Siasa · Voter ID bill · Kumbukumbu77% of Americans Support Voter ID—The Bill Has Only a 7% ChanceImeandikwa 7 Septemba 2026, 21:22 UTCTazamaNakala ya maneno0:0077% of Americans want photo voter ID at0:03the polls. That's from a new CNN poll,0:06and it includes 62% of Democrats, 77% of0:09independents, and 95% of Republicans, a0:12level of cross-partisan agreement almost0:14extinct in American politics. The0:16Republican number is near unanimous, but0:18even among Democrats, nearly 2/3 are in0:21favor.0:22A narrower majority, 54%, also supports0:25requiring proof of citizenship to0:26register. Independents split 49 to 38%,0:30a majority but a tight one. And 90% of0:32adults say they can produce that0:34citizenship proof very easily or with0:36some effort, leaving about 26 million0:38people for whom the hurdle would be0:39high, the 10% who say it's hard or0:41impossible. And yet, cash prediction0:43markets give the SAVE Act, the bill that0:45would enact both measures, just a 7%0:48chance of becoming law before January0:494th, 2027. That is not a rounding error.0:53It is a chasm. What the markets are0:55pricing in is not public opinion, but0:56the reality of a divided Congress, the0:58Senate filibuster, and the distance1:00between what voters tell pollsters and1:02what their legislators can deliver. The1:03unresolved question is not whether1:05Americans support these measures, the1:06CNN data answers that. It is whether the1:09mechanisms of American lawmaking can1:10translate that support into a statute.1:12And if they cannot, what that says about1:14the gap between the public will and the1:16legislative output.Soma makalaMfuatano wa matukio ya habariHeyDexVideo fupi ↗
