Elon Poll: Voters Concerned About Election Interference, Absentee Ballot Issues

A new Elon University poll shows that voters in North Carolina voters are concerned about election interference and mail-in ballot issues. There are also worries about post-election violence.

The survey was conducted early last week. It shows that just over half of registered voters in the state are worried they will be intimidated or harassed when they go to vote, and are equally concerned about the spread of COVID-19 from in-person voting.

About 40 percent say they expect the election outcome to be influenced by foreign governments.

A majority of respondents don't expect to know who won the presidential race by the close of Election Day. A little more than half are confident Americans will accept the results.

And the poll found clear differences of opinion based on party affiliation.

Jason Husser directed the Elon Poll. He says that while voters are skeptical about many aspects of electoral integrity, most have reported a positive experience voting this year.
