SEATTLE - American's opinions on no-excuse absentee voting has changed drastically since the last presidential election, according to a new survey conducted by the Pew Research Center. And among all the different demographics polled, Latinos are the least likely to approve of voting through mail-in ballots without needing a valid reason than any other race or ethnicity.
The survey found out that, overall, six-in-ten Americans say any U.S. voter should have the option to vote early or absentee without having to document a reason. However, the views predictably differ depending on people's political affiliation, race, ethnicity and other factors. Latino respondents (56%) were less likely than Black (74%), White (59%) and Asian (59%) ones to say any voter should have the option to vote early or absentee without an excuse.
