About A Third Of Republicans Believe Votes Won't Be Counted Correctly In 2024
[ET via ZERO] An Associated Press-NORC survey released this week found that some 32 percent of Republican voters believe votes likely won't be counted correctly ahead of the 2024 primaries and election.
About a third of GOP voters told pollsters that they have a "great deal" or "quite a bit" of confidence that votes in the Republican primary elections and caucuses will be counted correctly. Around three in 10 Republicans have a "moderate" level of confidence, while 32 percent said they have either "only a little" confidence in elections or "none at all."
The AP poll found that 72 percent of Democrat voters have high confidence their party will count votes accurately in its primary contests, while they are more likely than Republicans to have a high level of confidence in the Republican Party’s vote count being accurate.
Meanwhile, about one-quarter of Republicans say they have at least "quite a bit" of confidence that the votes in the 2024 presidential election will be counted accurately, significantly lower than Democrats. Slightly fewer than half of U.S. adults overall—or 46 percent—believe the same, which is in line with an AP-NORC poll conducted in June.
The AP-NORC poll also found a widespread lack of trust in both major political parties among U.S. adults overall. Slightly fewer than half of U.S. adults, or 46 percent, told pollsters that they are pessimistic about the means by which the country's leaders are selected.
