on which is the real threat.

Republicans and Democrats are almost identically split on whether they think voter fraud or voter suppression is a bigger issue in the US, according to a new Quinnipiac poll.

The poll, published on Thursday, found that 49% of the Americans questioned said voter suppression was a bigger issue, while 42% said voter fraud was a bigger issue.

When broken down by party lines, 83% of Democrats said voter suppression while only 13% said voter fraud, and 82% of Republicans said fraud and 11% said suppression.

Independents were more closely split, with 47% saying voter suppression posed a bigger threat while 44% chose voter fraud.

1. Well there was no voter fraud, and the GQP voted against funds to secure the vote anyway

So... they’re really silly to believe the big lie, but it shows you how effective and dangerous such nonsense is.

2. Repugs think it gives them an edge.

That’s really all they care about. They don’t care if there’s actual fraud, and many probably don’t even believe it.

3. Republicans have been lied to about voter fraud

by their President (Trump) and by their news sources for years-- they've been gaslighted and their politicians are more than happy to use it as an excuse to suppress the vote.

4. so they poll some sane people and some insane believe-in-tooth-fairy MFers.

And find out that what sane people believe matches reality and what the insane believe is fantasy?

Brilliant. Thanks Quinnipiac.

5. Why would they "bother" going for the truth when you have idiots like chris christy out there

Saying they need to be calling President Joe Biden a liar.

Ass holes!

6. The big lie works. Hitler and Goebbels knew it. The GOP knows it.

Fraud is coming, but under the guise of voter suppression.

It will be felt in Georgia, where the blue counties will have election boards replaced mid-stream during the mid-term elections. Republican votes will be "found" on command.

7. One of those is based in reality and the other one isn't.
