CNN’s Senior Data Reporter, Harry Enten, shared that Americans are overwhelmingly in support of requiring voter ID.

During his discussion, Enten referenced an X post Nicki Minaj posted on Sunday which stated, ” What sensible forward thinking cutting edge leading nation is having a DEBATE on whether or not there should be VOTER ID?!?!!!!

“Like?!?!? They’re actually fighting NOT to have ppl present ID while voting for your leaders!!!!! Do you get it?!?!!!! Do you get it now?!?!!!”

Enten shared that, despite what Democrats keep saying, 83% of Americans are in favor of it.

John Berman: So voter ID, just so people understand, is the idea that someone shows a photo ID when they go to vote, when they go to cast their actual ballot, because there’s a separate discussion right now about needing a passport or a birth certificate to register to vote. But the polling is all on voter ID showing an ID to vote.

Harry Enten: Showing a photo ID to vote. And the American people are with Nicki Minaj because what are we talking about here? So take a look here. Favor Voter ID to vote. Look, I got all this polling on the screen going back since 2018. You’ll notice on all of it, it’s all north of 75%, 76%, 76%, 76%, 81%, and then 83% in the last year of Americans agree with Nicki Minaj. They favor photo ID to be able to vote.

John Berman: What about by party?

Harry Enten:  Yeah, normally you might expect, Hey, there’d be a big divide by party with Republicans really for it and Democrats really against it, but not really here.

I mean, just take a look here. Favor photo ID to vote. You got 95% of Republicans, pretty much all of them, but even 71% of Democrats favor photo ID to vote.

So again, Nicki Minaj posting that on X.And what you see is that the American people, actually, it’s not really all that controversial. The American people are with Nicki Minaj, whether they are Republican or even if they are Democrats, we’re talking about seven in 10 Democrats agreeing with Nicki Minaj that you, in fact, should show a voter photo ID to vote.

John Berman: What’s the racial breakdown?

Harry Enten: Okay, what’s the racial breakdown on this? Because I think a lot of people make the argument that people of non-white Americans have a harder time procuring a photo ID to vote.

But even here, take a look here. Favor photo ID to vote. 85% of White people favor it, 82% of Latino, 76% of Black Americans favor it. So the bottom line is this. Voter ID is not controversial in this country.

A photo ID to vote is not controversial in this country.

It is not controversial by party, and it is not controversial by race. The vast majority of Americans agree with Nicki Minaj that, in fact, you should have a photo ID to be able to vote.

John Berman: So something of a non-troversy, in other words.

Harry Enten: Very good. The alliteration of Mr. John Berman, that Harvard education paying off once again.
