Poll: Americans are more concerned about restrictive voting laws than election fraud

More than half of adults in the United States are more concerned about laws restricting voting access than making sure that no one who is ineligible votes, according to a new survey from NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist.

Why it matters: 67% of Americans — including majorities of Republicans, Democrats and independents — said they believed American democracy is currently under threat, though the survey did not ask what they believed is threatening it.

By the numbers: 72% of Republicans in the survey supported the goal of ensuring that no one who votes is ineligible to do so, while 85% of Democrats and 52% independents supported making it easier to vote.

There was broad agreement that people must show a government-issued ID in order to vote, with 94% of Republicans, 83% of independents and 57% of Democrats agreeing with that requirement.

It sucks that Voter ID has become so wholesale accepted by so many people. We got along fine without it for over 2 centuries.
