Tucker Carlson suggested that elections in the United States should be conducted similar to how to Iowa caucuses were conducted on Monday.

In a video posted to X, formerly Twitter, on Tuesday morning, Carlson questioned “what would happen” if the U.S. held elections the way they were conducted years ago with people voting in person and casting their ballots “manually.” Carlson pointed to the results of the Iowa caucus.

“What would happen if we held an election the way that Americans used to do it, just a few years ago?” Carlson asked. “We should try that sometime.”

An Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll conducted in December 2023 showed that 38% of adults in the U.S. were confident that the Republican Party would accurately count ballots, while 31% had little to no trust in the party accurately counting ballots.

On the other side, 44% of U.S. adults had confidence in the Democratic Party accurately counting ballots, while 32% had little to no trust. Meanwhile, 58% of Republicans expressed having little to no trust in the Democratic Party accurately counting the results of the election, with 38% of Independents also expressed having little to no confidence.

“Here’s how it would work,” Carlson continued. “Everyone would vote on the same day, in person. You would show up and present an ID, just like you do at the airport or the liquor store.”

Carlson continued to explain that voters would mark their preferred choice out of the candidates running “on a piece of paper.”

“You do it manually – there would be no electronic voting machines,” Carlson added. “There would be no drop boxes or absentee ballots. The poll workers would probably be people that you recognize from your own ZIP Code. They’d be your neighbors, they would not be employees of Mark Zuckerberg from California.”

In 2020, Facebook founder Zuckerberg announced the company would give paid time off to employees who volunteered to work as poll workers for the upcoming election, according to CBS News. The announcement came as part of an effort to address shortages of poll workers at voting locations across the nation.

Voters would be able to “choose” the names on the ballot, Carlson added. “Judges wouldn’t be allowed to tell you who you can vote for and who you can’t vote for. You’d get to decide.”

“And then, once you’ve voted, nobody could order a stop to the vote counting. That would be illegal,” Carlson explained. “So, you would know the results of the election in just a few hours, and you would feel pretty confident that they were pretty real. That’s how we used to do it in this country. What would happen if we tried it again?”

Carlson then pointed to how the Iowa caucuses were held, pointing out that it “felt very retro,” adding that the “results were interesting.”

Former President Donald Trump won the Iowa caucuses in a landslide, receiving more than 50% of the vote, while Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) received 21.2% of the vote, and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley received 19.1% of the vote.

After the results of the Iowa caucuses, entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy suspended his campaign and endorsed Trump.
