Poll: Majority of Americans Favor Voter ID Laws by a Huge Margin

Democrats like to pretend that voter ID laws are some modern-day disenfranchisement efforts. These same Democrats ask for ID at Democrat events, however, so their logic- and I use that term loosely- is flimsy, to say the least.

 

Apparently, the bulk of America agrees that there is nothing sinister about voter ID laws as a new poll shows that 7 in 10 registered voters are in favor of identification laws for voting.

 

I suppose they’re all “racists,” too…

 

According to a new Fox News poll, 7 in 10 registered voters favored the laws with the majority of blacks and Democrats also polling in favor of them.

 

The Hill Reports: 

The 70 percent who support voter ID laws remains largely unchanged in the past few years. Another 27 percent believe the laws are unnecessary…

 

The survey found majorities of every demographic support the law. Ninety-one percent of Republicans offer support, and 66 percent of independents feel the same.

 

Fifty-five percent of Democrats support the laws, while 43 percent oppose them.

 

Opposition to the laws is highest among black respondents, but even there a bare majority, 51 percent, support them. Forty-six percent of African Americans oppose the laws…

 

The poll asked, “Supporters of these laws say they are necessary to stop ineligible people from voting illegally. Opponents say these laws are unnecessary and mostly discourage legal voters from voting. What do you think?”

 

The poll surveyed 1,025 registered voters and margin of error of plus or minus 3 percent. 

In essence, voter ID laws requires states ask from those looking to vote the same burden of proof that is required to board a plane, drive a car, buy a beer, buy cigarettes, pick-up tickets at will-call, get into an R-rated movie or place a bet.

 

Democrats, in order to win on this issue, must, somehow, demonstrate that it is more unreasonable to ask for an ID at the voting booths than it is for a clerk to ask for ID at a late night showing of a horror movie.

 

All in all, the case against voter ID laws is not only flimsy, it’s downright laughable in its ridiculousness.
