(The Center Square) – A new poll states one in five voters admit to at least one type of voter fraud with voters who used mail-in ballots from the 2020 presidential election.
That is according to a new poll by a free-market think tank, The Heartland Institute, and Rasmussen Reports. The poll comprised 1,085 likely voters from Nov. 30 through Dec. 6, 2023.
Surveyors were asked several questions during the poll, and 21% of those who voted by mail answered yes when asked if they had filled out a mail-in ballot in any part for a friend or family member. While many states allow assistance when voting, filling out a ballot for a friend or family member is illegal in all states.
The report also revealed that 17% of mail-in voters said they had voted in a state where they were no longer permanent residents. Also, 17% of voters said they had signed a ballot for a friend or family member.
“THE MOST IMPORTANT POLL RELEASED IN THE LAST 20 YEARS CAME OUT YESTERDAY STATING THAT 20% OF THE MAIL IN BALLOTS IN THE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION WERE RIGGED OR DEFECTIVE,” Donald Trump posted Wednesday on his Truth Social account. “THAT MEANS THAT THE ELECTION WAS A GIANT SCAM. YOU CANNOT HAVE A FAIR AND HONEST ELECTION AS LONG AS THERE ARE MAIL IN BALLOTS. CHEATING WILL ALWAYS BE PREVALENT. FRANCE, AND MANY COUNTRIES, HAVE STOPPED THE MADNESS. THE REPUBLICAN PARTY MUST DO SOMETHING NOW!!!”
The election data shows that 40% of voters used mail-in ballots. The highest number in U.S. history, according to the report.
“The results of this poll should be eye-opening to anyone that claims to care about the legitimacy of our democratic institutions. Since the 2020 elections, anyone who questioned the security of widespread mail-in balloting was dismissed as a conspiracy theorist. Now, those people are 100% vindicated in their concerns,” said Donald Kendal, deputy director for the Socialism Research Center.
“The only question that remains is whether these stunning admissions by voters will result in reforms to our country’s election laws.” Kendal continued
The survey revealed that eight percent of mail-in voters were offered a “pay” or “reward” by family members, friends, or an organization to vote.
Look Ahead America (LAA) has also reported on election issues in the states of Georgia, Wisconsin, and Arizona.
“This poll validates all the research we did since 2021, as do official prosecution referrals and over 280 cases under investigation,” Ian Camacho, director of research for Look Ahead America, said in a media release. “Those reporters, government officials, and think tanks that previously ‘debunked’ our work will spin this naturally but data does not lie.”
