Poll: Only 28% of Americans Support HR 1 - the 'For the People Act'
CNSNEWS ^ | By Ashlianna Kreiner | June 9, 2021

A poll by the Honest Elections Project (HEP) shows only 28 percent of people who are informed about HR 1, the “For the People Act,” actually support it.

“Only 29% of voters know anything at all about this expansive legislative attempt to reshape American elections, but when they are informed, only 28% support its passage,” the Honest Elections Project said in a memo to members of Congress and state legislators.

“Over three-quarters (77%) want people to show a photo ID to cast a ballot, while only 14% oppose it. Voters who supported Joe Biden in the 2020 election back ID requirements by nearly 40 points (62% vs. 24%). Majorities of Republicans (92%), Independents (75%), and Democrats (63%) all support voter ID,” the poll results show.

“Liberal activists and politicians reflexively attack any policy they disagree with—voter ID laws and ballot trafficking bans, for instance—as ‘voter suppression,’ and have created a misleading narrative that frames these policies as unpopular, unnecessary, and discriminatory,” but the data shows that “both Black and Hispanic voters favor them (for Black voters, 64% vs. 22%; for Hispanic voters, 78% vs. 16%),” HEP said.

“Similarly, 64% of Black voters, 77% of Hispanics, and 76% of low-income voters reject the notion that showing an ID is a ‘burden,’ despite frequent claims from the left,” it added.

Most voters (64%) want voting to be safeguarded, and they “view voter ID laws and other anti-fraud prophylactics as necessary parts of a credible and legitimate voting system. Voting must be accessible, but it also must be secure.” According to the poll, only 21% supported taking away the safeguarding procedures to make voting easier...

That means that even a significant number of Democrats are against this fetid pile of steaming excrement.

The only supporters are likely public employees.

Ya, and half of that 28% really believes it stops voter suppression.

The other half are happy for the help in cheating.

And 2/3 of the 28% have no idea what it is about; they just think it must be good, since being pushed by Dems.

It’s funny how hard people try to understand irrational Leftist positions. They try to make sense of them - or at least try to figure out what caused the “misunderstanding”.

The trouble is, there is no misunderstanding. The Marxist leaders of the Progressive movement know full well that their agendas are counterproductive and destructive.

That is their intention - the discrediting and destruction of our self-governing Republic. The Constitution and Bill of Rights are obstacles in their path to tyranny.

If we govern ourselves then they can’t govern us - so their agenda is not about solving problems - they lie when they say it is. It is about creating problems, conflicts and social divisions to convince us that self-governance is a failure.

The border is a perfect example. They are purposely trying to cause chaos.
Climate change is another - they are purposely trying to tank the economy.
Systemic racism is another - they are trying to start a real race war.

Wait until the morning, support will be up to 95%.
