“An Honest Elections Project Action poll found 76 percent of likely Ohio voters surveyed would vote for a constitutional amendment requiring voters to show photo ID.”
Attributed to Honest Elections Project Action (reported by The Federalist)
The Federalist cites an Honest Elections Project Action poll of 800 respondents (May 27–June 2, MOE ±3.46%) reporting that 76% of likely Ohio voters would vote for a constitutional amendment requiring photo ID.
What the proof shows
The Federalist accurately reported the central factual claim: Honest Elections Project Action’s polling memo (May 27–June 2, 2026) states that 76% of 800 ‘likely voters’ in Ohio said they would vote for a constitutional amendment requiring a photo ID for in-person voting. The HEP Action memo includes the 76% figure and lists the sample size, dates, and mixed-mode methodology (400 phone / 400 online) and notes respondents were drawn from a purchased sample and opt‑in panel. That confirms the poll and the figure cited. Important context: the poll was sponsored by a partisan advocacy group (Honest Elections Project Action) and used a mixed-mode design that included opt‑in online panel participants; reporting and polling standards warn that non‑probability/opt‑in components and sponsor bias can affect reliability and interpretation. Independent national polls (e.g., CBS News/YouGov) show broad public support for photo ID requirements, which corroborates the direction of HEP’s finding, but the HEP memo does not publish full question wording or a full topline here, which is relevant when assessing how question phrasing may influence results.
