UCSD study finds growing distrust in elections
from Midday Edition
A recent study from UC San Diego finds that fewer than half of Americans (49%) expect "free and fair" 2026 midterm elections. Respondents cited concerns around redistricting, mail voting, and immigration enforcement fears as some of the reasons for election skepticism. Researchers behind the study join Midday Edition Wednesday to dig more into the survey's findings, the reasons behind growing election distrust, and how concerns around artificial intelligence are playing into it. Guests: Thad Kousser, professor of political science, UC San Diego Lauren Prather, associate professor of political science, UC San Diego's School of Global Policy and Strategy; co-director, Center for Transparent and Trusted Elections
