While Democrats and the mainstream media insist the 2020 election was secure and fair, voters are not convinced and a large majority worry that cheating will be an issue come November.
A new survey by Rasmussen Reports and the Heartland Institute found a staggering 62% of likely voters are concerned about election integrity.
“How concerned are you that cheating will affect the outcome of the 2024 election?” asked the question in the new telephone and online survey of 2,466 likely voters conducted from July 9-12, 2024. Notably, this was before the attempted assassination against former President Donald J. Trump and before President Joe Biden ended his re-election bid.
With a combined 62% responding that they were concerned about cheating in the 2024 election, 37% said they were very concerned, 25% were somewhat concerned, 20% said they were not very concerned, 15% not at all concerned, and 3% responded that they were not sure.
62% Concerned About Election Cheating

The same question was put to 5,605 likely voters in the battleground states of Arizona, Nevada, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan. The results were strikingly similar with 62% again expressing concerns about election integrity.
“The fact that more than 60% of likely voters are concerned about election integrity should be a massive wake-up call to all those who refuse to admit that potential cheating in elections is a major problem,” Chris Talgo, editorial director of The Heartland Institute, noted.
“As the 2020 election demonstrated, mass mailing of ballots based on outdated voter rolls, ballot harvesting, unattended drop boxes, and no excuse mail-in voting has made it easier than ever for those who are committed to breaking the law and illegally voting,” he added. “The fact that nearly one-in-five likely voters received multiple ballots before the 2020 election cements the case for the urgent need for election integrity reform measures across the states.”
Nearly one in five of those surveyed said that in 2020, they received multiple mail-in ballots with 18% saying they “personally received more than one official ballot in the mail or received a ballot for someone who does not live at their address,” Rasmussen reported.
“The number who say they got multiple mail-in ballots in 2020 is higher (20%) among voters in six states (Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin) viewed as key ‘battlegrounds’ in this year’s election,” the outlet added.
A little more than one percent of likely voters in battleground states said they’re not U.S. citizens while nationally more than five percent said they are not U.S. citizens.
“In December of last year, we discovered that more than one in every five voters admitted to voting fraudulently during the 2020 election,” Donald Kendal, director of the Socialism Research Center at The Heartland Institute, said.
“In April of this year, we found that 28% of likely voters admitted they would cheat in the upcoming 2024 election if given the opportunity. Given these past results, it should come as no surprise that a large majority of voters are concerned that cheating will impact the 2024 election,” he added. “These findings collectively illustrate a dire need for comprehensive election integrity reforms to be instituted in all 50 states.”
Jim Lakely, the vice president and director of communications at The Heartland Institute said it’s “no wonder” voters are concerned considering what transpired in 2020.
“Millions of Americans watched normal election rules be thrown out the window in 2020, and then watched the count drag on and on in just the states that Joe Biden needed to win the election by the narrowest of margins. It’s no wonder, then, that a strong majority of Americans are worried that cheating will affect the outcome this November. And they have good reason to worry when this poll shows that 20% of likely voters in battleground states report receiving multiple ballots in the mail or a ballot for someone who doesn’t even live there,” Lakely said.
“The tools for election fraud are everywhere, and that’s why people are rightly worried that millions of illegal ballots might be cast in November. Most states have done little to nothing to fix their broken election laws, which is a recipe for conducting ‘the most important election in our lifetimes’ that is also the least-secure in the Western world,” he added.
