| 'Suppression,' Debunked: Study Concludes Voter ID Laws Do Not Depress Voter Turnout |

| [Townhall] One pillar of dogma among leftist activists is that voter ID laws, under which citizens are required to present a valid form of identification in order to cast ballots in elections, amount to insidious and racist forms of "voter suppression." That term deserves to be placed in scare quotes because it's often employed as a catch-all phrase to describe any policy or idea that liberals believe would reduce their chances of winning. Voter ID laws have been upheld by the Supreme Court as constitutional, and enjoy overwhelming public support -- including approval from large majorities of racial minorities, who evidently don't share the professional Left's racialized hysteria. We've written previously about how, if reducing turnout among certain populations truly were the goal of such laws, they've failed miserably. This example out of Georgia comes to mind: |

| #5 Shame on Townhall for being another news outlet that doesn't make the distinction between LEGAL and ILLEGAL crystal clear, especially in the headline. They have no use for the law. |

| #4 Shame on Townhall for being another news outlet that doesn't make the distinction between LEGAL and ILLEGAL crystal clear, especially in the headline. It should have read " . . . Study Concludes Voter ID Laws Do Not Suppress LEGAL Voter Turnout." Its the same problem with immigration stories that lump legal and illegal into the same category. |
