Kamala Harris recently took to Twitter and praised two supposedly nonpartisan poll workers, saying that “our democracy” cannot function without these people.
However, she was almost immediately called out by sharp-eyed Twitter/X users who recognized one of the men as a far-left activist.
What are the odds that Harris didn't know that when she sent her initial tweet?
Fox News reports:
Kamala Harris praises 'nonpartisan poll worker', which immediately backfires when people find out who he is
Vice President Harris took to social media to praise the efforts of poll workers amid the presidential primaries and just months before the 2024 election, but her complimentary remarks quickly backfired.
“Our democracy cannot function without nonpartisan poll workers like Vasu and Rob who I met in Georgia. President Biden and I thank you and we support you,” she said Tuesday on X, sharing a photo of herself listening to Vasu Abhiraman.
Instead of applauding the “nonpartisan” poll worker, X's Community Notes immediately tagged the tweet with additional context “readers might want to know,” including that Abhiraman is actually a liberal advocate promoting the progressive movement.
“The nonpartisan poll worker on the left is Vasu Abhiraman, a staffer for the Left Alliance for Justice and formerly of the ACLU of Georgia,” a notice on Harris’ tweet said.

Society is taking notice once again doing what major media “fact-checkers” refuse to do. https://t.co/k2BH1qCVV0

Great societal observation and a great example of how Democrats can work with leftist groups to advance their anti-election integrity agenda. https://t.co/rIjOoJbdzV

The “nonpartisan poll worker” on the left is Vasu Abhiraman, a staffer for the Left Alliance for Justice and formerly of the ACLU of Georgia. This is the type the federal government employs to register voters and it's actually illegal! https://t.co/L2fNUUfsyu

Of course, you'll never hear about this on CNN or MSNBC. This is the Twitter/X value.
