Georgia has the same law now, just signed by Sonny Purdue. The black legislators went into crazed behavior in fighting the legislation. They even walked out of a session in unison because they called the law "racist". Purdue signed it anyway.
The Atlanta Journal Constitution/Gallup did a poll about it and lo and behold 80% of Georgians support showing id to vote.

It looks like this has a pretty good chance of being signed into law in a couple of months. I hope the trend takes off around the country, although that's a matter of which party controls the state legislatures.
In some states where the Democrats control things, like California, citizens can still put propositions on the ballot to bypass the legislature.

Requiring someone to show proof of identity is racist. Damn, 7-11's all over the country will have to change their ways.

They obviously didn't poll the deceased.
