GOP Voters Believe Trump’s Lie That Arizona’s Sham Audit Could Overturn His Election Loss
HuffPost
A new poll finds that half of Republican voters think Trump’s baseless claims of voter fraud could put him back in the White House this year.
Arizona Republicans’ so-called audit of the 2020 election is a charade driven by conspiracy theories and outright lies that has no chance of overturning Donald Trump’s loss to President Joe Biden. But half of Republican voters have bought into the former president’s lies anyway, and believe the “audit” could generate the sort of evidence that leads to Trump’s eventual reinstatement as president, according to a Politico/Morning Consult poll released Wednesday. The poll, which asked 1,994 registered voters nationwide about a wide range of topics, found that 51% of registered Republican voters think the audit will uncover the sort of information that could change the outcome of the election. The figure is identical among self-identified Trump voters. Another recent Politico/Morning Consult poll found that 29% of GOP voters think it is likely that the audit and others like it will result in Trump’s return to office. The same share of GOP voters believe Arizona-type reviews will definitely lead to a new election result, an outcome that is impossible under the U.S. Constitution.
