Most of the Democrat arguments for their new radical ‘For the People Act,’ which would overhaul voting in the US and make voter fraud and ballot harvesting even easier than it already is, are based on the idea that voting for many people is hard.
Unfortunately for Democrats, new polls are now showing that this just isn’t true.
As The Hill reports:
The For The People Act appears doomed in the Senate, but congressional deliberations over securing the vote surely will continue. Support for the legislation is based on the belief that many voters face impediments to voting and find voting difficult. But do they? Answering the question is crucial now for two reasons. The right to vote is always of central importance in a democracy. And, we need to know from voters whether there were special problems in 2020 given the massive changes in the way Americans voted. What does polling tell us?
Throughout the 2020 campaign, Americans were bombarded with news stories about potential election nightmare scenarios. Would there be a pandemic-related shortage of poll workers? Would the U.S. Postal Service be able to deliver and collect mail ballots on time? Would foreign governments interfere? Would former President Trump’s attacks on voting by mail depress turnout? Perhaps surprisingly, given all the hype, a record number of Americans voted. What’s more, 77 percent in Pew’s post-election poll said they found voting was “very easy” and another 17 percent, “somewhat easy.” Only 1 percent of self-identified voters said it was “very difficult” and 5 percent, “somewhat difficult.”
Wait times were long for some in 2020, but not for a majority of voters. Fifty-nine percent nationally (including 62 percent of whites, 47 percent of Blacks, and 51 percent of Hispanics) waited 10 minutes or not at all. These results come from an exhaustive online post-election survey conducted by the Democracy Fund Voter Study Group (VSG). Another 21 percent waited between 10 minutes and a half-hour, while 11 percent waited 31 minutes to an hour. Eight percent of those voting in person reported waiting more than an hour. One area to note is the racial differences in wait times: 13 percent of Black voters, compared to 7 percent of whites and 8 percent of Hispanics, waited more than an hour.
What about impediments to voting? The VSG poll found little evidence that they were widespread, and the results were surprisingly uniform across racial and ethnic groups. Those of us who study public opinion don’t rely on a single survey to form our inferences. The results of the VSG survey confirm those of earlier surveys from the Public Religion Research Institute and The Atlantic in 2018, NPR/Marist Poll in 2018, and NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist Poll in 2020.
It appears that the Democrat arguments for the ‘For the People’ act are falling apart even faster than its support among moderate Democrats.
The democrats are dreaming & wishing big for the mail in voting to continue so they can cheat big like they did in 2020 election……. that’s the only way they know, it’s really sad that they don’t have no SELF RESPECT, so therefore, they don’t have any respect for anyone else……
Someone please tell me how any person could have trouble voting in this day and age.
Even a blind and deaf person can vote with out trouble and democrats know it but they half to whine and cry all the time to keep power well its changing real fast.REAL FAST.
But the changing is not happening fast enough. By Nov. of next year we may be speaking Russian or Chinese. This admin right along with Congress is putting the ONCE great country in peril. Antifa/blm are Marxist groups that provide division among the racist even though they are the racist.
Well, it could be rather difficult if any of the following are true:
1: the voter is a scatterbrain and never remembers what day it is or where the polling station is etc. maybe due to drugs. or they just can’t decide between voting the way they want and voting how everyone else does, or are mentally handicapped and find it difficult to understand what any of the candidates stand for or are trying to “cheat on the test” by finding out what a person in another booth put down.
2: They do not have a legal ability to engage in voting in that state, precinct, or country.
I think 99.9% of the “difficulty” lies in issue #2.
I mean yeah, that would make it VERY difficult. the problem is, it’s supposed to be difficult because it’s illegal, in fact it’s not supposed to be possible at all!
Thy don’t but the Democrats use race to do there evil deeds
Voting is easy but dems lie all the time.
The trouble wasn’t with voting. The trouble was with having your vote go to the
candidate for whom you voted !
More BS from Dems, anyone can Vote who wanted too
Only people that had trouble voting were illegal
Not in all states. In comes KKKALIPORNIA.
People who are still able to reason, I don’t care your background (including skin color) should not object to showing ID to vote. Voting integrity should be a cause of NO DIVISION! The only reason DEMONKRAPS want no ID is for CHEATING! Who doesn’t understand this??? BLACKS please stand up to the party who thinks your only use is when voting time comes around. All this crap just boggles the mind!
WE ARE A REPUBLIC FIRST, and then you can follow that with the Democracy stuff!
With about 10% of the population being foreign nationals (illegal aliens), pandered to and paid by the Democrats, by 2022, we are DOOMED as a country.
On the evolutionary scene a million years from now the sucessful humans around the area that was the District of Columbia will have HUGE JAW BONES!
It is soooo hard for the dead voter to go to the poling place to vote now days, maybe the communist democrats can supply an Uber to transport them.
How hard can voting be when Democrats are lined up to vote for you? Even when you die.
If the Politicians would get off their butts and try earning their pay and our respect, instead it is too easy to make up lies, invent negative situations plus create hate and discontent. Their only goal is get re-elected
I keep waiting to be proven wrong, but………
Since I was young I have heard the Republican party is about reducing the size of government but helping business.
The Democrats have always been about tax and spend, the Biden bunch is living up to that and more.
Have you had enough ?
Your question is biased. Using the word “recover” is biased because there is nothing to recover from. He is doing a super bangup job agains the most fraudulent opponents in American history/
I don’t buy the democrat lie that voting is too hard for some. What should be hard is to commit FRAUD in elections. This bill only loosens the security measures such that it makes it more probable that fraud will occur. Voter ID is imperative and if people WANT to vote, they can take their little rear ends to the licensing department and get an ID. I find it difficult to believe one can have ID to collect government benefits, buy alcohol, travel by public transportation, apply for a credit card or open a bank account. To imply that blacks are simply not intelligent enough is quite insulting to the entire race and it is too ridiculous to entertain.
According to the questionable vote totals( Xiden got 81 million votes?) apparently voting was as simple as falling off a log. Heck, even dead people were able to cast their votes. Some folks found it so easy they did it 6 or 7 times. People who live in vacant lots cast their votes. I just don’t see how it could get any easier.
The demonRATS want an easier way to cheat in elections. They did a really, really good job of cheating last Nov. but the fraudsters had to stay up late to do it in the dead of night. The demonRATS and other libs want to be able to cheat all day and not have to hide secret illegal ballots until the monitors go home. PRESIDENT TRUMP IS MY PRESIDENT!!!
Actually, the whole thing was based upon A O C’s difficulty in casting her vote. She couldn’t figure out how to make the penpoint come out.
MSG FOR AOC…..IF YOU DONT LIKE THIS COUNTRY THEN MAYBE YOU OUGHT TO LEAVE
As a Poll worker for a few years now, I can tell you voting is the simplest endeavor you will undertake on election day, you walk in tell me your name hand me you Bonifides (License or ID card ) I check your name In the poll book, you sign where I indicate, you are given a polling number, and pointed to a poll. If you Don’t habla Inglaise we have a translator, if you cannot leave your vehicle, I bring the Tabulator out to you. It is easier than driving to work/selecting lunch from a menu/or deciding which restaurant to go to…. It works the same at early voting, but there are steps at the courthouse, and a hundred foot walk, and if you look in the book while signing, you will see that I did it as soon as the poll opened, even though retired/disabled/old( I do not legally have to go in, but I am working there so YOU CAN…. and Every employer I have ever spoken to says they will give you an hour in the morning/Dinner time/evening go vote.
It’s all just another show in the Circus of Politicians that should be behind bars for all the corruption thy do
Democrats want all of your attention on voting so you don’t think about the counting process which controls the outcome of an election.
You have no idea how hard it was for the dead to get out of their graves to vote for Democrats.
