Almost 9 in 10 U.S. voters felt the November election was run well, according to new survey data. That's a jump compared with 2020 — an increase driven exclusively by Republican voters.

F*ck them. As you that freaking stupid NPR? For four years these assholes whined and cried about the 2020 election and just because they won it suddenly was well run. Why didn’t you print that the 2020 was well run which is why Biden WON!! Your article sucks.
Everything is rosy as long as they win. Then they tell us to stop crying after they spent 4 years crying about a stolen election just because they lost.
Of course they thought that, they didn't have Republicans out on ever TV in the country 25 times a day lying to everyone the election was stolen. Of course the one the Reich claims was stolen was during the timne Turmp was president.
Who would have guessed that the GOP propaganda machine worked so well for Donald when he was a sore loser. He only lied to his whole base and caused an insurrection
They've been dumbed-down beyond rehabilitation. Democracy is doomed when nearly half the population believes lies, and is skeptical of the truth. We won't survive in this environment.
They keep asking the wrong sample size. I have no faith that this election was conducted fairly, or ran well. It's almost 10 years after he first announced his first run. Russia all of sudden stopped meddling? Get out of here.
No surprises here. For all the decades I've been voting, elections have been run by local citizens committed to be meticulous about honesty, fairness, accuracy, and impartiality. It was only in 2020 when Donald Trump lost that the candidate himself fabricated "The Big Lie.".
Curious if this surge in election confidence will continue if, as a result of the midterm elections, the Democrats win back the majority in both chambers. There’s one way to find out.
What do these people base this on? It’s not like they have any insights into backend data or operations. It’s because the media and politicians aren’t crying and whining about it. That’s why.
It's almost like Republican voters don't have an accurate picture of reality. Almost like they are completely and utterly useless bobbleheads, swayed by thousands of con artists and a multi-billion dollar propaganda exercise. There is little value to their opinions anymore.
This is a sad comment on the amount of disinformation that has warped perceptions of elections for republican voters. If they can only feel confidence in elections if their candidate wins, we really don’t actually have confidence in our elections in this country.
We need everyone to work on the right and get them to admit the 2020 election wasn't stolen (because why didn't the left just do it again?), and tell them we don't want to hear from them on this in future.
Well of course they did. Had Trump lost, the number would have been 5 in 10 because all Trumpers would have had no other way to vent again because they do not need facts.
Guess who won? Freaking Trump. That is no wonder why the increase was exclusively by MAGAers. I will bet you that if Trump lost, they would have said the election was stolen. Tell me something I don’t know.
Hmm ... 9 out of 10 seems a bit high. Especially considering the bomb threats and voting issues in some precincts. Oh wait, their guy was "winning", so "nothing to see here citizens, move along".
Yes but what were they saying BEFORE the election is what matters. Of course they feel that way now after things went their way. I’m still curious to see if any media outlets will dig deeper on all of the weird stuff T****p said about already having all the votes he needed ahead of the election.
Did we make any significant changes between “I know for sure there’s widespread fraud and a stolen election,” and “this was free and fair,” or are they just exactly what we knew they were the whole time?
As someone who worked at a polling place on Election Day, my answer would have been bitter laughter followed by the sound on mini bottles falling out of my coat sleeves.
It's only fair when they win. But whatever, I'm not going to throw a hissy fit about it. I'll stick with the nihilism I feel on the horizon. Democracy is f$%&ed, and we're just going to backslide by 60 years at least. I've just accepted we haven't learned our lesson and are doomed to repeat history.
Thanks to corporate owned/controlled media people have no idea what's going on. Our elections are anything but fair and secure. #handcountedpaperballots #TrumpCheated
BULLSH*T! MAGA was intent on cheating and voter suppression since their 2020 loss,m Elon Muskn gave out $1m a day in swing states, Trump's ENTIRE campaign was based on lies and an unAmerican push towards a facist dictatorship. And dems were just too weak to stop corrupt asshole Nazi billionaires

Who are we hating today?
Those people!
Did we like them last week?
Yes, but big brother says to hate them!
Ok. They suck
a few days later...
Those people are our friends! We hate these people!
But you liked me last week?
You're these people! We like those people!

So glad to share a democracy with people utterly devoid of objectivity to the point they'll lap up any accusations of fraud, _even before an election happens_, because they could not possibly lose.
"Republican voters" are useless if that's their attitude.
In other words, Republicans are just sore losers? Isn't the real story that Republicans have ramped up voter subversion and suppression of non-GOP voters over the last four years and will continue to do so?
All this says is Republican Voters are a bunch of immature sore loser and if Trump would not have won, it was going to be hailed as another rigged election and they would throw temper tantrums.
If you consider 5/5 Republicans are okay with it, and 4/5 Democrats are okay with it, that still leaves about 20% of Democrats who you are probably hearing from. They are definitely going to seek like-minded people to discuss it with, so you would likely see groups or communities as well.
They would be crying "rigged" again if he had not won even though there was no corruption found in the last election. No thanks to the media for not combating the misinformation, disinformation and sane-washing that got him elected.
Even in states where Republicans won the presidential vote but lost the Senate or House people claimed fraud, only in the races they lost.
Kari Lake lost (which is a good thing) and I saw people saying the election was rigged. Yep, rigged the Senate but not Presidency... that's how we would do it.
Every single time and it’s going to be the same in 2026; unless we win by a landslide and even then those fkin maga cultists will be complaining about it.
We can't go back to the way things were before Chump. We need to flip our response to them. We have to say something ahead of time like "Hey Maggots, when we win don't start your tantrums and false allegations again, like you did with Chump!" 😄 Something like that!
If Republicans still think the 2020 election was “stolen” why didn’t the Democrats steal the 2024 election? I mean if you can do that without avoiding detection for 4 years while all these right wingers are looking for…
Hummm…pretty sure that survey data would be different if Trump loss the election. Funny how that is—the MAGA mindset—their thought process is mind boggling.
If Trump lost the 2024 election, the whole thing was rigged—BUT, since Trump won—same US citizens who voted—now, no rigged election.🤔
If they lost, everything would be about how Dems stole the election. They will never be happy until they have everything, so why worry about their happiness.
With ultimate power and immunity, Queen Kamala will negate election results, fire SCOTUS, stop arming Israel, and sign the ERA. She may also choose to save the Constitution, public services, and halt mass deportations.
Added bonus, DJT won't get to use his 47th POTUS merch.💁♀️
That's because they won & democrats don't make up stuff like THE BIG LIE....but also.... what about the bomb threats that happened in 56 blue cities where Biden won in 2020? These happened in swing states, high population blue cities like Phillie, Milwaukee and Atlanta. Definitely voter suppression.
Every accusation from a republican is an admission. They call the left cheaters, because they themselves are cheaters. Even on the small scale, nearly every vote fraud incident is by a republican because "the left is doing it, so I'm doing it to even it out"
They were so ready to put up a stink about it as well. Claims of all kinds of fraud were flying around, and suddenly went away. Hundreds of election lawsuits were prepared or filed and then dropped. People were preparing for another insurrection. And it all went quiet when they won.
Yeah when they win everything was “run well”, no mention of the bomb threats they used in heavily Democratic districts that resulted in far fewer Democrats voting this year.
Fuck you NPR for sane washing Trump, now they want to defund you.

U.S. elections are fair and secure.
Puhleeze
They always were!
They are petulant 6 year olds.
Roughly 244 million Americans were eligible to vote in 2024.
(73,803,704 votes) - D
(76,481,798 votes) - R
It’s just the beginning, we are already seeing the chaos.
Funny how that works.
🤔
The human brain has deeply flawed software.
When Democrats win then they believe it's because of voter fraud .
my guy wins = elections were fair
my guy loses = RIGGED!!! STORM THE CAPITAL!!!
Now Trump wants to change that.
How retarded.

Jeezus, you've lost all credibility.

Don’t like the reporting?

Can you imagine if they had lost???
Dems win = cheated.
Kari Lake lost (which is a good thing) and I saw people saying the election was rigged. Yep, rigged the Senate but not Presidency... that's how we would do it.
"The increase in voting
confidence was driven exclusively by Republican voters."
We win. The election was GRRRRRRRRREEEATTTTTTTTTT!!
We lose. Stop The Steal!!! Stop The Steal!!! Stop The Steal!!!
Americans are fucking idiots.
I'm not here to contest the outcomes or claim fraud but US elections are anything but well run.

They can all fuck right on off and stop destroying our country.
