Half of Americans surveyed worry Republicans may try to overturn midterm results
Half of those surveyed said they were worried Republicans may try to overturn the results of November’s midterm election.
The survey asked whether respondents were very or somewhat worried about this possibility.
The concern was about Republicans using illegal means to change the election outcome.
The poll was released on Friday.
The election is scheduled for November, so the concern is about a vote that has not yet taken place.
The survey’s findings show that this possibility is a concern for many respondents ahead of the midterms.
A survey found that 50 percent of respondents were worried Republicans may try to overturn the November midterm election results.
The respondents said they were “very” or “somewhat worried” Republicans could use illegal means.
