What's going on with vote-by-mail?

August 27, 2026·15m

President Trump has long railed against voting by mail, falsely claiming it is rampant with fraud. He signed an executive order earlier this year seeking to severely restrict the practice. The order is being challenged in courts, and with many developments in the case this week, we look at the status of vote-by-mail in the United States. This episode: voting correspondents Miles Parks and Hansi Lo Wang, and senior political correspondent Tamara Keith. This podcast was produced and edited by Casey Morell and Bria Suggs.
