President Trump signed an executive order on Tuesday that aims to place federal restrictions on voting by mail ahead of this fall’s midterm elections. It comes as Congress considers legislation that could dramatically change voting in the U.S. and the Supreme Court appears ready to back additional vote-by-mail limits. We’ll talk with elections experts about potential challenges to the new executive order and how California is navigating the potential changes.

Guests:

Kim Alexander, president and founder, California Voter Foundation

Shirley Weber, California Secretary of State

Madison Aument, reporter, KVCR

Marc Berman, California State Assemblymember representing the 23rd District, which includes southern San Mateo County and northern Santa Clara County
