Defense Secretary Hegseth has ordered military commanders to conduct a one-day ‘stand down’ this month. This pause is to allow service members the opportunity to participate in voting during the midterm elections.
In King County, Washington, election officials are busy processing ballots from both service members and Americans living abroad. These ballots arrive through various channels including mail and email.
Verification and Counting of Ballots
Liz Landers explores the process involved in verifying and counting these ballots. Ensuring the accuracy and security of the ballots is a critical aspect of the process.
Landers is a correspondent for PBS News Hour, focusing on the White House and the Trump administration. Her experience includes roles such as the national security correspondent for Scripps News. There, she also reported on issues related to disinformation.
