In a healthy democracy, citizens recognize the legitimacy of elections. For the U.S., that ship appears to have sailed. (via MaddowBlog)
The poll shows 47% of Americans say they have “a great deal” or “quite a bit” of confidence that the votes in the 2022 midterm elections will be counted accurately. Confidence is highest among Democrats, 74% of whom say they’re highly confident. On the Republican side, confidence in elections is decidedly mixed: 25% have high confidence, 30% have moderate confidence and 45% have little to no confidence.
Even before Donald Trump came down the Trump Tower escalator seven years ago, Republican officials peddled baseless claims about “voter fraud” that only existed in partisan imaginations, which they used to justify wholly unnecessary voting restrictions. As for why this matters, the consequences are dramatic. For one thing, the more GOP voters believe this nonsense, the more they’ll elect Republicans to impose new and unnecessary voting restrictions.
