In an AP poll, 64% of Republicans said they had “a great deal” or “quite a bit” of confidence in the accuracy of the 2024 electoral count, while 60% of Democrats felt the same way.

That’s a major shift from when the AP polled Americans after the 2020 election, when just one-third of Republicans believed President Joe Biden won the election legitimately, compared to 97% of Democrats who thought so.
It was in the aftermath of that election when a mob of people who denied the legitimacy of Biden’s win rioted at the U.S. Capitol during the 2021 electoral vote count on Jan. 6.
And this time around, there haven’t been any actions or organized efforts to challenge the legitimacy of the results.
In 2020, President-elect Trump’s campaign and his allies launched 62 lawsuits challenging vote counts in states across the country after losing the election. In 2024, Vice President Kamala Harris filed zero lawsuits challenging vote counts, conceding her loss the day after the election.
