(POLL) Most voters say they don’t trust electronic voting machines

The following is from Rasmussen Reports.


A new Rasmussen Reports survey finds that 64% of likely US voters say they’re concerned electronic voting machines could allow votes to be changed remotely via internet connections. That includes 37% who say they are very concerned.

Thirty-one percent (31%) say they aren’t concerned, including 13% who are not at all concerned.

The issue of election integrity was highlighted last month when President Donald Trump called for the return of paper ballots, calling electronic voting machines “inaccurate.”

Forty percent (40%) of voters say they would prefer using a paper ballot, while 28% prefer machines. Twenty-nine percent (29%) say it doesn’t make much difference.

Forty percent (40%) say voting machines make it easier to cheat in elections, compared to 26% who believe machines make it harder to cheat. Among those who believe cheating is easier with machines, 81% say they’re concerned about remote vote-changing.

Republicans are more likely than Democrats to say voting machines enable cheating (50% vs. 37%), and a majority (51%) of Republicans say they prefer paper ballots. That compares to 33% of Democrats and 40% of unaffiliated voters.

Despite party differences, majorities in all political categories say they are at least somewhat concerned about hacking possibilities: 77% of Republicans, 56% of Democrats, and 61% of independents.

Among 2024 voters, 55% of those who voted for Trump prefer paper ballots, compared to just 29% of those who voted for Kamala Harris.
