GET THIS PASSED. 🇺🇸 https://t.co/dmspdikXqB ## Post analysis Verdict: 70% · Model: Kimi K2.6 · Checked on: 18/05/2026 The tweet accurately reports topline figures from a Pew Research Center survey conducted in August 2025, which found broad majorities across racial and ethnic groups support requiring photo ID to vote: 85% of white Americans, 82% of Latino Americans, and 76% of Black Americans[^1][^2][^3]. The video transcript’s statement that photo ID is not controversial by race is also generally supported by that data[^1]. However, the post’s central framing is misleading. The tweet claims this polling shows Americans want “nationwide voter ID — in other words, the SAVE America Act.” The Pew poll asked only about a generic photo ID requirement at the polls; it did not ask about the specific provisions of the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which includes additional requirements such as documentary proof of citizenship to register and mandates for states to remove noncitizens from voter rolls[^4]. By equating general support for voter ID with support for this specific bill, the post misrepresents what the poll actually measured[^4]. **Overall validity**: 70% [^1]: [Poll data indicates that the majority of Americans across racial groups support voter ID requirements, with 85% of White Americans, 82% of Latino Americans, and 76% of Black Americans favoring photo ID to vote.](#caZy4VY2BoHsEqI5Pyus) [^2]: [According to a poll cited in a tweet, 85% of white voters support voter ID laws.](#1MZ2Eo7rdoJGXKD07hJr) [^3]: [A poll referenced in a video attached to a tweet by @\_Qstormrider states that 82% of Latino voters favor requiring photo identification to vote.](#kkk0OBM3Ld1qIbFUYgWX) [^4]: [According to a poll cited in a video shared on Twitter, 76% of Black Americans support nationwide voter ID requirements under the proposed SAVE America Act, compared to 85% of white Americans and 82% of Latino Americans.](#U7t1aDqXsm47NXUTNxgP) ## Claims found (4) ### 1. According to a poll cited in a video shared on Twitter, 76% of Black Americans support nationwide voter ID requirements under the proposed SAVE America Act, compared to 85% of white Americans and 82% of Latino Americans. — 70% Model: Kimi K2.6 · Checked on: 18/05/2026 · Detail: /claim/U7t1aDqXsm47NXUTNxgP Here is my analysis of the claim: - A **Pew Research Center survey** from August 2025 found that clear majorities across racial and ethnic groups favor requiring photo ID to vote, with overall support at 83%[^1][^2]. - The **specific percentages** cited in the claim (76% Black Americans, 85% white Americans, 82% Latino Americans) **match reporting** from the Pew Research Center survey as cited by The Washington Times and a social media post from Congressman Derrick Van Orden[^3][^4]. - However, the **poll was about general voter ID requirements**, not specifically about the **SAVE America Act** (also known as the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act or SAVE Act)[^5][^3]. The poll asked about support for "a photo ID requirement at the polls" generally, not about the specific legislation[^3]. - The **SAVE America Act** includes additional provisions beyond photo ID, such as requiring documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote and mandating states remove noncitizens from voter rolls[^5][^6]. The Pew poll did not ask about these specific provisions. - The **claim conflates general support for voter ID** with **support for the SAVE America Act specifically**, which is misleading because the poll did not measure support for that particular bill[^3][^7]. - The actual legislation is formally titled the "Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act" or "SAVE America Act," so the bill name in the claim is accurate[^5]. **Overall validity**: 70% ✅ 82% of Latino Americans support voter ID ✅ 76% of Black Americans support voter ID Pass the SAVE Act. | Congressman Derrick Van Orden\](https://www.facebook.com/RepVanOrden/posts/-85-of-white-americans-support-voter-id-82-of-latino-americans-support-voter-id-/922471834073576/) [^1]: [Most Americans Back Expanded Early Voting, Voting by Mail, Voter ID | Pew Research Center](https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2025/08/22/majority-of-americans-continue-to-back-expanded-early-voting-voting-by-mail-voter-id/) [^2]: [\[PDF\] BY Steven Shepard, Joseph Copeland, Shanay Gracia and Jocelyn ...](https://www.pewresearch.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/20/2025/08/PP_2025.8.22_voting-policy_report.pdf) [^3]: [Democratic lawmakers unfazed by Black and Hispanic support for voter ID laws](https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2026/feb/8/democratic-lawmakers-unfazed-black-hispanic-support-voter-id-laws/) [^4]: \[12K views · 374 reactions | ✅ 85% of white Americans support voter ID [^5]: [H.R.7296 - 119th Congress (2025-2026): SAVE America Act](https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/7296) [^6]: [The SAVE Act: What every American Voter Needs to Know - Vote.org](https://www.vote.org/save-act/) [^7]: [CHEAT SHEET: Race & Gender In Trump’s ‘Voter ID’ Bill](https://vanjones.substack.com/p/cheat-sheet-race-and-gender-in-trumps) ### 2.

A poll referenced in a video attached to a tweet by @_Qstormrider states that 82% of Latino voters favor requiring photo identification to vote. — 85% Model: Kimi K2.6 · Checked on: 18/05/2026 · Detail: /claim/kkk0OBM3Ld1qIbFUYgWX Based on my research, here is my analysis of the claim: - A Pew Research Center survey conducted August 4-10, 2025 found that 83% of all U.S. adults favor requiring government-issued photo identification to vote, with strong majorities across all racial and ethnic groups[^1]. - The Washington Times reported in February 2026 that this Pew Research Center survey found "82% of Hispanic voters and 76% of Black voters support a photo ID requirement at the polls"[^2]. - Congressman Derrick Van Orden also referenced the same statistic in a February 2025 Facebook video, stating "82% of Latino Americans support voter ID"[^3]. - This represents a significant increase from a 2012 Pew Hispanic survey, which found 71% of Hispanic registered voters supported photo ID requirements[^4]. - While I could not independently locate the specific tweet from @\_Qstormrider, the underlying poll statistic (82% of Latino/Hispanic voters favoring photo ID requirements) is accurately attributed to a Pew Research Center survey and has been widely cited by multiple sources[^3][^2]. - The claim about what the poll states is therefore accurate, though I cannot verify the specific video or tweet referenced. **Overall validity**: 85% [^1]: [\[PDF\] BY Steven Shepard, Joseph Copeland, Shanay Gracia and Jocelyn ...](https://www.pewresearch.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/20/2025/08/PP_2025.8.22_voting-policy_report.pdf) [^2]: [Democrats unfazed by voter-ID support - Washington Times](https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2026/feb/8/democratic-lawmakers-unfazed-black-hispanic-support-voter-id-laws/) [^3]: [85% of white Americans support voter ID 82% of Latino Americans ...](https://www.facebook.com/RepVanOrden/posts/-85-of-white-americans-support-voter-id-82-of-latino-americans-support-voter-id-/922471834073576/) [^4]: [III.

This is a minor distinction, but the claim's use of "white voters" rather than "white Americans" slightly mischaracterizes the poll's scope[^5][^6]. - **The broader Pew findings are well-documented**: 83% of all U.S. adults support photo ID requirements, including 95% of Republicans and 71% of Democrats[^6][^7]. - **Other polls align closely**: Gallup (October 2024) found 84% support for photo ID, and Rasmussen (January 2025) found 77% of likely voters agreed it's a reasonable measure[^8]. ###### Important Context: - This Pew poll is from **August 2025** and relates to support for the SAVE America Act and general voter ID requirements[^6][^5]. - While the specific percentages by race/ethnicity aren't directly visible in the publicly available excerpts from the Pew report, they are consistently reported by multiple news outlets citing the same poll[^3][^2][^4]. - The claim references a "tweet" — the numbers have indeed been widely circulated on social media by Congressman Derrick Van Orden, America PAC, and others[^4][^1]. **Overall validity**: 92% [^1]: [85% of white Americans support voter ID 82% of Latino Americans ...](https://www.facebook.com/RepVanOrden/posts/-85-of-white-americans-support-voter-id-82-of-latino-americans-support-voter-id-/922471834073576/) [^2]: [Democrats unfazed by voter-ID support - Washington Times](https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2026/feb/8/democratic-lawmakers-unfazed-black-hispanic-support-voter-id-laws/) [^3]: [CNN-Pew Poll Shows 76% of Black Americans Supporting Nationwide Voter ID in the SAVE Act - Gateway Hispanic](https://gatewayhispanic.com/2026/02/cnn-pew-poll-shows-76-black-americans-supporting) [^4]: [Majority of Americans Support Voter ID.
