"We don't expect them to cheat. I think there's been enough people that have seen what has happened over the last decade to make sure that it doesn't happen. — Patrick Basom, 53-year-old insurance salesman and Republican candidate, dismissing concerns about Democratic cheating."
"If you ask people whether they think ballots will be counted accurately, Democrats... — Lee Miringoff, Marist College pollster, indicating bipartisan confidence exists in accurate ballot counting and election system integrity."
President Trump accused Democrats of planning to cheat in upcoming elections without providing evidence. NPR surveyed voters in Pennsylvania's 10th and 7th congressional districts to gauge public response. Nearly all Republicans interviewed disagreed with Trump's allegations, stating Democrats could win legitimately and that mass voter fraud is impractical. Republican voters cited sufficient safeguards preventing fraud. This contrasts with 2020 when over 70% of Republicans distrusted election results, but after Trump's 2024 victory, nearly 90% of Republicans reported confidence in election integrity. Pollsters note bipartisan confidence in the electoral system currently exists.
