A recent poll by Rasmussen Reports reveals that a significant portion of likely voters in the United States are concerned about the potential impact of cheating in the upcoming 2024 presidential election.
According to the survey, conducted in mid-September 2024, 62 percent of respondents expressed varying levels of concern about the integrity of the election, highlighting ongoing anxieties about election security and fairness across the political spectrum.
The Rasmussen survey posed a direct question to voters: “How concerned are you that the outcome of the 2024 presidential election will be affected by cheating?” A majority of respondents—62 percent—stated that they were either very or somewhat concerned about cheating influencing the results of the election. Of these, 40 percent said they were “very” concerned, while 22 percent indicated they were “somewhat” concerned. On the other hand, 16 percent of voters said they were “not very concerned,” and 18 percent claimed they were “not at all concerned.”
When breaking down the data along party lines, Republicans appeared to be the most apprehensive about election integrity. Seventy-seven percent of Republican respondents expressed concern that cheating might sway the outcome in 2024, with many feeling that the stakes are especially high in this election cycle. Independents were also considerably worried, with 62 percent saying they were concerned. Interestingly, 50 percent of Democrats shared these fears, though a large portion of Democratic voters—47 percent—said they were either “not very concerned” or “not at all concerned.”
These findings reflect a divided public perception on the issue, particularly between political parties. While Republicans exhibit a much stronger belief that cheating could influence the election, a significant portion of Democrats and Independents also express concerns, suggesting that distrust in the election process is becoming more widespread.
The survey also explored how likely voters felt about potential cheating in the previous presidential election in 2020. Fifty-three percent of all respondents stated that they believe it is either “very” or “somewhat” likely that cheating impacted the outcome of that election. A closer look at the numbers shows that 71 percent of Republicans and 46 percent of Independents believe cheating influenced the 2020 results, compared to 42 percent of Democrats who held a similar view.
The lingering doubts about the 2020 election continue to fuel current concerns, especially among Republican voters, many of whom have remained skeptical about the results of that contest. Allegations of election fraud and irregularities were hotly debated following the 2020 race, and the effects of that dispute appear to have carried into voter attitudes about 2024.
To address these concerns, the Republican National Committee (RNC) and former President Donald Trump’s campaign have launched an extensive election integrity initiative ahead of the 2024 election. The program, which was rolled out earlier this year, is aimed at combating voter fraud and ensuring that all votes are accurately counted. It is being described as the “most extensive and monumental election integrity program in the nation’s history.”
The initiative includes several key features, such as a large-scale poll-watching program and a team of lawyers prepared to engage in legal battles over election disputes. The RNC has already been involved in 82 election-related lawsuits across 25 states during this election cycle, a reflection of the party’s aggressive approach to safeguarding the integrity of the upcoming election.
One of the major components of the RNC’s program is the “State Republican War Room,” a command center that will field reports from poll watchers and voters. The legal team is tasked with addressing any issues that arise, interpreting election code, and providing guidance on how problems should be escalated or resolved. This system will be in place from the start of early voting and will remain operational until after Election Day if necessary.
In a recent press release, RNC Chairman Michael Whatley and co-chair Lara Trump announced that the party had already surpassed its goal of recruiting 200,000 poll watchers, who will be stationed across the country to monitor voting and help prevent any irregularities.
Lara Trump, a prominent figure in the election integrity initiative, issued a stern warning to anyone considering engaging in illegal activities during the election. “We are sending a loud and clear message out there to anyone who thinks about cheating in an election. If you cheat in an election, we will find you, we will track you down, and we will prosecute you to the full extent of the law,” she stated.
As the 2024 election approaches, concerns over election integrity remain a significant issue for a broad cross-section of the electorate. The poll reveals that while Republicans express the highest levels of concern, many Independents and Democrats also harbor doubts about the potential for cheating to impact the outcome. With the RNC’s extensive efforts to ensure a fair process and the intense focus on legal battles over election integrity, the upcoming election is likely to be heavily scrutinized. Whether these efforts can ease concerns or further fuel skepticism remains to be seen.
As voting day draws closer, the debate over election security and integrity is expected to intensify, reflecting a political climate in which trust in the electoral process is becoming increasingly polarized.

RAPE, PILLAGE, PLUNDER; AMERICA YOU’VE BEEN HAD!
My fellow Americans, as a soldier/cop assigned to counter-terrorism/community security activities throughout most of my 30 year plus career I have been trying since 1980 to make each of you aware of the primary threats to your way of life. I have asked Americans over and over again what will it take for you to stand up and take back those rights given to you by God and promised to be respected/protected by our founding fathers when they drafted the Constitution?
Now, In consideration of all of the corruption/incompetence/treachery/etc., coming forth under the brightest light ever thanks to the Biden/Harris administration and their bosses/supporters here and around the world, I am just asking where most of you Americans stand in regards to your rights/roles/duties as citizens.
Seems the arrival of Donald J. Trump followed by Biden’s assumption of the Presidency has stripped us all naked to expose not only the sores on our bodies, but those on our souls as well!
The lessons learned I am passing on to you may give you a glimpse into the inner world of a government that devotes most of its time/energy ruling you versus serving/protecting you from the vantage point of one who served in government from the municipal through the federal level as a soldier and cop.
Most of the lessons learned (Note: After the Biden/Harris administration’s performance to date in dealing with hurricanes Helene and Milton I have only included those lessons learned most relevant to the current situation) were originally drafted in the late eighties as the prelude to a book titled: ‘Rape, Pillage, Plunder; America, You’ve Been Had!’ The Department of Defense denied permission to publish the book in that they classified an investigation detailed therein that named a gaggle of politicians and bureaucrats at every level of government as subjects. Three of those subjects went on to be elected to the office of President of the United States of America!
A SOLDIER/COP’S LESSONS LEARNED
*The end goal of the elites and their minions is not (nor ever has been) socialism, communism, fascism, or capitalism. The elites of the world and their minions have used all manner of ideologies, religions, terrorism, wars, etc., to drive the masses/peasants/serfs/whoever/whomever/whatever in one direction. That direction leads to one of the oldest forms of human control ever employed in the history of mankind. That form of human control is; “FEUDALISM!”
* The Seven C’s of Leadership according to a survey of Vietnam era ground combat veterans listed of the order of their importance to the veterans are; Candor, Competence, Consistency, Commitment, Courage, Compassion, and Courtesy. The reason the veterans chose “Candor” first and foremost, is because candor encompasses both omission and co-mission. To a combat veteran the lack of absolute candor, be it co-mission or omission, are equal sins! It has been my observation that, democrats are masters of co-mission while republicans are masters of omission!
*The American people are the most effectively lied to people in modern times thanks primarily to the political class, the bureaucracy, the media, and academia.
*The greatest threats to the American people are the corrupt and/or incompetent politicians/bureaucrats/academicians found at every level of government/academia, and the majority of the so-called media.
*The second greatest threat to the American people is that presented by radical Muslims bent on ridding the world of non-believers, installing Sharia as the only law of the land, and Islam as the world’s only religion. Note: For all of you non-Muslims who think you support Islam I strongly suggest you carefully study the game plan supposedly first presented by Mohammad (The Prophet) in early 600AD and the current socialization/cultural practices of the current Iranian government. I submit unless you are a sadistic male you will not enjoy life as a Muslim.
*Most of the politicians/bureaucrats/academicians/media types I have encountered during my years as a soldier and a cop I currently refer to as; self-serving, witless, corrupt, incompetent, cowards. Prior to retiring to the deep woods I referred to most of the before mentioned folks as self-serving, witless, corrupt, incompetent, cowardly, piss-ants. After retiring to the deep woods I came to know that piss-ants are neither self-serving nor witless, and certainly not cowards!
*The American Profession of Arms and our brothers/sisters in blue have failed to protect the American people from all of their enemies, both foreign and ‘most especially’ domestic.
*There are only two primary requirements to be a career soldier and/or cop in America. One must be smart enough to do the work and dumb enough to take the job.
*American soldiers and police officers must in addition to mastering all of their professionally mandated tasks learn to accomplish the same with at least one arm tied behind their backs, and their vision and hearing impaired 50% or more.
*After carefully watching the whole of the political class for many years I can say without reservation that most of the group will sell their souls and our bodies just to remain in power.
*Want to see what the United States of America will look like if the left /progressives take total control of the government? Take your pick, New York City, Baltimore, Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Oakland, Portland, or the complete packages; California, New York, Illinois, etc, etc, etc…..!
*If the so-called ‘progressive movement’ continues unchecked a number of able veterans/soldiers/cops are going to be presented with a challenge/decision. Are the American people worth another drop of our sweat and/or our blood?
*Arrogance coupled with ignorance equals stupidity.
Have a nice day,
Soldier/Cop,Retired
Of course we worry about that! The LibDems are really good at it!
