Democrats Get More Bad Polling News on Voter ID Amid Demagoguery on SAVE America Act

As I've written before, Democrats have been using scare tactics and pushing bogus talking points about voter/photo ID for ages. My home state of North Carolina has a lot of experience in this regard, being one of the red states that leftist groups tried to sue into oblivion over the original GOP-backed voter/photo ID bill that was signed into law in 2013 by our Republican governor at the time, Pat McCrory.

Ultimately, the state prevailed in the courts, but it took a lot of legal wrangling - thanks in part to a 2018 constitutional amendment on voter/photo ID that was approved by voters - to get there. It was a costly, unnecessary battle, especially considering that polling at the time showed clear majorities in the state, including Democrats, supported having a valid photo ID to cast their vote.

Democrats, of course, are still at it to this day, with their latest dooming and glooming being about the Trump-backed SAVE America Act, which Democrat leaders are trying to scare voters into thinking is "Jim Crow 2.0."

Polling on the issue of voter ID has not wavered over the years, either. It continues to consistently show widespread support, with an overwhelming majority of people in this country, including Democrats, black voters, and Hispanic voters, still on board with it - something even CNN couldn't help but acknowledge.

We reported on this in February, when their data guru, Harry Enten, did an analysis of polling on voter ID through the years:

🚨NEW: CNN's Harry Enten: "A photo ID to vote is not controversial in this country. It is not controversial by party — and it is not controversial by race. The vast majority of Americans agree with @NICKIMINAJ." @DailyCaller https://t.co/IGtKg3lsmo pic.twitter.com/9QteRAeLmn

Not only that, but comfortable majorities also support the proof of citizenship requirement idea for registering people to vote, which is a key component of the SAVE America Act:

🟢 Favor: 66%

No matter how you slice it, Congressional Democrats are on the wrong side of this issue. Just like they're on the wrong side of the DHS funding issue, the Iran strikes issue, the Minnesota fraud issue... I could go on and on.

Editor's Note: The Democrats are doing everything in their power to undermine the integrity of our elections.
