Republican Fraud Belief Delegitimizes Congress

A large share of Republican voters now say they expect enough voter fraud to change which party controls Congress. That belief is concentrated among MAGA supporters and coexists with much lower confidence among Democrats, producing asymmetric expectations about whether election results (and post‑election seating disputes) are legitimate. — Widespread partisan conviction that fraud will decide control of Congress raises the risk of contested seating, legal and extra‑legal challenges, and long‑term erosion of democratic legitimacy.
