New poll confirms Republicans' wariness of voting by mail
Source: Washington Post
A new Washington Post-University of Maryland poll finds that while Democrats are split on whether they prefer to vote in person or by mail, 71 percent of Republicans say they prefer to vote in person, with 21 percent preferring to vote by mail and 9 percent preferring to drop off their ballot.
There’s evidence that Trump’s frequent warnings about mail voting are persuading Republicans to avoid it: While 95 percent of people who say they’re definitely voting for Trump are confident that their ballot cast in person on Election Day will be counted accurately, that goes down to 45 percent when asked how confident they are of the same outcome when voting by mail. Sixty-five percent of those definitely voting for Trump predict that fraudulent attempts to vote will happen very or somewhat often.
Why is that a potential problem for Trump and Republicans?
It could make it more difficult for these voters to cast ballots. All states will offer some kind of in-person voting in November, even the nine states — plus D.C. — that are automatically sending out ballot to voters.
