Despite the hyperbole and race-baiting of the left, voter
ID is popular and always polls well. You
have to have an ID for so many basic things, it strains all common sense that a
law requiring ID to vote and providing a free ID is somehow racist.
A new
poll shows that liberal African American supporters of President Obama also
support voter ID.
The poll of more than 1,000
registered voters found wide black support – 86 percent – for President Barack
Obama. But a slight majority of those blacks surveyed - 51 percent – also supported state-level
voter ID laws Obama claims are an attack on blacks.
This is incredible considering the constant drum beat of
those on the far left such as MSNBC and Obama Administration officials like Eric
Holder who have been calling voter ID racist basically non-stop for three
years. While the group who commissioned the
poll was a conservative African American group, the people
who responded were not:
On other issues, surveyed
blacks overwhelmingly sided with Obama on his controversial handling of the
economy at 89 percent and Obamacare at 83 percent, making this break with him
on the issue of voter ID all the more noteworthy.
Voter ID is an important tool to stop fraud and the
majority of all Americans in virtually any statistically significant category
agree.
