Voter suppression is rooted in fear of changing demographics, says pollster
Pollster Dalia Mogahed said in an interview on "What America's Thinking" that aired Thursday that voter suppression tactics are rooted in a fear of changing demographics in the U.S.
"A lot of this is about a fear of a changing America," Mogahed, director of research at the Institute of Social Policy and Understanding (ISPU), told Hill.TV's Jamal Simmons on Wednesday.
"Demographic changes in America have really invigorated some pockets of our country, and I think the Trump win is a symptom of that, and voter suppression is another symptom of that," she continued.
A new American Barometer poll, conducted by Hill.TV and the HarrisX polling company found that Americans were split over whether voter suppression or voter fraud was a bigger issue.
Fifty-one percent of respondents said voter suppression was a bigger issue, while 49 percent said the same about voter fraud.
