which would have mandated the use of hand-marked paper ballots in all federal elections. Unfortunately, the bill never progressed beyond the introduction stage.

The proposed legislation would have required voters to cast their ballots by hand on paper, which would then be counted either manually or through the use of optical character recognition or other counting devices.

However, as the Washington Post reports, when the COVID-19 pandemic struck in 2020, Harris shifted her focus from paper ballots to mail-in voting. She sponsored the VoteSafe Act, which aimed to allocate $5 billion to states to expand mail-in voting and allow individuals to vote by mail without providing a reason for not voting in person.

Following the 2020 election, concerns arose among conservatives regarding potential issues with voting machines in various states, with some suggesting that these errors may have impacted former President Donald Trump's performance.

Upon the resurfacing of Harris' previous tweets on the subject, Twitter users pointed out the shift in perception towards those advocating for enhanced election security after the 2020 election.

One user remarked, "11 months before the 2020 vote, future VP Harris pushed for paper ballots due to machine failure in PA in November 2019. If you mention possible problems in 2020, you're labeled a conspiracy theorist undermining democracy."

Harris' past support for paper ballots underscores her commitment to ensuring the integrity and security of the electoral process, particularly in light of concerns surrounding foreign interference and voting machine malfunctions.
