The author highlights that polling data shows high public support (around 75-83%) across party lines and races for voter ID, suggesting it is not a controversial issue among Americans. The article criticizes Democrats for allegedly hypocritically opposing voter ID laws in elections while implementing strict ID requirements for visiting the library, implying a patronizing attitude toward minorities and suggesting that opposition to voter ID is driven by elites seeking to enable electoral fraud. the piece argues that voter ID is widely accepted in the U.S., contradicting claims of systemic racism or controversy surrounding it.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Well, well, well.<\/p>\n<p>After making opposition to voter ID requirements a plank of the Democratic Party platform, the Obama Presidential Library must be evil racists, massive hypocrites, or maybe even both.<\/p>\n<p>The building, which honors the 44th president, opened last Friday in Chicago, Illinois.
