So Hanzi, as I mentioned, you have been monitoring every single legal brief and development in this USPS case.

But I actually want to start from the beginning with President Trump's executive order, which began this whole thing.
matched
He has long railed against vote by mail, falsely saying that it is rife with fraud.
matched
despite voting by mail numerous times himself.
matched
And in March of this year he signed an executive order regarding vote by mail.
matched
Can you explain what that executive order sought to do?
matched
A huge undertaking to be sure, but Tam, I mentioned that the president has been railing against mail voting for a while.
matched
What else can you tell us about the rationale behind this executive order?
matched
Yeah, and this is like a core tenant of many people in the far right, frankly, have been talking about this for years, wanting to eliminate mail voting, also wanting to move towards a single election day, essentially.
matched
Hanzi, this executive order though was almost immediately challenged in court.
