New Study Links Support for Voter ID Laws to Racial Resentment
Despite its conclusion, the study was not produced by Duh University and at least one surprising tidbit it uncovered shows it.
New research from the University of Delaware’s Center for Political Communication found that people with high “racial resentment” scores, along with those who consider themselves Republicans and conservatives, are most likely to be concerned about the largely imaginary issue of vote fraud.
Intense vote fraud investigations in Iowa have produced a confused elderly man who voted twice, a college student whose parents are divorcing who didn’t get the postcard, and a lady who lives at the address on her voter ID but gets mail elsewhere
To gauge their depth of racial resentment, non African-American survey respondents were asked how strongly they agreed with these statements:
- I resent any special considerations that Africans Americans receive because it’s unfair to other Americans.
- Special considerations for African Americans place me at an unfair disadvantage because I have done nothing to harm them.
- African Americans bring up race only when they need to make an excuse for their failure.
Not all liberals and Democrats came up clean in the survey.
