Behind the Poll

Former first lady Michelle Obama released a video in early August promoting more early voting and mail-in voting for the upcoming November elections.

“Fair and safe voting is going be more important than ever this year, and that’s why When We All Vote is fighting to expand vote-by-mail, in-person early voting and online voter registration,” she said. Michelle then urged viewers to spread the word “because this election couldn’t be more important.”

Critics fear more mail-in ballots will create more opportunity to commit election fraud.
