Among Republican voters, there is a great lack of trust of America’s election officials and democratic institutions
, faith is hard to restore. A select committee of America’s House of Representatives is investigating the Capitol riot on January 6th, in which a mob stormed the building in an attempt to overturn the result of the 2020 presidential election. The committee has subpoenaed various figures from Donald Trump’s administration who may have been involved in the riot or otherwise aided his attempts to undermine the result, but the malaise in American democracy runs beyond the world of officialdom. .
The researchers found that Republicans’ misgivings about the counting of their own votes were highest in states where the presidential race was closest. They estimate that about one-third of Republicans living in states decided by less than one percentage point believed the election was tallied correctly, compared with over 60% in the states with the largest margins for Mr Trump. This pattern was not present in past elections.
Mistrust is not confined to the Republican Party. In 2016 Messrs Clark and Stewart found that Democrats in states where Hillary Clinton barely lost were also less likely to believe their votes were counted accurately, though by not as large a margin as sceptical Republicans in 2020.
