The anti-law enforcement bias prevalent in the way Univision covers the news isn’t limited to bias against enforcement of U.S. immigration law. It also extends to include bias against voter ID laws across the country - laws that are designed to protect against voter fraud and safeguard the integrity of the American electoral process.

This bias was once again evident in the network’s latest coverage of a new National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO) report, titled Latino Voters at Risk, that bellyaches about such “discriminatory” election law provisions as voter ID, proof of citizenship, registration application processing and list maintenance (no, we’re not kidding), felon disenfranchisement and insufficient language assistance.

Both Univision anchor Jorge Ramos and correspondent Luis Megid were quick to signal to their viewers that they side with NALEO’s position against voter ID laws.

LUIS MEGID, CORRESPONDENT, UNIVISION: More than 13 million Hispanics will vote in November. But millions more will stay at home, in large part due to obstacles designed precisely for them not to vote in this election. ARTURO VARGAS, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, NALEO: The problems that we have are that there are states that limit access to voting.

Megid not only downplayed the case voter ID proponents make about assuring the purity and integrity of this fundamental exercise of citizens in a democracy (only 14 seconds of the two-minute and 17 second report were dedicated to the pro-voter ID side), but also failed to acknowledge that such laws are actually normal and routine throughout the world, including in many of the places of origin of Univision’s viewers and their families.

Already during 2016, there have been disturbing signs of voter fraud, most prominently on the Democratic side, that have consistently been working to Hillary Clinton’s advantage.

If these shenanigans are going on during the primary season, can you imagine what we may be in store for in the run-up to Election Day on November 8th?

Upholding the integrity of the electoral process is something all decent, sensible citizens should be able to agree on and share common concern and vigilance for, as an absolutely essential element of a functional democratic, constitutional republic such as ours. In fact, this was just the way of thinking of former Democratic President Jimmy Carter and former Republican Secretary of State James Baker in a joint report, released just over a decade ago, titled Building Confidence in U.S. Elections, in which they declared:

The electoral system cannot inspire public confidence if no safeguards exist to deter or detect fraud or to confirm the identity of voters. Photo IDs currently are needed to board a plane, enter federal buildings, and cash a check. Voting is equally important.

If Ramos and Megid wish to correct course and engage in honest journalism, they would do well to be more respectful and inclusive of such views, embraced by most Americans, instead of rushing to parrot and support the highly suspect recent attacks against voter ID laws.
