What this episode covers
Michael dives into a major Supreme Court case that could reshape how mail-in ballots are counted across the United States. At the center of the debate: should ballots have to be received by Election Day, or is it fair to count those that arrive later but are postmarked on time? Michael is joined by former Pennsylvania Governor Mark Schweiker, who argues the issue is less about politics and more about federalism—who should control election rules: states or Washington? Together, they explore the potential fallout of a ruling that could impact more than a dozen states and possibly create two different election systems for federal and state races. Original air date 24 March 2026.
