A new survey conducted by a mainstream polling firm found that the overwhelming majority of Americans want key new tools to protect the integrity of U.S. elections, including measures championed for decades by Republicans.

The new poll from Gallup, conducted the first two weeks of October, found that 84% of Americans favor requiring all voters to provide photo identification at their polling place in order to vote.

The poll also found that 83% of Americans favor requiring people who are registering to vote for the first time to provide proof of citizenship.
