With just four days to go until Election Day, Vice President Harris and former President Donald Trump are set to hold back-to-back rallies tonight in Milwaukee, highlighting the state’s crucial role in this year’s election.

As the candidates rally, a new AP-NORC poll shows a divide in voter trust, especially between Republicans and Democrats. Seventy percent of Democrat voters say they have strong confidence that votes will be counted accurately at every level – local, state, and national. But only about half of Republicans feel the same about their local counts, and fewer trust statewide or national tallies.

There have been a lot of concerns over voter fraud, driving a divide. Sixty percent of Republicans see ineligible voting as a major issue, although no facts have shown that, especially around mail-in ballots and drop boxes. But a similar percentage of Democrats trust the methods.

Democrats are more focused on voter suppression tactics, which have reached all the way to the courts, with half seeing it as a major issue compared to about one-third of Republicans.
