October 14, 2021: Eighty-three percent (83%) of voters believe making it easier to vote and harder to cheat should be the goal of election reform. However, a Scott Rasmussen national survey found voters divided on which part of that goal needs to be addressed first.[1]
As of September 2021, 51% say making it harder to cheat is the higher priority, while 37% take the opposite view.[1]
A majority of Democrats (57%) believe making it easier to vote is more important. However, most Republicans (70%) and independents (52%) believe the focus of electoral reform should be making it harder to cheat.[1]
Voters are evenly divided as to which party they trust most to handle electoral reform. Thirty-two percent (32%) trust Republicans, 32% Democrats, and 16% don’t trust either party.[1]
