Poll Shows 75% of Americans Support Voter ID Laws, Including 69% of Black Voters and 82% of Other Non-White Voters
Nov 17, 2024, 08:01 PM
Recent discussions surrounding voter ID laws in the United States reveal significant public support for such measures. A Rasmussen Poll indicates that 75% of Americans favor voter ID laws, with 69% of Black voters and 82% of other non-white voters in agreement. Additionally, 60% of voters believe that requiring photo ID at polling places does not discriminate against minority groups, including 43% of Black voters and 57% of other non-white voters. Critics argue that states lacking voter ID laws dilute the votes of citizens, particularly minority voters, in violation of the Voting Rights Act. Some commentators suggest that the Democratic Party may face backlash from its own supporters regarding this issue, as 92% of Americans reportedly view voter ID as a positive measure.
