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.

    We can definitely beat the shit out of 14% of Republicans, armed or not.

    They don’t look like the Dukes of Hazzard. More like Boss Hogg.

      Particularly given that I suspect for a decent chunk of that 14%, “action” means something more along the lines of “whinge on Facebook until I get uninvited to Thanksgiving”.
