The following is from Rasmussen Reports.
Most voters say they trust electronic voting systems currently used in US elections, but many also say they are concerned the machines could be manipulated remotely, according to a new Rasmussen Reports survey.
Fifty-nine percent (59%) of likely US voters say they trust electronic voting systems, including 31% who say they have a lot of trust in the machines. Thirty-eight percent (38%) say they distrust the systems, including 11% who say they do not trust them at all.
The poll also found widespread concern over reports that a Venezuelan engineer whistleblower testified in federal court about previously accessing US electronic election systems to interfere with election results without detection. Seventy percent (70%) say they are concerned about the reports, including 47% who say they are very concerned.
Election integrity remains a major issue ahead of the midterms. Eighty-four percent (84%) say it is important to prevent election cheating in the upcoming November elections, including 67% who say it is very important.
Views differ sharply by party. While 51% of Democrats say they have a lot of trust in electronic voting systems, just 16% of Republicans and 26% of unaffiliated voters say the same. Republicans are also the most likely to say they are concerned about reports of possible manipulation.
The survey of 982 likely US voters was conducted May 5-7, 2026. The margin of sampling error is plus or minus 3 percentage points.
