For instance, public opinion is strongly against perhaps the most controversial provision of Georgia’s new law: the prohibition on giving food or water to people waiting in line to vote. In a different, March 29 poll, YouGov found that only 18 percent of Americans thought handing out food and water should be illegal, while 69 percent thought it should be allowed.
On the other hand, the public strongly supports one of the other major stipulations of Georgia’s new law: the ID requirement for absentee voting. That latest YouGov/The Economist poll found that Americans support requiring a photo ID in order to vote absentee, 53 percent to 28 percent. And Georgians are even more supportive: 74 percent of registered voters in the UGA/AJC poll backed requiring voters to include a copy of their photo ID or other documentation in order to vote by mail. Only 22 percent were opposed.
Indeed, voter ID laws — which Republicans have pushed for years — are quite popular in general. In another national poll out this week from Selzer & Co./Grinnell College, 56 percent of adults favored keeping laws that require people to show a photo ID before voting, while just 36 percent wanted to eliminate them. And this isn’t an opinion Americans suddenly adopted amid 2020’s specious claims of voter fraud. In fall 2018, the Pew Research Center found that 76 percent of Americans favored requiring everyone to show a government-issued photo ID in order to vote, versus only 23 percent who opposed it.

What’s the point of an “Election Day” if people may vote a month early or vote late. Why not let people vote all day Saturday or all day Sunday, but in-person, absentee voting should be policed and not be easy. Early and late voting should be banned. People should prove who they are by ID and even fingerprint, etc. registration must not be allowed on or near Election Day. Vagrants may NOT vote through seombody else’s address without ID, as was done in Georgia...where vagrant/homeless people voted all at one address without any proof of residence or ID. God knows who voted as vagrants or home many times under different names....including out of state voters.,,,and their votes were harvested by voting activist-criminals
During the last election there were Democrat sponsored food wagons right outside of polling places. It was not a matter of giving out.water. It was a matter of campaigning with bribery meals.
“Americans Oppose Many Voting Restrictions ...”
Democrats oppose. Big difference.
Voter ID laws are critical to stop the fraud in my opinion. However, the real problem is mail in ballots. The fraud in voting by mail is incalculable and almost impossible to prove. If a handle isn’t got on mail in voting the democrats will easily steal every election from here on out.
