The NPR Politics Podcast · What's going on with vote-by-mail? · 27 Aug 2026 podcast

Why exactly or what was the argument against it? matched

I guess the big question I have here, Hanzi, is just for voters who and the many, many millions of voters were probably planning or are planning to vote by mail in this year's midterms. matched

What does all of this mean for them? matched

Also, Hanzi, you bring up this idea of the practical hurdles. matched

I guess I'm a little unclear on if the USPS even has the capabilities to be able to implement this order. matched

There's been so much talk about over the last few years uh about downsizing aspects of the USPS in terms of service deliveries and things like that. matched

This seems like a massive undertaking for an organization that has already been going through a lot of change. matched

And like you said, numerous times, that is a very big if. matched

I just want to note that for people. matched

All right. matched

More on vote by mail and listener questions in just a moment. matched

And we're back and moving into the section of the show, Hansie, where we are going to let the listeners ask you some questions. matched

We got one from Pat in Colorado, and Pat asks matched

I live in a state, Colorado, where mail in voting is the norm. matched

What will happen in such states if there is no further action on Trump's latest EO by the courts, or if they decide, per the Purcell rule, that it's too close to an election to do anything? matched

There is no way such states can go to in-person voting in mere weeks. matched

So a lot to unpack there, Hansie, but I guess we should start with the Purcell rule that Pat mentions. matched

Can you explain how that potentially could play into all of this court free? matched

Fighting. matched

election officials always talk about the fact that they are basically professional disaster mitigators, that they are planning for all the different scenarios. matched
