Rasmussen poll finds majority trust electronic voting machines but significant minority fears remote manipulation

Rasmussen Reports (polling firm, right-leaning); poll of 982 likely voters, May 5-7, 2026

PJ Media's framing ("Voters Trust Electronic Voting Systems, but They Shouldn't") reflects editorial slant beyond poll findings. Bipartisan Policy Center separately reports 96% of voters will use paper-trail machines in 2026 and 49 states conduct post-election audits. FLAG: Single-source, right-leaning poll with potential framing bias; include with caution.
