    Voter ID laws are supported by the vast supermajority of
    Americans

    Pennsylvania Lieutenant Governor John Fetterman, a Democrat,
    opposes voter identification laws because poor people and
    "people of color" are "less likely to have their ID at any one
    given time."

    Despite their prevalence worldwide, Fetterman, who is running
    for the open Keystone State Senate seat against Republican Dr.
    Mehmet Oz, has been an outspoken opponent of voter ID laws in
    America.

    Falling in line with the progressive orthodoxy, Fetterman has
    decried voter ID laws as "insidious and unnecessary" during his
    tenure as the Keystone State’s lieutenant governor.

    In fact, Fetterman went as far as to claim the laws — which are
    the standard in most countries worldwide — suppressed the vote
    and said he was "horrified" by Republicans’ push for the
    measures in Pennsylvania and nationwide.

    Fetterman also said that poorer Americans and "people of color"
    are less likely to have their ID on them at any given moment,
    such as when voting for an elected official.

    "In my own state, they are going to pass, attempt to pass a
    constitutional amendment making sure that universal voting ID
    for every time you vote, not just when you sign up to vote, but
    every time you vote," Fetterman said in December 2021.

    "Because they understand that at any given time, there’s tens of
    thousands of Pennsylvanians who typically are on the poorer side
    and are people of color that are less likely to have their ID at
    any one given time," the Democrat nominee continued.

    According to a 2015 study by Project Vote, 87 percent of Black
    voters reported having a government ID while 13 percent said
    they did not.

    Ninety percent of Hispanic voters reported having government IDs
    while 10 percent did not. Ninety-five percent of White American
    voters reported having government IDs while five percent did not.

    Voter ID laws are popular among a vast supermajority of
    Americans, as well as the supermajority of Black voters and non-
    White voters.

    The measures are used in 46 out of 47 European nations sans the
    United Kingdom, though former Prime Minster Boris Johnson
    supported them, according to a 2021 Crime Prevention Research
    Center study.

    Other national Democrats have been outspoken against voter ID,
    such as Vice President Kamala Harris, who claimed rural
    Americans had difficulty photocopying their IDs to vote.

    Georgia Democrat gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams flipped
    on the subject of voter ID laws last year and Peach State
    Senator Raphael Warnock joined her.

    Voter ID became a subject of an intense national debate that
    Democrats ended up losing out on as they attempted to jam
    through a voting rights overhaul through Congress.

    The change in tone coming from the Democrats could be due to the
    American public’s positive sentiment toward the policies the
    blue party decried as "racist."

    Fetterman’s campaign did not respond to Fox News Digital’s
    request for comment.
