U.S. Voters (Overwhelmingly) Want Their Old Election System Back

 The recent midterm elections were marked by claims of voter fraud and possible ballot manipulation behind the scenes by partisan actors

  • In response, the I&I/TIPP Poll asked 1,094 registered voters to select among three possible reforms or rule changes: "Requiring voters to show a photo I.D. to vote," "Stricter mail-in voting," and "Banning ballot harvesting."
  • The answers showed an overwhelming sentiment in favor of change.

The results:

  • In the Senate, Republicans technically hold one more seat (49) in the Senate than the Democrats (48).

Many states discouraged in-person voting, while encouraging online voting

  • Courts have largely stood aside and allowed normally illegal voting practices to take place
  • Arizona Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake pursued her election challenge in a suit against Maricopa County over voting irregularities
  • COVID can no longer be considered a sufficient reason to alter our election laws
