Do people honestly think the 2020 was rigged? Rasmussen Poll. WTF?

While most folks agree that Trump couldn't prove anything and has acted like a complete jackass post election, that does not mean they think the vote count was "clean". The American populace in general appears very supportive of voter ID and more interested in voter integrity than maximizing the absolute numbers of people that vote.

Of course the Progressive wing seems to have some sway (haha) over Dems feel otherwise.

Election Integrity: Most Voters Still Suspect Cheating

Wednesday, May 25, 2022

Protesting the integrity of elections remains a high priority for American voters, most of whom still suspect there was cheating in the 2020 presidential election.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 55% of Likely U.S. voters believe cheating likely affected the outcome of the 2020 presidential election, including 39% who think it’s Very Likely. Thirty-nine percent (39%) don’t think cheating affected the 2020 election, including 28% who say it’s Not At All Likely. These findings are almost identical to results in March. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Voters overwhelmingly endorse voter ID laws. Seventy-nine percent (79%) believe requiring photo ID to vote is a reasonable measure to protect the integrity of elections, and only 15% disagree. Support for voter ID has increased slightly since March.

When asked to choose their election priorities, 39% believe making it easier for everybody to vote is more important, while 59% think making sure there is no cheating in elections is more important.
