35 percent in new survey not confident in accuracy of voting in November

More than a third of voters say they are not confident in voting accuracy heading into the Nov. 5 elections, according to a new survey.

The Marquette University poll found a stark divide along partisan lines, with Republicans about four times as likely as Democrats to say they are either “not too” or “not at all” confident that the votes for president will be accurately cast and counted this fall.

Vice President Harris currently leads former President Trump in national polls with an average of 49.7 percent to 46.9 percent, based on The Hill / Decision Desk HQ polling tracker.

Both have been on campaign blitzes with Election Day less than three weeks away and early voting already underway in several states, including the crucial battleground Georgia.

The Marquette poll found that 56 percent of Republicans surveyed said they are not confident in the upcoming election, compared to 12 percent of Democrats. Additionally, 41 percent of independent voters shared in the skepticism.

In total, 65 percent of voters surveyed said they are “very” or “somewhat” confident the votes will be accurately cast and counted in the 2024 election.

The polling results come as Trump and some allies, including GOP vice presidential candidate Ohio Sen. JD Vance, have continued to cast doubt on his 2020 election loss.

Asked to reflect back on the election from four years ago, Republicans were even more likely — 67 percent — to say they don’t believe that votes were accurately counted in 2020, while 11 percent of Democrats said they were not confident in 2020’s results, the poll found.

The Marquette poll of 886 registered voters nationwide was conducted Oct. 1-10. It has a margin of error of 4.3 percentage points.
