Political Science’s Justin Buchler shares thoughts on voting ID requirements in Ohio

Crain’s Cleveland BusinessJustin Buchler, associate professor of political science, said he’s not convinced that voting ID requirements will continue to make a big impact on results. “States have adopted voter ID laws in response to claims of election fraud, and we’ve heard apocalyptic stories from Democrats about the new ID law as well,” he said. “It looks like the entire issue is a nothingburger in response to a nothingburger, because there was never any evidence of voter fraud.”
