Some Surprising Numbers on the Public's Reaction to Voter ID Laws

(Fox News) - A majority of whites, blacks and other ethnic and racial minorities support laws that require photographic identification before voting.

A new survey indicates 67 percent approval overall for voter ID laws. Sixty-nine percent of whites support them — along with 58-percent of blacks — and 66-percent of other ethnic and racial minorities. Seventy-six percent of Republicans are in favor — and 63-percent of Democrats and Independents.

The Supreme Court is considering a challenge to Indiana's voter ID law — and that ruling will likely influence the laws on the books or being considered in other states.
