Nearly two-thirds of voters fear that the upcoming midterm election results could be tampered with, according to an exclusive Daily Mail/Ipsos poll. The survey, which polled 1,021 U.S. adults, including 810 registered voters between October 30 and November 1, found that 63 percent of registered voters are concerned about the accuracy of the results. A quarter of voters expressed being 'very concerned.'

These concerns cut across party lines, with 68 percent of Democratic voters and 66 percent of Republican voters reporting worry, while 57 percent of independents share similar anxieties. Among those expressing strong concern, 29 percent of Democrats are 'very concerned,' compared to 24 percent of Republicans and 21 percent of independents. Independents showed the most confidence, with 42 percent stating they are not concerned.

The economy and the cost of living were cited by 45 percent of voters as the most significant factors influencing their vote. Corruption was the second most important issue at 16 percent, followed by democratic values and norms at 15 percent.

Voters also anticipate a shift in power, with 48 percent expecting Democrats to gain House seats and 43 percent anticipating Democratic gains in the Senate. Republicans are expected to gain seats by 24 percent in the House and 26 percent in the Senate.

Former President Donald Trump has intensified fears of election tampering through his focus on the Alaska Senate race. The contest between incumbent Republican Senator Dan Sullivan and former Democratic Congresswoman Mary Peltola is considered a toss-up that could determine control of the Senate. Trump has alleged that the inclusion of a third candidate, Daniel J. Sullivan Jr., on the ballot—a maneuver reportedly involving Democratic operatives seeking to siphon votes from the incumbent Republican—constitutes "voter fraud at the highest level."

Trump has called for Peltola and the other Sullivan to be prosecuted and suggested the election could be "redone" if the incumbent loses narrowly. The Department of Justice filed a lawsuit seeking to block or delay the certification of Alaska's Senate election results if the incumbent lost and the other Sullivan's vote total could have influenced the outcome. However, a federal judge dismissed the lawsuit, ruling there was no workable plan to rectify the situation without infringing ballot secrecy. The DOJ intends to appeal this ruling.
