Americans fear post-election violence
According to opinion polls, an overwhelming majority of registered voters, about 75%, are concerned about violent attempts to overturn the results of the 2024 election.
That includes a majority of Republicans, though Democrats are significantly more concerned about post-election violence.
66% of voters said they did not think former President Trump would accept the results if he lost — compared to 22% who said the same about Vice President Harris.
Even if there's no violence after Election Day, two-thirds of voters say they are concerned that local or state officials will try to prevent the certification of the election results.
73% of them say they are concerned about attempts to overturn the election through the court system.
Between the lines: Trump and his allies have already laid the groundwork to reject the results if he loses, as he did last time.
56% of Republicans in the survey said they did not believe President Biden was legitimately elected in 2020.
