Americans sour on the primary election process and major political parties
By NICHOLAS RICCARDI and
LINLEY SANDERS
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — With the GOP presi-
dential primaries just about to start, many
Republicans aren’t certain that votes will
be counted correctly in their contest, as
pessimism spreads about the future of
both the Democratic and Republican
parties, according to a new poll from
The Associated Press-NORC Center for
Public Affairs Research.
About one-third of Republicans say they
have a “great deal” or “quite a bit” of
confidence that votes in the Republican
primary elections and caucuses will be
counted correctly. About three in 10 Re-
publicans report a “moderate” amount
of confidence, and 32% say they have
“only a little” or “none at all.” In contrast,
72% of Democrats have high confidence
their party will count votes accurately
in its primary contests. Democrats are
also slightly more likely than Republicans
to have a high level of confidence in
the Republican Party’s vote count be-
ing accurate. Republicans continue to
be broadly doubtful about votes being
counted accurately — in the early con-
tests or beyond them.
Voters pass a sign outside a polling site in Warwick, R.I., on Nov. 7, 2022.
