DETROIT (AP) — Vice President Kamala Harris won’t say how she voted on a ballot measure in her home state of California that would reverse criminal justice reforms approved in recent years. Harris punted on a question Sunday about the ballot initiative when she was asked about it by reporters while campaigning in Michigan. She confirmed that her mail-in ballot in Tuesday’s election is on its way to California. The initiative, if passed, would make the crime of shoplifting a felony for repeat offenders and increase penalties for some drug charges, including those involving the synthetic opioid fentanyl. It also would give judges the authority to order those with multiple drug charges to get treatment.
