The View co-host Sunny Hostin has claimed that voter ID laws disproportionately harm Black Americans and women, while asserting that fewer voter restrictions would allow more people to participate.
During an episode of The View‘s official podcast, Behind the Table, Hostin discussed how voter ID laws make it difficult for poor people to vote.
“The reason Democrats don’t want voter ID is because they make it much more difficult for elderly people, people who don’t travel… poor people don’t have cars, don’t have driver’s licenses,” Hostin claimed.
“It’s sort of a vestige, I think, of post-slavery laws where black people had to prove their right to vote, and oftentimes they couldn’t vote because they couldn’t pass some crazy test.”
Hostin then argued that women are also adversely affected by voter ID laws because their passports may “reflect something that’s different on your birth certificate or on your driver’s license.”
“Really the bottom line is voter suppression,” Hostin declared.

Currently, 35 states require identification to cast votes, with 23 of those requiring identification that includes a photograph.
Earlier this month, Wisconsin voters enshrined the state’s voter ID law in its constitution—a major win for Republicans and advocates of election integrity.
Wisconsin requires voters to present a valid photo ID to cast a ballot. The recent approval elevates this requirement to the level of a constitutional amendment.
State Senator Van Wanggaard, a co-author of the measure, said earlier this year:
“I am unwilling to let this basic election integrity measure be overturned by the state Supreme Court.” “The only way to ensure this stays the law of the land is to put it in the constitution.”
The measure, which cleared two consecutive legislative sessions in the GOP-controlled Wisconsin Assembly and Senate, specifies that voters must provide “valid photographic identification” but does not outline specific acceptable forms of ID.
President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to celebrate the victory:
“VOTER ID. JUST APPROVED IN WISCONSIN ELECTION. Democrats fought hard against this, presumably so they can CHEAT. This is a BIG WIN FOR REPUBLICANS, MAYBE THE BIGGEST WIN OF THE NIGHT. IT SHOULD ALLOW US TO WIN WISCONSIN, LIKE I JUST DID IN THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, FOR MANY YEARS TO COME!”
She’s alluding to “Jim Crow laws,” all of which were passed by Democrats.
I demand to use a check when buying things, get a ticket from a cop, board a plane or sign a mortgage, all without having to provide a photo ID, else everybody be racist!
Seriously, this woman believes a lot of really unfounded, straight up lies. She tells a little truth with many lies.
I really believe she is that stupid and isn't lying on purpose.
It's that she doesn't know sht and keeps talking.
Anyone who thinks poor people don’t have ID haven’t been in the grocery checkout when the “poor” people buy alcohol.
her socks are all monogrammed TGIF = TOES GO IN FIRST
They love throwing slavery into everything.
When you walk into a polling place, what do they ask you?? Name and address. Yet it would somehow be weird to be able to prove that you’re that person and are authorized to vote in that particular ward or precinct.
Please spare me a post from this stupid loser. Publishing her inanities just promotes her celebrity.
Fookin’ idjits. That’s my view. 😊👍
The proper response to the lie that voter ID suppresses the black vote is that the empirical evidence from GA is that black voter participation increased. The only reason to oppose voter ID is that the proponent plans to cheat.
If she took the time to engage her brain before speaking, she would realize that what she is saying is that black people are too stupid to get IDs and can’t be bothered to do so.
And she’s a former DOJ prosecutor............
She is either totally bereft of morals or is a complete blithering idiot.
Our old great, great grand parents should have picked their own photo IDs
That’s why they have voter ID all over Europe, its their history of slavery.
White liberals think blacks are too stupid to get an I.D.
Blacks disagree.

How did she manage to get hers?
You have been brainwashed by the peasantry. To her, whatever she says, is the utter truth. Or, at least as close to the truth that she thinks your little mind can comprehend.
Commie trash lie. On everything. Alla time. You cannot be a commie if you cannot lie. They are struggling against the peasants to take the world into a glorious future (for them) and THE END JUSTIFIES THE MEANS.
I loved watching her response on “Finding Your Roots” when she found out that she’s a descendant of Spanish Slave Owners and TRADERS!.........
