Two years after allegations of fraud in the presidential election that were never proved, voters have regained their trust in Georgia elections.
New polling by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution shows that voter confidence rebounded from a low point following the 2020 contest, an increase in faith among both conservatives and liberals.
About 73% of registered voters said they were very confident or somewhat confident that November’s general election was conducted fairly and accurately, a stark shift from 56% of voters expressing confidence in January 2022, according to the AJC’s polling.
The poll also found that a majority said Georgia’s voting law passed after the 2020 election didn’t have a significant impact.
The law, which limited drop boxes, shortened runoffs and eliminated paperless online absentee ballot applications, made no difference to 52% of poll respondents. About 22% said the law made voting easier, and 21% said it made voting harder.
