In United States (US), the voter ID laws of New York are getting restrictive as
previously, state Senate, the upper chamber of the US Congress was controlled by
Republican that kept passing voting reforms where Democrats waited for a push from long
time in terms of voting reforms where they thought of controlling the movement from fast to
boosting the national standing for voting accessibility. New York took time for transforming
to become a national leader in terms of voting access where state Legislature passed the bills
for making easy voting state-wide. The development of transforming restrictive voting laws

include high cost of individuals to obtain even if there is free identification, it also reduces
the voter turnout, minorities are impacted disproportionally, and there are exceptionally rare
in-person fraud cases at the ballot box (Williams C. , 2016).
In the US, people think that voter fraud is a major problem where Republicans agreed
at 52 per cent than compared to Democrats with 26 per cent (Samuelson, 2016). Media
impact massively in terms of influencing opinion of public relating to voter ID laws where
people go for receiving and gathering information for political candidates (Gronke, Hicks,
