Polls Show 75% Favor Requiring Photo ID To Vote

The Department of Justice on Tuesday said the state of Georgia's system cannot check driver’s license information and Social Security numbers to prove that prospective voters are U.S. citizens.

Georgia’s voters have an entirely different perspective. Rasmussen Reports polling conducted during Election 2008 found that 77% said prospective voters should first be required to show a legal photo ID first.

Georgia’s voters also held that view two years earlier despite a state judge’s ruling that a new law requiring a photo ID at the polls was a violation of the state constitution.

Nationally, three-out-of-four U.S. voters (76%) said a person should be required to show photo identification at the polls before being allowed to vote. - Politico Story

What I don't understand is that if such a strong majority favor this why it isn't law? What are lawmakers so afraid of? Don't feed me the line of crap that it is against the constitution either. They do so many things that don't follow the constitution to try and sell me that load.
