Somehow I don't think think that the "somewhats" would ""agree" were this not a Trumpian trope, a theme that he and some of his allies have used to turn the normal irregularities in any election into satanic plots, offering no evidence -- such as the normal who-when-where-how that is a normal part of any fraud.Here's what Likely Voters think is the mess in Maricopa County:
Republicans in Arizona say problems with the election in Maricopa County prevented many people from voting. How likely is it that these problems affected the outcome of the Senate election in Arizona?
Importance LV's Republican Democrat Other Very likely 40% 52% 23% 45%Somewhat likely 31% 27% 42% 23%Not very likely 10% 11% 10% 8%Not at all likely 13% 4% 20% 16%Not sure 6% 5% 5% 8%
Do you agree or disagree with this statement about the election problems in Arizona: “This isn't about Republicans or Democrats. This is about our sacred right to vote, a right that many voters were, sadly, deprived of on November 8th"?
Agreement LV's Republican Democrat Other Strongly agree 45% 60% 35% 41%Somewhat agree 27% 18% 34% 29%Somewhat disagree 5% 5% 6% 3%Strongly disagree 13% 8% 17% 15%Not sure 10% 9% 8% 13%
So it doesn't matter what party you look at, a majority at least somewhat agrees that the fiasco in Maricopa County deprived many citizens of their right to vote and may have affected the outcome of the Senate election. In fact, the spread in opinions is only nine points wide for the second and fourteen for the second, these days that's pretty much a solid agreement.
