Whites are more supportive of voter ID laws when shown photos of black people voting
By Christopher Ingraham October 14 at 11:06 AM

Sixty-seven percent of white Americans support voter ID laws, according to a new University of Delaware study of 1,436 U.S. adults. But when the voter ID question was accompanied by a photo of black people using a voting machine, white support for voter ID laws jumped to 73 percent. ... "

Jackie: I think Mr Ingraham should jolly well stop showing those photos!

Alan Thanks, Jackie. Great idea. How to play the flute. (picking up a flute) Well here we are. You blow there and you move your fingers up and down here.

Noel Great, great, Alan. Well, next week we'll be showing you how black and white people can live together in peace and harmony, and Alan will be over in Moscow showing us how to reconcile the Russians and the Chinese. So, until next week, cheerio.

The fact remains that voter ID laws disproportionately disenfranchise black voters. I can't say that was the intention, but there is no question that those who push these partisan travesties knew that would be a consequence.

I would think it has more to do with the methodology of the study.
Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.
