When you say "well-established," do you mean within your own mind? It seems like the public overwhelmingly (80%) thinks otherwise. https://www.monmouth.edu/polling-institute/reports/monmouthp...

We don't use majority rule to settle issues of fundamental rights in the United States, so I don't see how your comment is relevant.

If these rights would be so fundamental that the Constitutional questions would be pretty much settled, you wouldn't have some states require ID while others not require ID to vote. There's clearly no legal consensus.

How are public opinions on a topic related to ongoing well-established legal rulings on the topic?

Strangely, the well-established legal rulings are the opposite of what you think they are, so they wouldn't help your cause: https://www.judicialwatch.org/supreme-court-upholds-voter-id...

This being a democracy, public opinions do matter even about issues that may be settled by a court.
