Only 40% of Republicans said they were very or somewhat confident in the accuracy of U.S. elections, according to a new Gallup poll, down from a high of 90% in 2006.

A coalition of Republican state election officials is urging states to act now to rebuild at least some trust before the 2024 presidential election.

“Our democracy cannot hold if its citizens do not trust that elections accurately reflect the will of the people,” Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, who oversaw the state’s tightly contested 2020 election, said in a joint statement with Idaho Secretary of State Phil McGrane, Kansas Secretary of State Scott Schwab, and Utah Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson.
