Nearly half of Republicans say they won’t accept the results of the presidential election if their candidate loses, and some of them say they would “take action to overturn” the results, according to data released Tuesday.

About a quarter of Democrats said they wouldn’t accept the results if their candidate loses, and fewer Democrats than Republicans said they would “take action to overturn” the results.

The nonpartisan World Justice Project, which keeps an index of how strong the rule of law is in more than 100 countries, gathered the data as part of a larger study. The poll was conducted through online interviews with 1,046 American households between June 10 and June 18.

    The headline is clickbait and does not accurately describe the content of the article.

    This could be said about the vast majority of content published online today. This is why I’ve been trying to minimize my internet usage. So little of it is genuine.

      Yeah, and then you get all the people who go into the comment thread and start talking about all this shit which they ascertained by a headline.

      Nobody has the patience to figure out the details anymore. By the time you figure it out and try to talk about it nobody cares anymore, the next headline dropped.

      Yay the internet. I miss a lot of the pre-internet things.
