Trump effort to undermine confidence in elections makes little headway, new report finds
President Donald Trump’s efforts to sow public distrust in election results and expand federal control over elections have so far made little headway, according to a new report from a group of experts who track the health of American democracy.
The finding comes a month after Trump delivered a primetime address to the nation in which he falsely claimed that American election systems were vulnerable to being hacked. “Our elections were left vulnerable to being rigged and stolen,” Trump said in his address. “And the trust of the American people was lost.”
But a recent YouGov poll and a survey of 568 political science experts showed “no measurable change” since Trump’s speech in confidence in the expected integrity of vote-counting in the fall’s midterm elections, according to Bright Line Watch, a group of political scientists that monitors American democratic practices.
