Poll of the week: A new Reuters/Ipsos poll finds that 55% of Republicans falsely believe Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 presidential election was the result of illegal voting or rigging. Additionally, 60% of Republicans incorrectly agree that the election was stolen from Republican Donald Trump.
These polls are the latest to indicate that Republicans mistakenly think that the 2020 election wasn't legitimate, when it clearly was.
What's the point: Republicans have been pushing legislation at the state level to make voting at least somewhat more difficult than it was for the 2020 election. This has come in the wake of polls showing many Republicans doubt the election result. It is unclear

Good journalists just report the facts without adding adjectives. The “mistakenly” and “incorrectly” is thought control. I wonder if they mistakenly believe it works?

I don't believe it is part of the job description for CNN or any other media to describe anyone's beliefs as false, or to say that there was no illegal voting or rigging. That is the job of the courts to decide, and one for which they have failed miserably. We all know that every court that has been asked to look at the election results has rejected the case as being filed too soon, filed too late, didn't have standing, or any other ridiculous excuse they could find to opt out of doing their job. What we don't know is why. Being threatened, lacking the courage to stand up for the truth, being blackmailed or extorted, or just plain agreeing ideologically with the result. Whatever the cause, justice has not been done. The election was clearly fraudulent and the left saying we can't believe our own eyes doesn't change reality.

The majority of Republicans have more than two brain cells to rub together. We saw the synchronized shutdown of supervised tallying in key areas on election night. No chain of custody of ballots meant no fair election. Period.

Polls mean nothing and are a complete waste of time and money. Who cares what the majority of a small sampling of people think? I used to think the actual votes mattered, but we now know they don't either. Only the side with the best and boldest crooks matters.

Typical lefwing pseudo-journalism. They just love adverbs:
A new Reuters/Ipsos poll finds that 55% of Republicans falsely believe Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 presidential election was the result of illegal voting or rigging.
FALSE: The poll may have found that 55% believe that, but it did not find that this belief was false.
"Additionally, 60% of Republicans incorrectly agree that the election was stolen ..."
OPINION, NOT FACT: Who says they are incorrect? Prove it.
"These polls are the latest to indicate that Republicans mistakenly think" that the 2020 election wasn't legitimate...
FALSE. The polls say nothing about whether they are mistaken.
"... when it clearly was."
FALSE. Clearly to whom? what is the basis for such an arrogant assertion?

Belongs in their Opinion section not Politics. Idiot Harry isn't even pretending to report news as a journalist. I did actually read the whole garbage piece and his "logic" is utterly broken. He has no idea how very basic logic even works or what a proper argument looks like. The entire thing is a how-to guide for straw man and other worthless rhetorical tactics used by college freshmen who aren't nearly as smart as they think they are.

The author is doing the bidding of the left. CCN is attempting to set the narrative that the foolish Republicans cannot accept the fact that the election was not stolen and that anyone questions the validity of the election are sore losers. radical Trumpsters and conspiracy nuts. They cannot allow the truth to start bubbling up to the surface for all to see because they know the proof of massive fraud is out there and their only strategy is to deny it, attack anyone who dares to question the results, and to bolster its power to continue to deceive the American people. The thing all these media outlets know is they must bury the truth and it has to stay buried.

So Harry, what is the rational thing to do assuming what you say is correct? Shame people for "mistakenly" believing the election was stolen? Don't you think it is important for the survival of the nation to demonstrate to those people that they are wrong? Do you think crushing them is the answer to achieving unity to hold the nation together?
You seem to be a bit shy on your account of recent history. Let me help refresh your memory. CNN and every major news outlet was telling the American people that the 2016 election was stolen by Trump colluding with Russia, ring a bell Harry? What did we do then Harry, shame the democrats and CNN? No we had the Mueller investigation spending three years and millions of dollars to investigate, and do you remember what the results were Harry? No collusion other than between Hillary and Russians to fabricate a totally false dirty dossier, she made it all up. Is it coming back to you now Harry?
Harry, at least pretend to believe what you are saying is true. A rational person would be calling for open investigations to dispel this mistaken notion. How supportive have you been, how supportive has CNN been of getting to the truth?
We should never never allow a prominent influential person to drive a wedge into our country with false accusations of a stolen election. That will be the end of us if we continue down this path. Anyone proven to have done so should suffer serious consequences regardless if their name is Trump, Giuliani, Powell, or, ready Harry....Hillary Clinton.
And Harry, which one of these is not like the others, who has been PROVEN to have fabricated fake fraudulent phony claims of a stolen election? Yea Harry, that would be Hillary. So lets get to the bottom of 2020 to the extent possible knowing that the FBI already shredded evidence. And let's unite in calling for the prosecution of Hillary Clinton for all of her crimes, can we count on you Harry?
Of course not you are just a shrill piece of trash willingly pulling on the loose thread that once sewed the nation together. .

And exactly why am I reading this bullcrap on Lucianne? I can go directly to CNN if I want fake news. My head is ready to explode. How many times in the first paragraph does this mindless moron write the word mistakenly? And as to Hillary Clinton's voters ACCEPTING the results? No one....NOT ONE filthy, deceitful, traitorous DEMOCRAT or the MEDIA accepted the election results of 2016. EVER. Not the CIA, State Department, FBI, you name it. Democrat state media was talking about impeaching DJT 17 minutes after his inaugural speech.
The 2020 election was stolen. Just ask John James. And every election they wish to steal from now, they will unless this fraud is exposed. And I don't see that happening any time soon.
Our beloved Lucianne.com is a haven from the fake news. We don't need to be reading this crap in our sanctuary.

Count me as one of them, though now we have to move on, and Trump is being destructive, as he won't. This is why we lost the Senate seats in Georgia and why we see the terrible terrible destruction our country now faces. As to fraud, just too strange that Trump won overwhelmingly.....until all those strange "after" votes started to dribble in and changed the tally JUST enough for Biden to "win." And Trump is STILL going after those he considers HIS enemies, while we really need him to rally the Party and move forward and make sure fraud never surfaces again---Trump convincing 70,000 Georgians their votes didn't count in that Senate race is why we have no majority in the Senate. He should put Country over his own anger.

Also when it comes to CCN the opposite is always the truth which means they know it was stolen.

I doubt that a mistake was involved in CNN's reporting on this issue. It was a bald-faced lie, and they knew it was a lie. Either that or they refuse to know the truth when it stares them in the face. The fact that CNN and others of their ilk are still trying so hard to convince everyone that the election was on the up and up is proof positive to me that they know full well that the election was stolen and will move heaven and earth to keep anyone from looking behind the curtain.

NO, as usual Communist News Network got it wrong yet again. Republicans are trying to ensure elections maintain some semblance of integrity.
Oh - my bad - someone give cnn a dictionary so they can look up the word integrity, a word with which I'm sure they are unfamiliar.
