Republican voters have grown skeptical of the reliability of their own party’s primaries, according to a recent poll.
An Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll found that 37% of Republicans had a “great deal” or “quite a bit” of confidence that Republican primary and caucus votes would be counted correctly. Another 31% expressed “moderate” confidence, and 32% said they had “only a little” or “none at all.”

“Nothing will be fair because the last election was rigged,” Julie Duggan, 32, told the Associated Press. “I don’t trust any of them at this point.”
In contrast, 72% of Democrats expressed confidence that their votes would be counted correctly. Democratic voters also expressed more confidence than Republicans that Republican primary votes would be counted correctly.
On the other hand, Republicans were even less confident in Democratic primaries, with only one-fifth of Republican voters expressing a “great deal” or “quite a bit” of confidence that the votes would be counted correctly.
