    “Voters across the political spectrum said they’ve lied about their voting: 27% of Democrats acknowledged it, while 24% of Republicans and 20% of independents did so. The survey didn’t ask exactly how, why or to whom they’d lied.”

        Are you sure that they are in denial? I do not believe in the ignorant bigot anymore. They are just trying to balance punishment of those they don’t like vs personal gain.
