JD Vance hopes that, at this time, his Trump-GOP political stake is the right one

Gauging what voters want 12 months from now is tricky. Sure, there’s a big push to be the strongest voice on Trumps false claims about voter fraud. Republican officials, from the chairman of the Oklahoma Republican Party to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.), Insists that ratification of fraud claims is a key component of a candidate’s profitability. A recent Washington Post-ABC News poll, though, asked respondents if they thought it was more important to prioritize making it easier to vote or, as Trump would demand, harder to vote illegally. By a 2-to-1 margin, people who favor the former are among a third of Republicans. Among self-identified conservatives, 4 in 10 thought it was more important to make it easier to vote legally. That’s not to suggest that accepting Trumps false rhetoric isn’t helpful, but it does mean the picture may be more complicated politically than it seems at first.
