Episode notes
Dead Voter Claims Often Misinterpreted
- Jeff Andrews' remark sounded like he literally "spoke to large numbers" of dead people, but hosts interpret it as him relaying reports about mailed ballots to deceased voters.
- The hosts stress that receiving ballot mail doesn't equal fraudulent voting unless someone fills and returns the ballot.
Ballot Mailings Don't Prove Large-Scale Fraud
- Republican claims about widespread "dead voters" rely on isolated registration errors and mailings, not evidence of ballots cast fraudulently.
- Hosts note these talking points are amplified to justify restricting mail-in voting and limiting access.
Track State-Level Voting Changes
- Watch state-level actions because voting restrictions depend on state control, not just national rhetoric.
- Monitor 2026 midterm legislation where Republicans in control may push to eliminate mail-in ballots.
