President Donald Trump on Tuesday signed an executive order to create a nationwide list of verified eligible voters and to restrict mail-in voting. This move swiftly drew legal threats from state Democratic officials ahead of this year’s midterm elections. The order, which voting law experts say violates the Constitution by attempting to seize states’ power to run elections, is the latest in a torrent of efforts from Trump to interfere with the way Americans vote based on his false allegations of fraud. The president has repeatedly lied about the outcome of the 2020 presidential campaign and the integrity of state-run elections, asserting again last week that he won “three times” and citing accusations of voter fraud that numerous audits, investigations, and courts have debunked. So how does mail voting play out in the post-pandemic world, and how has the practice evolved in Los Angeles County? Joining us to break down the process is Bob Page, registrar of voters for Orange County, and Vikram Amar, distinguished professor of law at UC Davis.
