Joe Biden and Democrats argue voter I.D. requirements, such as Georgia’s new election integrity law, discriminate against minorities.
But according to 73% of Black voters and 81% of other non-White voters, voter I.D is necessary to ensure fair and secure elections, a new Rasmussen survey finds.
In a national survey of 1,000 U.S. likely voters conducted in April, Rasmussen asked:
Are laws requiring voters to show photo identification such as a driver’s license before being allowed to vote necessary to “a fair and secure election process”?
75% (three-fourths) of all U.S. voters said requiring a photo I.D. to vote is a necessity.
19% disagreed, and 6% were “not sure.”

Three-time as many Black voters support (73%) as oppose (24%) requiring a photo I.D.
Other non-White voters' support (81%) is more than six times higher than opposition (13%).
The requirement is favored 74%-19% among White voters.
Rasmussen asked the following question in regard to the boycotts against states that require voters to provide identification:
Some people have called for a boycott of businesses in Georgia, which recently passed an election law requiring voters to show identification.
Do you support or oppose such a boycott?

More voters (50%) said they were against boycotts than those who approved (37%).
3 percent were uncertain.
69% of those who were against voter I.D said they support boycotts of states that impose I.D. requirements.
Other groups supporting boycotts included self-described liberals (52%) and those earning more than $200,000 a year (53%).
Rasmussen's findings are supported by a national survey of U.S. voters conducted by the Honest Election Project, revealing that 77% support voter I.D. requirements, including strong majorities of blacks (64%) and Hispanics (78%).
The survey also found 64% of voters "want to strengthen voting safeguards to prevent fraud, rather than eliminate them to make voting 'easier.'"
