Proponents argue that these laws increase electoral integrity, while opponents claim they disproportionately disenfranchise certain groups of voters, particularly minorities and low-income individuals.

Below is a table indicating voter turnout percentages for states with strict voter ID laws compared to states without such laws during the 2020 presidential election:
