(CNN)New polls released Thursday show just how far Republicans were willing to go to support then-President Donald Trump's unprecedented efforts to subvert the 2020 election. The research was conducted by the Democracy Fund, a nonpartisan foundation that studies voter attitudes toward democratic institutions and works to strengthen democracy in the US.
Their polls found that after the election, a supermajority of Republicans backed Trump's efforts to overturn the results: 86% said his legal challenges were appropriate, 79% said they weren't confident in the national vote tally, and 68% said Trump really won. Another 54% said Trump should never concede, and a plurality said state legislatures should override the actual popular vote!
This set the stage for Trump, GOP lawmakers, and right-wing media outlets to continue pushing the lie that the election was "rigged" - despite no proof
"I'm the MOST HONEST human being that GOD EVER created!" - Donald "the felon" Trump

Additionally, only 34% of Trump voters said they would accept Biden as the legitimate president, according to the post-election polls.

A plurality of Republicans said it would be appropriate for GOP state lawmakers to assign electoral votes to Trump in states that he lost -- which is exactly what Trump was pressuring state and local GOP officials to do during the presidential transition, as his defeat settled in.
Republican governors and state lawmakers ultimately refused Trump's demands, which set the stage for the Trump-backed riot at the Capitol while the electoral votes were being counted.
