Contact Info: [email protected] Sunny Hostin, co-host of The View, has repeated a now-familiar claim in political commentary: that voter ID laws disproportionately hurt Black Americans and other minorities. The narrative suggests that while no one is saying Black people literally can’t get an ID, “systemic barriers”—like access to DMVs, income inequality, or historical disenfranchisement—make it harder for marginalized groups to obtain valid identification.

But here’s where critics say Sonny is out of order.

Opponents argue that this talking point is outdated, misleading, and patronizing. They point out that ID is required for everyday life—flying, driving, buying alcohol, applying for jobs, even getting into federal buildings. So why would voting be the exception?

Critics also argue:

The majority of Black Americans already have IDs—polls show overwhelming support for voter ID laws, even within minority communities.

Framing voter ID as racist implies Black people are less capable—a deeply condescending argument masked as advocacy.

This narrative fuels political division, not empowerment—and may even suppress turnout by sowing distrust in the system.

The deeper question is: Are voter ID laws protecting election integrity, or are they being weaponized as political fearmongering? Is this about helping marginalized communities—or controlling the narrative to maintain power?

Let’s not settle for soft takes or surface-level spin. Who’s really telling the truth—and who’s out of order?
