‘Try That Sometime’: Tucker Carlson Says US Should Conduct Elections Similar to Iowa Caucus

👤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.”
