The Inquiry

Will votes be safe in the US presidential election?


Listen Later

President Trump says opening up November’s election to more postal voting will make it more vulnerable to fraud and election interference.

Tanya Beckett examines President Trump’s claims and how the US postal service will cope with millions of ballots.

Producer: Sharon Hemans and Diane Richardson
