According to the latest Rasmussen survey, 61% of US voters agree with former President Donald Trump on the need to reform election laws in the states.
Rasmussen conducted a survey of 1,000 voters across the United States from July 15 to July 18. The survey error is +-3 percentage points.
Rasmussen’s survey coincided with Trump’s announcement that: “Electoral reform must be done in swing states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, Wisconsin, and Arizona. Voters are losing faith in these states’ electoral processes.”
Here are the results of Rasmussen’s survey:
• 42% strongly agree with Mr. Trump’s statement and 19% “partially” agree.
• 34% disagree with Mr. Trump’s statement.
• 84% of Republicans agree with Mr. Trump.
• 56% of voters agree with President Joe Biden’s statement that America is “facing the most significant test of our democracy since the Civil War” on electoral reforms.
• 33% strongly agree with Mr. Biden’s statement and 23% “partially” agree.
• 37% disagree with Mr. Biden’s statement.
• 82% of Democrats agree with Mr. Biden.
• 63% of nonpartisan independents agree with Mr. Trump on electoral reform, while 41% of these agree with Mr. Biden’s statement.
“Joe Bien may have won the White House, but in the political battle over electoral integrity, former President Donald Trump appears to be winning,” Rasmussen said in a news release about the survey results.

Republicans see these as a measure of electoral integrity, while Democrats see them as laws that restrict people’s right to vote, especially minorities, people of color, and people with disabilities. disability.
Democrats in the states are doing everything they can to stop Republicans from voting on electoral reform laws. Texas Democratic lawmakers are currently fleeing the state to Washington DC to prevent Texas House Republicans from passing two electoral reform bills.
Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf (Democrat) also recently vetoed an electoral reform bill passed by the Republican-controlled chambers of the Senate.
Republicans, especially in swing states, in addition to pushing for electoral reform, are also working to conduct 2020 election forensics tests to determine if there are election irregularities and voter fraud in the 2020 election as Mr. Trump and his allies keep claiming or not.
The Arizona Senate has been conducting 2020 election inspections in Maricopa County since early April and completed a manual recount of nearly 2.1 million votes by the end of June. The Maricopa County election inspector report is expected to be released in the next few weeks.
A Pennsylvania Senate committee also announced it would conduct election inspections in three counties, including Philadelphia. Georgia Republicans are likely to soon conduct election inspections in Fulton County as well.
