Title: NEW POLL: Majority Oppose Federal Election Reform Provisions Found in HR1, Democrats Closely Divided

(Austin, TX—June 17, 2021) Convention of States Action, in partnership with The Trafalgar Group—one of America’s most accurate pollsters in 2016, 2018 and 2020—is releasing the results of a new national survey. Results were from surveys conducted June 6th thru June 8th of 1,000 or more likely 2022 election voters.

“Despite what leadership in Washington, DC thinks, the American people are not fools. Americans want more state and local control over how they vote, and are not interested in giving over that authority to an incompetent, out-of-control federal government obsessed with centralizing power,” said Mark Meckler, President of Convention of States Action. “And while Democrats on the Hill are pressuring leaders like Senator Manchin to support this outrageous measure, Democrat voters are at best deeply divided on this issue. Nobody can look at these numbers and claim HR1 is popular.”
