Polling shows GOP Voters Have High Confidence in Integrity of 2024 Election

Fresh off of a general election victory that 98% of their own voters believe was conducted with integrity, this week Georgia Republicans released another slate of policies that will make voting harder across the Peach State. Republicans’ priorities, a voter-suppression wish list, include ending “Motor Voter” registration, ending early in-person voting and no-excuse absentee voting, banning Dominion voting machines, and codifying State Election Board policies (which were overturned by courts) that would grant the unelected body a superpower to invalidate state election results they don’t like. 

Debunking some of the main conspiracy theories fueling Republican angst over who is able to cast ballots, an investigation conducted by Georgia Secretary of State Republican Brad Raffensperger confirmed that non-citizen voter registration in the state is effectively non-existent. A post-election audit of the state’s use of QR codes on ballots also concluded “the QR codes were 100% correct in all cases.” 

“Georgia voters, not right-wing activists, decide who wins our elections,” said DPG spokesman Dave Hoffman. “Georgia Republicans still cannot imagine why anybody would vote against their top priorities like outlawing abortion, defunding public education, or cutting taxes for billionaires, which is why they’re focused on systematically shrinking the electorate — and why they’re so willing to undermine public confidence in our elections to make it happen.” 

Undeterred by having their actions regularly overturned in court, last month a majority of Georgia’s State Election Board, who Donald Trump described as his “pitbulls for victory” at a campaign rally last year, voted 3-1 to force the hiring of a 2020 election denier to fill one of the board’s two full-time investigator positions. Multiple investigations of Georgia’s 2020 election, including one hired by President Trump’s campaign, have confirmed that the 2020 election was not stolen.
