DETROIT (AP) — Vice President Kamala Harris declined Sunday to say how she voted the key vote measure in her home state of California, which would reverse criminal justice reforms passed in recent years.

Harris addressed a question about the ballot initiative in comments to reporters while campaigning in the battleground state of Michigan. She also confirmed two days before Election Day that her mail-in ballot was “on its way to California.”

“I will not talk about the vote in this regard. Because, frankly, it’s the Sunday before the election, and I’m not going to build support one way or the other around it,” said Harris, a former San Francisco district attorney, California attorney general and U.S. senator before being elected vice president in 2020. .

The initiative, if passed, would make the crime of theft a felony for repeat offenders and increase penalties for some drug charges, including those involving the synthetic opioid fentanyl. It would also give judges the authority to order people with multiple drug charges to receive treatment.
