70% of Republicans say election wasn't 'free and fair' despite no evidence of fraud – study

The poll, carried out between 6 November and 9 November, surveyed 1,987 registered voters and had a 2% margin-of-error. The majority of calls were conducted after news outlets called the race for Biden.
Donald Trump and his supporters continue to allege such problems, without offering any substantiating evidence whatsoever.
On Monday the attorney general, William Barr, authorized federal prosecutors to investigate “substantial allegations†of voter irregularities, a decision which marked a sharp turn from Department of Justice policy and was made without citing any evidence of voter fraud.
White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany reiterated Trump’s refusal to concede and repeated accusations of voter fraud. Fox News, which has historically treated Trump more charitably, cut away from her press conference.
Several weeks ago, a Yahoo! News poll conducted by YouGov found that half of Trump supporters believed in QAnon, the false conspiracy theory that a group of Satan-worshipping Democrats, billionaires and celebrities control the world while carrying out pedophilia and human trafficking.
QAnon’s followers also believe that these people harvest a purportedly life-extending substance from the blood of exploited children.
