| Kevin Drum found a study from the Washington Institute on Ethnicity and Race pondering whether an Indiana law requiring picture ID to vote would unfairly impact any particular group of voters.
Surprise! It does!
By a substantial margin, the Indiana residents most likely to possess photo ID turn out to be whites, the middle aged, and high-income voters. And while this is undoubtedly just a wild coincidence, these are also the three groups most like to vote for Republicans. (2006 exit poll data here for the suspicious.) Overall, 91% of registered Republicans had photo IDs compared to only 83% of registered Democrats.
Blacks are the group least likely to have valid photo IDs.
Kevin Drum:
But like I said, this is probably just a coincidence. I'm sure Karl Rove and the RNC had no idea that the demographics broke down like this. Right? |
