Democrats, and the Dead, will hate this: 75% Support Showing Photo IDs at Polls

This will stop the dead and illegals, who typically vote for Democrats.

From Rasmussen Reports:

Support remains high for requiring voters to show photo identification before being allowed to cast their ballots. An increasing number of states across the country are putting that requirement into law.

DNC Chief, Debbie Wasserman-Shultz (D-FL) thinks this takes us back to the days of Jim Crow laws. Democrats know a lot about Jim Crow laws since it was their party who used them to segregate blacks.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 75% of Likely U.S. Voters believe voters should be required to show photo identification such as a driver's license before being allowed to vote. Just 18% disagree and oppose such a requirement. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Eighty-five percent (85%) of Republicans support a photo ID requirement at the polls, as do 77% of voters not affiliated with either major party and 63% of Democrats. But then support for such a law is high across virtually all demographic groups.

Supporters of photo ID laws say they will prevent fraud at the polls; opponents insist the laws will discourage many including minorities and older Americans from voting.

Does showing an ID stop these groups from cashing a check or flying on an airplane? You have to show ID to do both of these things.

By a 48% to 29% margin, voters think that letting ineligible people vote is a bigger problem than preventing legitimate voters from casting a ballot.

A plurality (46%) of Democrats thinks it's more common for eligible voters to be denied their right to vote. Seventy-two percent (72%) of Republicans and a plurality (44%) of voters not affiliated with either party, on the other hand, believe that illegal voting is more prevalent.

Only one percent (1%) say they have ever been illegally denied the right to vote.
