How voter suppression is becoming a 'major problem' for voters

Voter suppression is a major problem for 61% Democrats; 34% Independents; 25% Republicans. The panel discusses the percentages of people believing in "voter suppression" and "voter fraud".

Polling conducted by Dr. Mark Jones for the University of Houston/Hobby School found a whopping 50% of Texans believe voter fraud is a "major problem" in the United States.

And there's more, the same survey found more than a third of Texas "likely voters" - 37 percent - believe "voter suppression" is a major problem here and across the nation.

Panel - I’ll give you my reaction in the form of a question, "If potential voters don't trust the integrity and fairness of the process, is it any wonder why many choose not to participate?"
