About this episode

With the November general election less than two months away, and some mail ballots already going out, a legal fight over proposed new mail ballot rules is still playing out.

Wren Orey of the Bipartisan Policy Center explains what the Trump administration's possible changes would do, why election officials are raising concerns about making changes so close to Election Day, and what voters should know if they plan to vote by mail this fall.

We also break down common questions about absentee ballots, ballot tracking, deadlines, voter mistakes, and how to make a plan to ensure your vote is counted.
