Podcasts about mail in ballots

With less than 70 days until the midterm elections, the Supreme Court has lifted a temporary injunction on President Trump's executive order restricting mail-in ballots. Though the path is cleared for the new rules, several states are already seeking workarounds. Former Deputy Assistant Attorney General and U.C. Berkeley Law Professor John Yoo joins The Rundown to explain what these new rules mean and why he believes lower courts overstepped by limiting the order in the first place. Later, Kelsey Bennett, Family Advocate at Autism Families Alliance, discusses how federal efforts to combat autism care-related fraud are impacting the families who rely on those same programs.

The Trump Administration is 0 for 22 in its fight to get voter rolls access in all 50 states. And now -- to add to those losses -- a federal judge has told the United States Postal Service (USPS) to ignore the President's earlier executive order, which would have barred the postal service from delivering mail-in ballots in states that refused to turn over voter information to the Department of Justice. Greg gives us his legal takes.

Is Mitch McConnell officially out as the GOP's critical vote against the SAVE Act?

Hawk lays out why the executive branch has no constitutional role in running state or federal elections, why only a handful of red states have handed over raw voter data, and why no blue state and no court is going to force that information out. There is also the collapse of the reflecting pool prosecutions. Janine Pirro dismissed the criminal vandalism charges after admitting there was no evidence, and the more likely motive was self preservation, since misrepresenting evidence to a federal judge carries disbarment and prosecution risk for the prosecutor, not the president. With the 2026 midterm elections roughly three months out, Hawk looks ahead to the window between Election Day and January, mail in ballots, chain of custody, and what happens when a Justice Department staffed for loyalty instead of competence keeps losing.

Todd returns from the EAA AirVenture show in Oshkosh and turns to a renewed debate over election integrity. He examines reports that roughly 6,600 noncitizens were added to New Jersey's voter rolls through the state's motor-vehicle registration process, including the dispute between state officials and the software vendor over responsibility. Todd argues that the episode is evidence of serious vulnerabilities, challenges critics to address those concerns directly, and distinguishes evidence from conclusive proof. He also responds to changing media arguments about whether improper registrations occur and whether their scale matters. The conversation then moves to the SAVE America Act and its proposed safeguards: documentary proof of citizenship during registration, voter photo identification, and restrictions on mass-mailed ballots while preserving legitimate absentee voting. Drawing on remarks from Senator Mike Lee, Todd urges listeners to press Senate Republicans to act, contending that transparent, consistent safeguards are essential to restoring public confidence in American elections.

Tuesday, July 28. The seven stories you need to know today. Read today's briefing.

The heart of the video is the math. Passing anything through the filibuster takes 60 votes, and Hawk argues the SAVE Act, which would end mail-in voting nationwide, cannot get there. Several Republican senators oppose it, in part because millions of Republican voters use mail-in ballots. And Thune does not even have 51 Republican votes to nuke the filibuster, especially with a caucus that has cooled on Trump. Hawk lays out why the relationship has soured. Trump backed primary challengers against Bill Cassidy and John Cornyn and pushed Thom Tillis toward the exit, while Susan Collins faces a tough reelection and Lisa Murkowski keeps her distance. With Lindsey Graham gone and Mitch McConnell unseen for weeks, the working majority is thin. Hawk closes on the irony: a Democratic Senate could use a dead filibuster to add states and seats.

WORT 89.9FM Madison · Mail-In Ballots Face Legal, Postal Service Hurdles Alex Shur (photo by Nicholas Wootton) In Wisconsin, if you vote at the polls and make a mistake on your ballot, you can tell the poll worker and they'll get you a new ballot.  If you're voting by mail, you get one shot, if you make a mistake – or if the candidate you voted for drops out before Election Day – too bad, so sad.  That's according to the latest ruling from the Wisconsin Election Commission, whose on-again, off-again decisions on the issue of vote spoiling seem primed to spark yet another legal challenge.  Votebeat Wisconsin's Alexander Shur joined Monday Buzz host Brian Standing on July 27, 2026.

A reported New Jersey voter-registration error involving 6,600 noncitizens becomes the starting point for Todd's broader argument about election integrity and public trust. He distinguishes evidence from conclusive proof, contending that acknowledged registration failures are reason enough to investigate vulnerabilities instead of dismissing concerns outright. Todd also examines the dispute between state officials and a software vendor over who was responsible for approving the registrations, while clearly presenting his own suspicion that government mismanagement—or indifference—may be the deeper problem. Turning to Congress, he urges listeners to press senators to consider the SAVE America Act and discusses its proposed safeguards, including documentary proof of citizenship at registration, voter photo identification, and limits on mass-mailed ballots while preserving requested absentee voting. He also responds to media arguments about whether improper registrations are widespread and highlights Senator Mike Lee's case for restoring confidence in elections. Throughout, Todd frames tighter procedures as a common-sense defense of constitutional self-government.

Mary and Andrew start with a deeper dive into the Supreme Court's decision to allow the removal of Temporary Protected Status designations from over 330,000 immigrants from Haiti and Syria — a consequential ruling that affects TPS holders well beyond those who brought the case, leaving over a million people vulnerable to removal. As Andrew notes, this case was based on two claims: one being a statutory challenge that DHS didn't follow the procedures set out by Congress, and the other a constitutional equal protection claim that this TPS status removal was “motivated in part by race” — both of which were struck down 6-3. Then, a look at Trump's latest retribution efforts including the heavy sentences doled out over a protest that ended in a shooting outside the ICE Prairieland Detention Center inTexas one year ago; a felony indictment of former Olympian David Hearn for allegedly tearing part of the liner of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool; and former CIA Director John Brennan going on offense to challenge the DOJ's investigation into him. Plus, Mary and Andrew analyze the DOJ's response to a “show cause” order to unredact some of the Epstein files in a lawsuit filed by journalist Katie Phang.

As Andrew puts it, Chief Justice John Roberts is “cherry-picking.” He's flying solo in this short edition of Main Justice (more to come with Mary in the next episode). Andrew gives a quick briefing on several of the Supreme Court's most consequential end-of-term rulings, starting with the decision not to hear an appeal in the E. Jean Carroll case. Andrew also touches on the Court's decision to uphold a Mississippi law to allow mail-in ballots that are sent by Election Day to be counted but saves his deepest analysis for two similar cases with opposing decisions: the firings of Lisa Cook and Rebecca Slaughter. While the Court ruled that the Trump administration must have cause to dismiss Cook from the Federal Reserve, it allowed the government to fire Slaughter from the Federal Trade Commission, a decision which Andrew calls deeply flawed showing the conservative majority's support for a “unitary executive.”  And finally, Andrew breaks down the Court's narrow decision to uphold birthright citizenship, and why the tight 5-4 split is the story.

Don't Imbibe the Kool-Aid with Kim Kennedy – The voter marks selections on a computer, prints them at home, and returns them for processing. By law, everyone and anybody can use this to vote. This means cheating gets easier and easier. In addition, mail-in ballots are still being sent out. How many ways are there to cheat? Watch California, as it seems to be setting the standard...

Most Americans — across every party, gender, and demographic — agree that only US citizens should vote in US elections, yet here we are having to fight for something that sounds like the most obvious principle in the world. I sat down with Jack Tomczak from Americans for Citizen Voting to break down exactly how we got here: a constitutional loophole that could allow non-citizens to vote in congressional elections if a state legalizes non-citizen voting at the state legislative level. Jack's organization has already amended the constitutions of 15 states to close this door, and now they're pushing House Joint Resolution 152 through Congress to lock it in federally. With 90% of Americans on board — a number that makes even voter ID look controversial by comparison — this should be a layup, yet the politics are anything but simple. We dig into the LA mayor's race, the erosion of trust in our elections, and why the only honest reason to oppose this amendment is if you actually want non-citizens voting. Jack's optimistic it can get through Congress this summer, and honestly, after hearing his case, it's hard not to share that optimism.

Today's Headlines: SpaceX went public today raising $75 billion at a $1.77 trillion valuation, making Elon Musk humanity's first trillionaire. Moving on, Trump spent Thursday morning threatening to seize Iran's main oil hub Kharg Island, then hours later cancelled strikes because Iran "approved a draft agreement" to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and begin 60 days of nuclear negotiations — except Iran's own state media reported no agreement had been approved and that "the Americans kept changing their positions," though the stock market had its best day in two months anyway because the concept of a deal is apparently enough for Wall Street. In voter suppression news, the USPS quietly changed its rules to require states to hand over voter lists for anyone requesting mail-in ballots, with 23 states suing to stop it and the first judge already declining to block it, because of course they did. Trump dropped Bill Pulte as acting DNI after even Republicans said no, replacing him with Jay Clayton — Manhattan US Attorney, former SEC chair, and someone with no intelligence experience but a strong track record of loyalty to Trump. The DOJ is subpoenaing JP Morgan, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo to investigate alleged "debanking" of conservatives, with the primary evidence being that Trump lost his bank accounts after January 6th, and a DOJ staffer working on Traitor Fund legislation quietly asked to recuse himself because he was planning to file a claim from the same fund he's helping write. In Trump shenanigans news, his birthday UFC cage fight is set up on the White House lawn — with rain in the forecast — and workers will operate 20 hours a day year-round to build his gold arch in DC by the end of his term. And finally, Vance Boelter, the Minnesota man who posed as a police officer and murdered the Democratic speaker of Minnesota's state house, her husband, and their dog, pleaded guilty and received two consecutive life sentences plus 40 years.
