Democrats not confident 2020 US election will be fair, survey finds

Findings underscore partisan divide over voting as Democrats push to ease restrictions while Republicans defend them

As America hurtles towards the critical 2020 presidential election during the Covid-19 pandemic, less than half of Democrats are confident it will be fair and accurate, according to a new national survey from the Pew Research Center.

Just 46% of Democrats are confident in the fairness and accuracy of the November election, the survey found. Even fewer are confident all citizens will be able to vote if they want to.
