“Separating Fact from Fiction on Voter ID Statistics”

Brennan Center responds to @Nate_Cohn:

In “Why Voter ID Laws Don’t Swing Many Elections,” Nate Cohn understates the impact of restrictive voting laws. Yes, it is likely rare for an election to be close enough for voter ID laws to swing the outcome. But Americans should indeed be concerned about laws that shut out thousands of eligible voters.

Cohn says “figures overstate the number of voters who truly lack identification.” But the evidence underlying these figures is quite strong and detailed.
