About this episode
President Trump says opening up November’s election to more postal voting will make it more vulnerable to fraud and election interference. Many more Americans are expected to avoid going in person to polling stations because of the coronavirus pandemic and will rely on postal voting to ensure their voices are heard.
Tanya Beckett examines President Trump’s claims and how the US postal service will cope with millions of ballots.
