A majority of Republican voters think the election was free and fair, a significant jump from before Election Day, as the aftermath of the election has so far been largely devoid of voter fraud claims.
The Republican candidate for governor of Pennsylvania conceded his loss on November 5. It's T.
A majority of GOP voters think the elections were free and fair.
That marks a record high for Republican respondents trust in the midterms since Morning Consult began polling the question in January 2021, the pollster reported, and is up from 42% who predicted the midterms would be free and fair.
The Democrats had more trust in the election results than the Republicans.
Morning Consult notes that Republican men were more likely to accept the results than women, which is consistent with its polling on this question.
Republicans have a lot of faith in the results of the elections, but they aren't happy with the whole thing. Less than half of Republicans said they had a lot of trust in the election system.
There have been no major disruptions or challenges to the results so far, despite fears after the 2020 election that there may have been voter fraud. There have been no major protests from GOP voters or attempts to challenge the results of the election despite Trump's push for conspiracy theories. Many of the GOP candidates that lost in the 2020 election continued to deny the results of the election. After drawing widespread attention as election deniers and raising fears about how they would handle their losses, many Republicans have conceded their races.
Republican candidates who have lost their races may still be challenged. Karamo, who lost the Michigan secretary of state race by a 14-point margin, told her supporters there was more to come and that she wouldn't concede. The Associated Press projected on Monday night that Lake lost the Arizona governor's race because she wouldn't accept the results of her race if she lost. It is not clear if Lake will challenge the results of her race; as of Tuesday morning the candidate had only said on social media, "Arizonans know BS when they see it."
The Morning Consult poll found surging support for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who has gained attention as the GOP's next standard-bearer and potential presidential candidate after a landslide win. A record number of potential GOP primary voters say they would vote for the governor over another candidate, up from 26% before the elections. A plurality of people would still support Trump, which is down from the majority who supported him in the summer.
Despite the GOP's poor performance, its voters see the elections as free and fair.
The Trump election conspiracy boosters mostly accept their losses.
Trump asserts baseless midterm election fraud claims.
The election officials were worried. There are reasons baseless claims haven't caused chaos.
