The share of Republicans who say "everything possible" should be done to make voting easy has declined since 2018, according to a Pew survey published this week, Axios reported.
The survey showed 59% of US adults say everything possible should be done to make it easy for every citizen to vote, while 39% say citizens should have to prove they want to vote by registering ahead of time, with 85% of Democrats and Democratic-leaning Independents say everything possible should be done to make it easy for every citizen to vote, while 14% say citizens should have to prove they really want to vote by registering ahead of time.
WordsOnly 28% of Republicans and Republican-leaning Independents say everything possible should be done to make it easy for all citizens to vote, while 71% say American citizens should prove that they really want to vote by registering ahead of time.
"While 84% of Black adults and 69% of Hispanic adults say everything possible should be done to make it easy to vote, only about half of white adults say the same," Pew wrote.
It added that 61% of U.S. adults say it would not make elections less secure if election rules were changed to make it easier to register and vote, with 82% of Democrats and Democratic-leaning Independents say the same.
Only 37% of Republicans and Republican-leaning Independents say the same. Before the 2018 mid-term elections, 48% of Republicans said everything possible should be done to make it easy to vote, while 51% said citizens should have to prove that they really want to vote by registering ahead of time.
