Poll: 72% of Americans support voter ID laws

Recommended Posts

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/voter-id-poll-americans-approve-georgia-bill

The Associated Press released new polling data on Friday that illustrated the fact that the majority of Americans are behind laws requiring photo identification to access the ballot box.

The data show the vast majority of Republicans are in favor of requiring an ID to vote with over half of Democrats joining them in backing the idea. Only 24% of Democrats opposed the laws.

Overall, 72% of American adults approve of requiring photo identification to vote, illuminating a sharp contrast between Democratic voters and the message the party has been pushing in the wake of Georgia’s new voting law.

All in how you frame the question. If you asked whether they approve of voter suppression tactics (which is what this actually is), you’d hopefully get 80-90% saying no. Though not at the Geek Club

I don’t want government run healthcare.

I would like true universal healthcare.

Is it possible you are confusing the two?

Absurd, very simple question, should you prove who you are or not when voting. Overwhelming majority say yes.

Anything else is just gaslighting garbage.

fun gaslighting!  Can i try it???

If you asked wether they approve of a racist fascist president (which is what biden is) youd get hopefully 100% saying no.

There is no where at any time in my entire voting life where ID was not required to vote. That is a fake question and not the problem here. Please stop being ignorant.

The first part of the first sentence is all you really need to know, but the analysis goes on to debunk the lies from the left and MSM.

The Left and their media allies have used the new Georgia election law (SB 202) signed into law last week as a pretext for their election takeover with HR. 1,

This is all a play for national takeover of elections, so that they can ensure ballot harvesting nationwide for years to come.  :cheers:

Wow, yes let’s all treat the talking points from a far-right propaganda organization as gospel. Again, when one starts with a faulty premise (the disproven claim that 2020 was a fraudulent election), it’s like a bad foundation. The whole house collapses the first time a strong wind kicks up. Notice the heritage piece assumes that lie is true as its starting point. Hence the house of cards. They also are calling things “myths” and then not even bothering to say they are untrue.

1. "We didn’t have drop boxes in 2016” which wasn’t the point. They took drop boxes away. Period. Whether they had them before 2020 is not the question. They are flat-out lying when they say drop boxes aren’t being taken away. They are cutting them by more than 2/3rds. That is literally taking them away. NOT a myth. They also are reducing the hours one can use a drop box, and putting them inside the polling place instead of outside. They are basically worthless now. It actually would have been more honest to ban them entirely.

2. Onerous ID requirements. Another cover-up and reframing, instead of telling the truth. Absentee voting didn’t ever need an ID in the past. But when absentee voting became popular with Dems instead of just military and older republicans, they need to add more ID requirements. People should be aware that there really is no need for further ID with absentee ballots. To get one, you already need to have registered to vote, which means you already showed ID in order to register, and they are mailing it to your address. This does literally nothing to prevent fraud, because if some mythical vote-stealing criminal is getting your mail, they can get your driver’s license number too by stealing the letters from the DMV. Just a totally unnecessary redundant exercise to make voting more of a pain.I bet this backfires on them though. In 2024, we probably won’t have another pandemic, so absentee voting patterns will return to normal, and this will more likely invalidate military and elderly votes… both of which tend to skew right.

3. Water in line: they don’t even bother to deny it but still call it a myth. The idea is that partisan people are trying to influence voters by giving them water? It was already illegal to campaign for a voter within range of the polling place, so if that was what the water-givers were actually doing, they could have prosecuted them under existing law. And then they pretend the law will shorten lines. It will not do so. It says it will investigate the lines after the next election and supposedly do something about it in subsequent elections. Meaning - nothing changes in the next election; the lines will still be long.

That whole poorly written piece is full of more deflections and spin too. The fact that they list these “‘myths” and then don’t disprove them, but instead make excuses for them or try to explain them away tells you all you need to know.

Here’s another more detailed evaluation of the 98-page law. Each write-up focuses on different aspects of the law. Since this is The NY Times, many people will think it’s inherently biased too (although please note the Heritage piece is explicitly biased and partisan). So look at this and if you think they’re both biased, maybe you can think that the truth is somewhere in the middle. Not everything in the law is bad, but there is bad stuff in it that makes it unnecessarily harder to vote. And the state-level interference in local election boards is draconian and dictatorial. So much for freedom.

If only. Have you read the bill? It is the opposite of that. There’s a reason why big companies who usually skew Republican (due to the lower taxes they get from them) are turning on Georgia’s right-wing nuts like Kemp. The whole law is just 98 pages of butt-hurt because they lost both senate seats and the electoral college seats for President.

Short-sighted too: in 2024, absentee voting will probably return to its typical pattern: mostly military and the elderly. Both skew towards the GOP. So by making it harder for people to vote absentee, they will hurt themselves.

Yeah, she reflects the voice of all those worked up about the bill. None of them know what's in it. creepy joey was making false statements about it as well. Delta and Coke and the MLB need to be boycotted completely. It's good to see a lot of other people out there saying the same thing.

Wow, you are a hack.  The sad thing is I don’t think you realize it.  I would say you cherry picked things, but a lot of what you said aren’t in my link, so you are just making things up again.  Here, I’ll help you.  This is Myth 1 — they claim lots of good things, which do you disagree with?

Quote

Myth 1: The Georgia election law discourages voting/suppresses votes

FACT: The bill actually preserves or expands ballot access in several important ways: It requires that large precincts with lines more than an hour long take steps like adding voting machines and election personnel for the next election to reduce wait times. It does not change the number of total early voting days, and actually increases the mandatory days of early weekend voting. Compared to 2020, 134 of 159 counties will offer more early voting hours in future elections under the new law. It codifies election drop boxes, which did not exist prior to 2020. Voters can continue to vote absentee with no excuse(unlike states like Delaware, New York, and Connecticut, which require an excuse to vote absentee).

Perhaps you dislike “codifies election drop boxes” which means “we aren’t going to just leave them unlocked and unguarded out on a street corner; you actually have to bring them somewhere with non-zero security.”  Putting a drop box inside of a polling place is “basically worthless now?”  Do you even read what you type?  You don’t think there should be some protection?  Oh that’s right, there is little evidence of fraud before 2020, and that extends to today, with the new unsecured drop boxes.  Never mind, you don’t get it.  I know I know, like in Spinal Tap, yours goes to 11.  :thumbsup:

The MLB is pulling the all star game out of Atlanta because of the Georgia bill requiring an ID to vote. Same for Coke and Delta speaking up against it.

They say black people don't have the ability to get IDs. And it's racist to require them to have one to vote.

That's not true in the least. The MLB stated it specifically. 

Also, creepy joey himself said it's because they can't have water. But yet the bill only says that political campaigners only can't hand out freebies. And  a person can bring their own focking water if they need it so badly?

My God, why aren't certain people able to take care of themselves without needing someone to give them something while they sell their politics?
