Another poll showed "that 67 percent of Republicans thought that the 2020 election was either 'probably ' or 'definitely' not free and fair."   Though 6/10 people accepted the election results, only 4/10 believed the election was fair.    And, although some Democrats did not feel confident in the process following President Donald Trump's 2016 win, most  did agree that votes were tallied accurately.    What does all of this mean?
