"Indeed, Whitmarsh points out that the survey excludes the 26% of
researchers who are neither convinced nor unconvinced by the ACC
arguments."

????? Does that mean they don't think it is worth their time to
consider ACC?

Pretty much. One should never underestimate the extent to which most
people are busy with their own lives and ignore or are uninterested in
things outside that. That is why there are "undecideds" up till
voting day even when there is a large policy difference between
candidates and why voting is not 100%. Of course, the reason why
there is lower turnout in the U.S. is largely because we require
voters to undergo more hoops and intentionally make it harder for
certain groups (typically the poor and workers) to vote.

What by making sure people show proper ID ?

No problem getting that if you want, and you are a LEGAL citizen.
(costs $10 on average for ID, more for drivers license)

Please tell how we make it hard for workers to vote.

How does an 80-year old person, who was born at home (and so has no
birth certificate), and has never had a driver's license, get an ID?
