	Description:		What happens if your mail ballot is picked up by USPS… but never actually delivered? In this episode of The Margin — a midterm election coverage collaboration between The Electorette and URL Media — Jen Taylor-Skinner speaks with ACLU attorney Theresa J. Lee about the Trump administration’s executive order targeting mail-in voting and the ACLU’s legal challenge against it. Lee explains how the executive order could direct federal agencies to create citizenship verification lists using flawed federal databases, potentially impacting mail-in and absentee voting for eligible citizens across the country. The conversation explores: • the SAVE system vs. the SAVE Act • the constitutional questions surrounding the executive order • Section 11 of the Voting Rights Act • polling place closures and voter suppression • risks for disabled voters, military families, and overseas voters • and whether the courts are likely to block the order before the 2026 midterms Subscribe to The Electorette for smart, nuanced coverage of democracy, voting rights, and the 2026 elections. #VotingRights #ACLU #MailInVoting #Midterms2026 #Election2026 #Democracy #TheElectorette #TheMargin Learn more about your ad choices.
