A Majority of Likely Voters Believe the 2024 Election Will Be Tainted by Cheating, Survey Finds
A majority of voters are concerned that the 2024 election will be marred by cheating, a new survey released by Rasmussen Reports and the Heartland Institute finds.
Sixty-two percent of “Likely Voters” are “concerned that cheating will affect the outcome of the 2024 election, including 37% who are Very Concerned,” the survey found. When broken down among presidential preference, 83 percent of voters who claimed they voted for former President Donald Trump in 2020 are “at least somewhat concerned that cheating will affect the outcome of the 2024 election,” the survey found. Forty-two percent of voters who said they supported President Joe Biden in the last election cycle expressed the same concern.
Concerns about the security of mail-in ballots were also raised in the survey. Twenty-two percent of Republicans surveyed as well as 18 percent of both Democrats and participating “voters not affiliated with either major party, [said] they either received more than one official ballot in the mail or received a ballot for someone who does not live at their address in 2020.” The share of voters who said they received “multiple mail-in ballots in 2020 is higher (20%) among voters” in swing states Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, according to the survey.
The survey was conducted amongst 2,466 likely voters nationally and “5,605 likely voters in the battleground states” of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. The survey was conducted via phone and online between July 5 – 12.
“The fact that more than 60% of likely voters are concerned about election integrity should be a massive wake-up call to all those who refuse to admit that potential cheating in elections is a major problem,” Editorial Director of The Heartland Institute Chris Talgo said.
