Rasmussen Reports came out with a poll saying 77% of those polled agree that states should require a photo id to vote. 7 states, including Georgia, passed laws requiring the photo id to vote. Minnesota Secretary of State Mary Kiffmeyer, a Republican, supports the photo id requirement. The measure also passed the Republican controlled Minnesota House. It failed in the Minnesota Senate. Supporters of photo id say they're concerned about voter fraud. Critics call the measure voter supression and will challenge the measure in the courts.
I didn't really study the polls methodology and know some have concerns about Rasmussen. Nevertheless, it's an interesting topic to discuss over the weekend.
