"He doesn't have any authority": WA Sec. of State defends mail-in voting against Trump
Manage episode 502501730 series 3303135
President Trump has threatened to sign an Executive Order that would end mail-in voting in America.
His comments last week come at a time when the President is suggesting multiple ways to help Republicans hold onto Congress in the 2026 midterms. Nearly a third of national ballots came through the mail in the 2024 election. And the Washington State legislature required vote-by-mail starting in 2011.
Secretary of State Steve Hobbs talks to us about what President Trump can do and defends Washington State voting security.
