Vast Majority Of Americans Want Voter ID And Democrats Don't Care

 Are voter ID requirements considered a controversial idea in the eyes of US citizens?  If you watch the establishment media or follow leaders in the Democratic Party then you might think bills like the SAVE Act are the end of freedom as we know it.  However, outside the echo chambers of DNC propaganda, the vast majority of Americans have no problem whatsoever with people proving their US citizenship before they vote in local and federal elections. 

The widespread support for voter ID is undeniable.  Surveys from the past year including those from Pew and Gallup show that, regardless of party or ethnicity, Americans citizens want elections to be protected from manipulation through mass illegal immigration.  

A Pew Research Center survey from August 2025 found that 83% of Americans favor requiring all voters to show government-issued photo ID to vote. This includes:

95% of Republicans

71% of Democrats

Only 16% of people oppose it.

A Gallup poll from 2024 shows 84% support for requiring photo ID to vote, with 98% of Republicans, 84% of independents and 67% of Democrats in approval.

A recent CNN segment featuring number cruncher Harry Enten confirms that the backing for the SAVE Act is also dominant regardless of ethnicity:  85% of white voter, 82% of Latino voters and 76% of black voters all want voter ID.  It's difficult to find many issues which the American public universally supports at this level. 

Democrat leaders, however, don't care that the majority of their own base wants voter ID laws.  Party officials and the left-wing media have engaged in a shameless propaganda campaign designed to frighten the public into opposing the SAVE Act, despite their previous platforms defending majority rule.  They consistently compare the new laws to "Jim Crow" era restrictions, claiming that minorities (and rural Americans) are too dumb to figure out how to get access to state IDs and birth certificates.  

In truth, every state that already has some form of election ID laws has seen a spike in voter participation, not a decline.  Only 8 states have laws demanding proof of citizenship before voting (half of the states are in legal battles to implement them); the other 42 only require that you check a box that says you are a citizen.

When Democrats are asked why they are ignoring their majority of their constituents when it comes to the SAVE Act, they launch into tirades about racism and fascism, but never seem to be able to answer the question.

This SAVE AMERICA ACT debate has revealed a truth about the Left: they think black voters, married women, and rural voters are too stupid to figure out how to vote. What a wild, condescending argument. pic.twitter.com/RWQgdnxYXw

It's difficult to reconcile the rhetoric of Democrats from 2024 when they wailed and screamed about conservatives being a "threat to democracy" compared to their rhetoric today.  At bottom, the political left only supports majority public decisions when those decisions work in the favor of leftist elites.  

The majority of Americans continue to support the Trump Administration's deportations of all illegal migrants (not just migrants with violent criminal records), but Dem leaders and their NGO partners continue trying to thwart the will of the people.  By extension, voter ID makes it far more difficult for non-citizens to vote and makes it easier for voting records to be checked for discrepancies. 

It's clear that ID requirements and tighter controls on mail-in ballots will work heavily against Democrats and, if passed, they are likely to see a sharp decline in votes across the board.  They are fighting against the SAVE Act because they want oligarchy, not "democracy."  They want minority elitist control over government policy.   

Voter ID is perhaps the most important legal question of our era; it will determine the course of elections for many years to come.  Most western countries have laws in place to prevent illegal migrant voting and foreign manipulation of elections.  The US is the only country in which this type of law is treated as "racist".
