New Study: Voter ID Laws Aren’t Racist After All

Democrats have been screaming for years that voter ID laws that require people to show photo identification before casting a ballot have a discriminatory effect on minorities. They’ve used this argument not just for political effect, but also in legal challenges to these laws – some of which they’ve been successful in blocking.

But a new study conducted by researchers from three Ivy League universities suggests that any correlation between minority turnout and voter ID laws is, as of now, unproven. Authored by academics from Stanford, Yale, and the University of Pennsylvania, the study could turn the tide of debate…if it isn’t buried by the Democrats before it can see the light of day, that is.

The study was essentially a peer review of an earlier study, which the authors contend came to a faulty conclusion.

“To study how voter identification laws affect participation in elections, Hajnal, Lajevardi and Nielson (2017) examines validated turnout data in five national surveys conducted between 2006 and 2014,” the authors wrote of the earlier study.

“The study concludes that strict ID laws cause a large turnout decline among minorities, especially Latinos. Here, we show that the results of this paper are a product of large data inaccuracies, that the evidence does not support the stated conclusion, and that model specifications produce highly variable results,” they continued.

The authors said that once those data errors were corrected, the correlation between voter ID laws and minority turnout vanished.

“Our findings underscore that no definitive relationship between strict voter ID laws and turnout can be established from the validated CCES data,” they wrote.

The researchers were careful to make the distinction between what their study did and did not prove. They said that voter ID laws may very well depress minority voting; their only claim is that the earlier study – much cited by the liberal press – did not prove that this was the case.

This “voter ID laws are racist” argument from the Democrats never made a lick of sense, and this just goes to show how thin the evidence is behind it. It’s another emotional claim that bears no resemblance to the facts, and it’s an attempt to loosen voting restrictions to the point that their useless, going-nowhere-in-life supporters can actually vote instead of just yelling at a computer screen through a cloud of bong smoke.

It may not be strictly democratic to say this, but if your life choices are so poor that you find it impossible to get a photo ID, then maybe it’s best that you don’t have a say in our elections.

  • Unproven facts have never stopped a Democrat but they have had to ignore a bunch to get what they want. This study will have to be ignored.

      Don’t U C how you’re being played, when the new study’s title, and the names of “academics” aren’t provided?

      Talk about “unproven.” It will have 2 B ignored, because no one knows where 2 find it.

      • Frank Gilbert

        They did give the names Jimmy. Maybe you should reread the article.

        • jimmy midnight

          Well, Frank, I feel like saying, “They did not, Jack.” The names given are those of the authors of the original study–the one that said ID requirement voter suppression does have the clearly intended effect of reducing minority turnout.

        • jimmy midnight

          Now I have looked it up. On them internets. Apparently, it does not exist.

            Somebody making $hit up to advance a cause….. You do mean the Dumb A$$ ok RATS, don’t you? Without LYING and CHEATING, they couldn’t be elected Dog catcher.

        • thereasonableman

          Frank, you need to reread the article: The names were of the authors of the allegedly flawed study. There were no names or citations listed for the critique supposedly quoted by shawn.

          • Frank Gilbert

            Okay. Now I’m admittedly confused. Wonder of that was part of the intent?

      • Try not to be a hypocrite Jimmy. How many Polls have you quoted as if they were facts?

        • jimmy midnight

          After another search, I was able to find the paper. What it says is essentially the polar opposite if how “shawn” characterizes, as it concludes that ID laws lead 2 a six or seven percent decline in minority turnout.

          When poll numbers are quoted, the question, in verbatim form, really should be part of the discussion. I don’t think I’ve ever quoted polls as paerts of my arguments ,

          • There is NO DOUBT in my mind that you found a paper online that contradicts what was said in the article and that article supports your position.

            Did you take the next step and question the sources and facts of the article that the article based its conclusions on? Or did you just say, that makes sense and agree with the conclusions of the article?

            So my BET is that the article you found relied on Polls or OTHER unsubstantiated and questionable data. Nowadays, all of them do, so we all rely on our common sense.

            So that brings us back to old Yuri and the ideological subversion. You are riding the backwards bicycle, so what makes sense to you will not make sense to me …

            I have some additional data that seems to support “Shawns” conclusions. Voter ID laws are not racist, but the arguments used against voter ID laws are.

            This video shows a bunch of leftists (Berkley) describing their justification for no voter ID laws, and Blacks (Harlem) calling them racists and bigoted for holding those beliefs.

            https://youtu.be/llDM-44Zb8w

            So the bottom line is that I believe our Government uses these differences to keep voter ID verification illegal. The reason is because that is how they insert massive voter fraud into the system.

            There may very well be people that have issues getting an ID, but the VAST MAJORITY of people do not have this problem. The ONLY people that benefit from not having to show your id to vote are the politicians that are slipping thousands of votes in the back door without Ids.

          • jimmy midnight

            The paper I read was the very one “shawn” was discussing. When academics do pieces for peer-reviewed journals, they write up the essentials of their work at hand in a couple,three paragraphs at the very top. It’s what’s called the abstract.

            It was what I read, and it said that, working from, the data they could find, a six or seven percent decrease in minority turnout, is a reasonable expectation when ID laws R implemented. Somewhere down in there, there must’ve been a disclaimer about their not making any PREdictions. The eternally deceptive “shawn” seized on that 2 make this review article something it really was not.

          • You have proven my point. You have to go with your guts.

            My guts say the reason, POLITICIANS don’t want voter id laws is because they want voter fraud. But they can’t hardly say that out loud because the PEOPLE don’t want politicians steeling elections. So they say minorities are getting hurt by voter id laws, and they sell it hard. Now that is a crisis you can get behind. One that serves their purpose well.

            I understand that besides being the ONLY industrialized country that forces people to die of diabetes, we are also the only industrialized nation that does not have voter ID laws…

            At least we could do is dip our fingers in ink… Follow Afghanistan’s example.

          • jimmy midnight

            The ink-dipping sounds like a good idea 4 the two or three seconds it takes 2 remember that such a thing would necessarily eliminate early voting. Mr. Mad, your suspicions in this regard R simply unfounded.

            Stop it. Seriously, some counseling might help you.

          • No my suspicions are not unfounded. It has happened in the past to unsuspecting electorates.

            Do you think our politicians are so pure of heart that they are not capable of something like this? Perhaps so pure that they would never lie to the American People???

          • thereasonableman

            “Shawn” was referring to academics from Penn etc as the authors of the critique of the study by the UCSD team. No one has yet to provide any link to the supposed critique. If anyone can provide the links to both the UCSD study or the critique, that would be appreciated. Then we can all compare and contrast the original UCSD study with the critique. Come on Shawn, help us here.

            Hope you’re not holding your breath in anticipation.

  • Liberals claim that Blacks can’t get id’s, so no voter id laws???

    Black people that think those liberals are outright racist.

      These people have no clue about ID’s most people already have them. Phony excuse to allow voters to vote several times and blacks in general disagree.

      Blacks can certainly get welfare, and to do so, I believe you have to have proof of your ID, you did in WA when I was in that situation.

    • thereasonableman

      That sounds a lot like something that ends up being a national ID card. Are you sure you want that?

      • Ed Shick

        It is handled by the states , but after working at the Polls for about 20 years , There is much more Voter Fraud , than they will admit to and yes people vote in different states ,Ohio has not up dated their Voting laws since 2005 , and they do not seem to care , In Ohio if you have a pay stub or utility bill from last year you can vote , They were trying to get 50 % of the people to vote by mail last year , No ID , I received 3 applications for a mail in Ballot , A drivers license can be from a Illegal , Where else can you go and not have to prove who you are ?

        • My country

          Ohio was the place were the poll worker was on tv bragging about voting 8 times . And it wasn’t just her . For weeks they showed Ohioans bragging about this . But Kasich wasn’t ever asked about this during his campaign .

          • kbmiller

            That’s because he won. He gives away too much $hit.

        • thereasonableman

          It’s still the route to a national ID card, which they sort of already have is you have a SSN or a driver’s license. Al your D/L data is linked through a national data base.

          • Ed Shick

            It is a states right on Voting , but We have people voting in Ohio that can vote early here and they have a home in Florida and then off for the winter and vote twice , so maybe it should be controlled on a national level, When I was in our Military we were from all States fighting for America . To bad we have not won since WW 2 ! Good by UN !

          • thereasonableman

            We haven;t had a war since WWII that was an existential threat. Also, we haven’t had a draft since the 1970’s, so there is not enough involvement by a large enough portion of the population (draft age young adults and their spouses and parents) to stop the politicians from sending the military on unnecessary expeditions that cost lives and billions of $ and do not result in any long term advantage to the US. Think Operation Iraqi Freedom, upset the neighborhood, led to rise of ISIL and no realistic end in sight. G Washington was right, standing armies and foreign entanglements are dangerous to a democracy, but for more reasons than he knew.
            As for people who vote in OH and FL, good luck on ever getting a national voter registration system, it won’t happen in your lifetime.

          • thomas zera

            You have photo ID and a SSN all linked to everything you buy with your credit card. So really having voter ID is not a greater threat to privacy or even an inconvenience.I don’t understand how as an adult American citizen You can’t have ID.

        • thereasonableman

          In Ohio “they” being a Republican AG and Secretary of State who runs the elections, so who do you blame if there is lax enforcement, if , in fact there was?

          • Ed Shick

            John Husted admitted to about 80 Voter fraud cases , But we are wide open with 30 days of voting and by mail no one Checks , Even at the Polls all you need in a Pay check Stub or a Utility Bill from last year , One day a man came in with a utility bill and said that was who he was , I told him that I had drank a lot of Coffee in his Kitchen, It was a man that I had worked with for 40 years , and I told him I was calling the Sheriff , he ran out of the school , but the presiding judge , gave me a Scolding as he sould have been allowed to get a ballot , Then We have a Lot of Somalians that can not read or write English and they took them in a Bus and helped them vote , I did not work the Polls in 2016 as health is gone , but at 88 most of my friends are dead , so I guess I will fight the Joints and keep Going !

    • hunter34

      the way I see photo ID should be required to vote since they are required in so many other things in our life to me if some of the minorities are too dumb to get a photo ID they are certainly too dumb to vote

  • Richard Daugherty

        WE know that , and that it’s ILLEGAL . But when has that Ever Stopped those LIBTURD DEM COMMIECRATS ???

      • Ed Shick

        Illegals should not vote and maybe we should have kept the legal age to vote at 21 , you have to mature a little after High School , I was in Korea and as a medic in 2 Battles , I was still not old enough to Vote , but now I vote every Election !

  • jdbixii

    Accountability is not about prejudice or racism. To discriminate on the basis of legal and illegal, for reasons of accountability, is a matter of justice and security. It is a logical limitation on the right of a person to do, not to be.
    What “due process of law” would exist without an exercise of jurisdiction?

  • thomas zera

    Voter warning! an election is coming! sometime in the future. It may be two too four years away. You now have years to take your time and get an ID.If you are an American citizen you will have no problem achieving this small task. Please don’t cry at the next election if you have disenfranchised yourself. It’s your problem no one else’s..

    The article provided the names of the authors of the allegedly flawed study but not the authors of the review of that study, nor the publication data. Can you please provide that so that interested readers can read both the original study and the review. Also it would be helpful to know who paid for the original study and the review.. Not even Ivy League academics, of any political view, work for free. Without this information we’re just taking “shawn’s” word for it, and we don’t know “shawn.”

    • dahniuru

      Good post! It takes time, but I always google two or three sources and try to find the info you id’ed. I get research by typing stuff such as ‘voting laws, Stanford author, racist research’…… I’ve had some easy hits this way, but wind up reading very detailed stuff. But I get more leads if I can find a copy of the original report and where published…

      Good luck and good thinking.

      • thereasonableman

        I found information about the authors of, but not the actual study: They are all based @ UCSD. No information found about the supposed critique. Waiting for “shawn” to lead us there.

  • David in MA

    Don’t stop them from getting their EBT Card, or Medicare Card, or any other benefit card. Must be the ones who object do not see any “benefits” in voting?

    • thereasonableman

      Who is “them?” Let’s see, Medicare card comes with age and a valid SSN, so that alone is proof of citizenship, Non-citizens get different sequence of # for SSN so easy enough to check.
      PS: Neither SS card nor Medicare card have photo. Easy way would be for DJT to require all to get photo SS card when they hit age 18…problem solved. But what ever solution you come up with it’s like using a cruise missile to kill a gnat: where are the arrests and prosecutions for voter fraud in the Red states? Election fraud is near non-existent, and there is no proof otherwise that would stand up in court. Statements like “everyone knows,” “millions voted illegally in CA,” or “busloads to New Hampshire” are simply not evidence of anything except alternative facts and paranoia..

      • David in MA

        The point is, “they” can do the things “they” want to do.
        And, I consider you irrational.

        • thereasonableman

          Why do you think I am irrational? Please base your answer on proven facts, not your opinion or ad hominem attacks.

  • Marvin Barry Cohen

    What is racist about proving who you are when you vote? I remember that when you turned voting age it as one of the passage to adulthood. Going into voters registration, proper ID or birth certificate and registering to vote. One party or another. Suddenly, proving that you are a real person of American citizenship is racist? Maybe, this will happen. Is it racist for a Marine Corps recruiter to demand ID from a prospective recruit looking to be only fourteen-years-old? It will be racist for a police officer to ask to ask a driver to show a lawful driver’s license. It will be racist for a bartender to see proper ID from a thirteen-year-old patron sitting there ordering a stiff-one. The reason Leftist Liberal Democrats hate an ID is it cuts into the illegal bussing of hundreds of unlawful voters from one polling place to others voting for the list on names they were supplied. When, everyone is required to prove who they are, voting crimes will be greatly reduced. Now, who has a problem reducing obvious voter fraud?

    • Ed Shick

      You are right , Voter Fraud must be stopped , Mail in ballots with no proof of who you are is sure to have Fraud ! , Obama got his start doing Voter fraud when he was working for Alice Palmer ,a Communist over him when he was an Acorn agent , She gave him a reward as he helped her get elected , Illinois State Senate , after studing Communism , he came home ran against Alice and he was on his way !

  • Ray C Carter

    You want to fly someplace, you need an ID. You want to buy beer or smokes, you need an ID. You want to get into a bar, you need an ID. So what to hell is wrong with needing one to vote, oh thats right its racist. What a bunch of idiots.

    • hunter34

      yourpostjust made me think of something , almost everyone buys some of the above how do they do it with out proper Id

  • AmericanBelle

    This is encouraging. Perhaps states should be changing their laws NOW before Democrats have a chance to block!

  • Barbara Harmon

    Okay, I do not know for sure the answer, but if you are getting assistance like food stamps, ADC, Welfare, etc., don’t you have to have proof of some kind. That may be a start cause most of the ones who claim to not be able to get the proof needed to vote don’t have the money, etc. But then, now listen up, do any of you who don’t think at all about anything important, letting illegal immigrants share in the handouts from our government, like food stamps, etc. probably have those cards or some kind of identification. Now, if they were NOT allowed to get those handouts, the solution would be so easy.
    But us so called “generous, loving Americans” are actually making things worse (I mean “liberals” cause that is how they see themselves. By allowing so many that have no rights that only citizens should have, we are now making it harder and harder for a legal American to get the benefits they have a right to get. This whole thing is screwed up and yet you people can’t see that you are the reason. Way back in the dark ages when I became of legal age, the first thing my parents saw to it that I got a Social Security Card – those were my means of ID — why are those not required of any American. The same when we get a DL – there should be something on those DL that would show if you were a citizen or not by requiring a SS number or a notification would be put on the DL.

    I said I am no longer sure about the answers because so much has been screwed up royally in order to HELP illegals so not sure what kind of id they get – but once we get rid of the illegals, we hopefully will be able to get something going that would eliminate all of the nonsense going on right now. Sheesh, I was born here and still have to show an ID – no matter what – when I go to vote. According to all the flap, is it possible those without a proper ID actually are still being allowed to vote. And as far as Ohio, what is the excuse for not updating the voting logs – I don’t get way too much of what is going on and what is not. But as a CONSERVATIVE, we need to change it and start with the illegals, period.

    • Nancy Fitzgerald

      @Barbara H really your comment is racist like only people of color or from other countries are on welfare that is ass backwards illegals don’t get welfare by the way the welfare office does not give out IDs get real I am sick of people like you that talk about welfare like is just a people of color or immigrant issue if you had any intelligence you would know that welfare is for all Americans in their time of need and there is just as many white people as any other and lets not forget all the corporate welfare and all the tax breaks to the rich while the middle class has to pay most of the taxes to pay for our government so back to voting ID laws the repub have consistently made it harder for people to vote when you are a low income earner and much older to pay for a special ID is crazy a regular DMV drivers license or just a DMV ID should be enough many people for many reasons either don’t have a birth certificate because they was born at home or lost it house fire stolen then when the Repubs deliberately change voting districts and close down locations and shut down the days needed and shut down the Sunday before voting day we all even white people know the underhanded racism and anyone is ignorant if they don’t see it right now the repubs are trying to go back to a more white country and you should know your history this is not our country for many of our ancestors came here illegally this land was stolen from the indigenous humans we all know what was done to them and as a white woman I am sick of all the phony bull shit that comes out of so call Americans trap.

  • Pamela Sue Therrien

    There is literally nothing you can do nor service available to anyone without a valid photo ID, nothing. From cashing a check, to getting welfare. You must have ID. Having lived in very poor communities even those who did not drive, as I do not and those so poor ID was was given free by the state friends took them to get what they needed or community service workers even in our small rural town of 1200 people, so this is all bunk to begin with.

  • Bishop351

    If ID is needed for other “entitlements”, why would it not be required to elect representation? The whole argument re restriction of minorities amounts to either laziness or fraud. Get an ID and vote. This isn’t proverbial rocket science.

  • Tom Buyea — Fla.News service

    I have always up to now been a Strong Advocate to Requiring Voters to have a photo ID and I even work at election precincts on election days for the last ten years, But recently I checked on getting a Florida State Picture ID for as friend who needed one and I found out the State charges $25.00 for one !! The last I remember ten or more years ago it was only $3.00 ! So I am sure requiring paying $25.00 for an ID would keep a lot of poor people from having a Photo ID and from Voting ?? !! So it seems something like making voters with no picture ID leave their finger prints and then have all those finger prints run through the FBI etc computers to see if they match up with their names ?

  • My country

  • Obie Miller

    All voter ID laws actually do is prove (or certify) that the person who is casting a vote is eligible to do so! This has absolutely NOTHING to do with the race of the participant! It is really very simple…..if a person can not prove they are LEGALLY ELIGIBLE, they are not allowed to vote!

  • Deplorable Lanie

    Liberals just want to find a way to continue their fraudulent voting practices. If we have to show ID then there goes voting for the dead, or your neighbor or any other type of scheme. Why is it that India requires voter id, Mexico requires voter id, Spain, France, Malta, you get the point. So why is that we do not require ID? Because the DemocRATs have convinced people that it is racist, which to a thinking person is insane!

  • Robert Wayne

    Anybody with any sense at all knows the left is just playing another race card game with this b.s. about voter I.D. being “RAYYYYYYYYCIST”. It’s just another trick they use to cheat so that they can get multiple votes from one voter.

  • kbmiller

    Isn’t it RACIST to assume that negroes or Hispanics aren’t bright enough to obtain a valid ID?

  • Gary Von Neida

    Only Those involved in FRAUD VOTING are against voters identifying Themselves—it does not take a genius to see-Anyone involved in FRAUD VOTING needs to be fined and spend time in prison. Any non-citizen that have voted should be denied citizenship.

  • A. Jay

    The laws must be racist, Killary and Al sharpless said they are!!

  • The Capatin

    I wonder what their first clue was? Oh, right, (it didn’t fit their narrative).

    Idiots.

  • dude

    The easiest way to control Voter Fraud would be to issue every taxpaying legal resident Social Security cards with the person’s picture and date of birth on them. Do not show the Social Security number on them but replace the number with a computer bar code that can be scanned and updated by the IRS. When a person votes we need only to scan the card to validate the person’s right to vote. If all persons require to get a Social Security card to work then why not to vote? Absentee Voter Ballots can have this ballot showing this bar code on them when they vote by mail. The bar code and information about the person can be protected by the IRS. Should a card be scanned and found to be invalid, the voter can be detained until his or her information is updated. If the person is found not to be a legal voter they can be arrested.

      Huge fed bureaucracy to implement, every county in the country would need the tech to do it. SS offices do SSN’s etc, Not IRS. I don’t see the mostly little old ladies @ the polling place detaining anyone
      remember, voting is regulated by the states, not fed, do you really want fed taking over? what happens when the party you don’t like is in control- what if the gov’t makes mistake w/ your SSN or it get hacked- in the words of G orwell u become an “unperson” think about it

  • RsGoat

    Duh! What could be wrong with securing the vote any way? the only way for each vote to count is if each person votes only one time. Other wise counting them makes little sense, it would only show which side cheated better. In our world today we are all aware of how much we need to prove we are who we say we are either as the operators of vehicles, insured person, card holder, of age, ticket holder, person who is suppose to pick up some item and some of us for benefits whether unemployment, food stamps or any of the multiple other benefit programs or government has out there even educational opportunities.
    As anyone with a thinking mind can see the proof should already be there when it comes time to vote and suggesting that this is a racial situation is beyond ridiculous. There are times when educated people who come up with this stuff should just turn their diploma’s over on the wall so they just don’t embarrass the educational institutions they came from.

  • Glenda Hammer

    Legal voters having I D, never was racist or discriminatory.
    Obama proved that Dirty Democrats will go to any lengths to cheat, when he told illegals it was their duty to vote for Hillary, to keep them and their families from being deported.

    Absolutely Disgusting what warped lying Democrats will stoop to, to win.

  • Tom Buyea — Fla.News service

    This ID thing is like the old employment application laws, At first around 1960 and before many employment applications had a space to put your Race, Then it was made illegal to have that blank on an employment application, Then a few years later it was required to have that blank on an employment application so they could be checked by the government to make sure you were hiring enough people in minority categories !

    Regardless of this study or any other “study.” When a study is done to prove a predetermined point it always has the desired result. Even if it were reported it would not be believed and declared false news. That is just one of the purposes of false news (propaganda). It makes all news suspect. Which news is false and which is authentic depends on personal prospective and/or ability and willingness to throughly research.

    The progressive communistic so called democrats have used voter ID laws to cover voter fraud. Possibly for decades. They have also used illegal aliens to stack the representatives in the house. Representation is based on bodies not necessarily on citizens (the likely objective of the sanctuary cities and states). This is as obvious as the nose on a face. Especially in precincts where 153% of registered voters vote. An old communist trick keep repeating a lie over and over and it will soon be believed. Because they also claim voter fraud does not exist anywhere, even when we know it does, (it has been proven and convictions have happened) they claim it is not necessary to require voter ID and it could cause voter intimidation among minorities. Complete and utter nonsense. Obviously an excuse for their objective of voter fraud and not a reason. In LA county California, alone as many as two million or even more illegal aliens may have voted in the last election. Same with previous elections.

    It is all a move to take over this government. Make no mistake about that. President Trump came along and ruined everything, for them, at least for the time being. So these communists disguised as progressives and elites are ticked off and using any and all tricks they know to get rid of President Trump.

    The final result in the last election however, there were not “enough” of the illegal aliens voting (in California and New York City) to overcome the (now) President Trump popularity so hillary lost. If we listen closely we can still hear the whining or crying.

    Sooner or later there was bound to be someone come along that could overcome, with popularity, the fraudulent votes. Donald Trump was and is that person and that is exactly why they must use every tactic in the democrats play book , including the MSM, to make him look bad. If they do not succeed President Trump could be reelected in 2020. If that happens it becomes possible Pence could win in 24. If he should happen to serve two terms the communists may leave the democratic party. But don’t count on them giving up. I suspect they will just try harder next time.

    Remember the US Senator from Wisconsin Joseph McCarthy he exposed many of them in congress and in Hollywood once. So much they went underground? They came back out of hiding as progressives a decade or so ago. Perhaps next time they will attempt a takeover of the republican party. We all know some are already there.

    Since barack obama was elected the progressive communistic so called democrats have lost over a thousand (1000) political seats nation wide. That alone states volumes for their actions does it not? It certainly it is a road map as to the direction those same progressive communistic so called democrats wish to take this once great nation. There is a reason for their loses it is called communism. They may call themselves progressives but more and more people are waking up and realizing America must not go in the direction they are attempting to push America.

    I feel confident now the obama promised fundamental transformation has completely failed and will not happen hopefully ever here in America. Make no mistake though they will try again because they came close this time. Electing hillary could have caused our demise and the slow trickling away of our liberties and constitution was bound to happen.

    However, their fight continues. Consequently, we must remain on constant alert. Freedom is never free. It has been, in the past, the most costly of humans endeavors. But it is also most desirable.
