This week, I wrote about polls that show the public is not buying the apocalyptic predictions of the imminent death of democracy unless Kamala Harris is elected president. Now, a new poll shatters another main talking point of pundits and the press. Democratic candidates, including Vice President Harris, have denounced voter identification laws as “Jim Crow 2.0” attacks on voters. A majority of voters have long supported these laws. According to a new Gallup poll, that majority is now a supermajority.
Despite unrelenting attacks on these laws in the media, eight in ten Americans now support both laws:
With less than two weeks to go in the presidential campaign and voting already underway in many states, 76% of U.S. adults favor the concept of early voting. Two other election law policies are supported by even more Americans — requiring photo identification to vote (84%) and providing proof of citizenship when registering to vote for the first time (83%). …
Majorities of Americans favor a range of election law policies that expand voters’ access to the ballot box, including early voting, automatic voter registration, and sending absentee ballot applications to all eligible voters. They also broadly support measures to limit fraud and ensure election integrity, including requiring photo identification to vote and providing proof of citizenship when first registering to vote.
There are few major political issues today that could show this type of overwhelming support, including from Democrats. Yet, both the Democratic politicians and pundits continue to denounce these laws. Indeed, the campaign against Georgia resulted in their losing the All-Star Game and its economic benefits. Yet, under these laws, Georgia is setting records in the turnout of voters.
In the meantime, the Biden Administration is continuing to oppose and legally challenge efforts of states like Virginia to remove alleged non-citizens from their voting rolls.
Only a dumb person that has been on the democrat plantation for decades would believe bringing in millions of Christians that have strong families would be a guaranteed democrat vote. Thanks Obama.
Vote on election day in person, show ID proving USA citizen, mark paper ballot, count by hand, results night of election. R’s had four years to fix election problems, of course those cucks did nothing. They’re perfectly happy being “the loyal opposition losers”. It’s a uniparty, it’s a big club, and You’re not in it.
I didn’t get that survey, WTF? They survey me all the time.
Ya know, it’s essential if ONLY to assure people only vote ONCE! That’s not complicated
Yesterday we voted early in LaSalle County, Illinois. We were asked for NO ID, NO voter’s card, only for a signature attesting we had voted early.
States are in charge of their own elections.
But the federal government should explicitly use federal money as an incentive to FORCE states to reform their election processes to ensure honest elections: Voter ID, purple ink, purge the rolls, paper ballots, etc.
The people want this.
The 20% who do not should be banned from voting for life.
Voting should only be allowed when the voter shows a state ID or drivers license that is Real ID Act (2005) compliant.

I was an involuntary member of a union for decades. My union does not support voter ID laws, as even a minor mixup can deny a citizen his right to vote. Plus the laws themselves are demeaning.
Oh, and one more thing. To vote in my union’s elections, you had to present your ID at the door. But that alone wasn’t good enough. Somebody working at the door had to personally know you.
Unions are, among other things, laughably hypocritical.
YES! YES! YES!
It’s the Dung Beetle Party turd rollers who don’t want those thing because they are trying to keep election stealing alive. Stealing elections is the only hope they have.
Well that would be the end for the DemocRATS!! ...imho
I’m 100% for legal immigration. I know some immigrants than are very passionate about their profession and family
Clinical hysteria is their default mode
The 80/20 Rule is in effect!
Tyrants can’t maintain power with free, legal and fair voting.
1) Determine which political party opposes voter ID & only citizens voting.
2) Vote for candidates of the other party.
ALL non-communist countries in world requires voter ID to vote. Only exception is United States. Even a poorer country like India with 5 times more voters than US, requires government issued photo ID to vote.
Not in CaCaLand. The thugs in charge just passed a law that outlaws any use of any ID during voting on any position. No one may ask for it and no one may show it.
RASIST!!
