Progressive claim that requiring ID’s to vote is racist. The left claims it discriminates against minorities. Well one minority group doesn’t mind voter ID laws. A majority of Hispanics support voter ID laws. This comes as no surprise to any rational thinking person. Who would oppose showing an ID to vote?

In recent months, the Obama Justice Department and Democrats on Capitol Hill have mounted a full-scale assault on state voter identification laws.  Accusing Republicans of trying to return to the days of Jim Crow, Democrats allege that the laws, many of which require a photo ID for voting, discriminate against blacks and Hispanics.  But an extensive new pollof Hispanic voters in the key electoral states of Florida, Colorado, and New Mexico shows strong support for those very photo ID laws.

As part of a broad survey of Hispanic attitudes on a variety of political issues, the poll, conducted for the conservative group Resurgent Republic, asked a sample of 1,200 voters the following question: “As you may have heard, many states are considering laws that would require registered voters to present photo identification, such as a driver’s license, in order to cast their vote.  Do you support or oppose those laws?”

In Florida, 88 percent of those surveyed said they support the laws, while just ten percent oppose them.  In Colorado 71 percent support the law, while 26 percent oppose, and in New Mexico, 73 percent support the law, while 25 percent oppose.  In general, Hispanic voters in Colorado and New Mexico are more liberal than those in Florida.  But strong majorities in all three states favor photo ID laws.

Another egg in the face of the Left.
