As Texas GOP lawmakers push election fraud claims, the party’s voters say elections work fine

Even as Texas Republicans continue to use election security to justify pushing bills that would make it harder to cast ballots, a new survey shows the majority of voters in their own party have no problem with current election laws. A poll by the nonpartisan Secure Elections Project found that most Texas Republicans and conservatives say they trust the state’s election system. According to the survey data, 83% of Texas GOP voters are satisfied with the current system, while 86% trust election officials to be fair and accurate.
