Episode notes
Trump Denounces Mail-In Voting While Using It
- Donald Trump publicly denounces mail-in ballots as "crooked" while he voted by mail in a Florida special election.
- Michael Popok highlights this hypocrisy using Trump's State of the Union and other speeches demanding the SAVE Act and voter ID restrictions.
Voter Fraud Statistics Don't Justify Major Voting Changes
- Voter fraud in the U.S. is vanishingly rare and not outcome-determinative, with examples like eight fraudulent ballots in Georgia 2020.
- Popok uses the Georgia statistic to show fraud numbers don't justify sweeping voting restrictions.
SAVE Act Would Impose Stringent Citizenship Proof And Stall
- The SAVE Act pushes proof-of-citizenship and severe limits on mail voting beyond typical voter ID proposals.
- Popok explains requirements like birth certificates or passports would disenfranchise many voters and stall in the Senate due to filibuster.
