Do ballots need to be mailed and received by Election Day? In an excerpt from this week’s Insider episode, constitutional law professor and Supreme Court expert Steve Vladeck joins Preet Bharara and Joyce Vance to break down oral arguments in Watson v. RNC, an election case which has the potential to reshape the way ballots are counted.

In the full episode, Preet, Joyce, and Steve preview next week’s oral arguments in the birthright citizenship case. Plus, Preet and Joyce pay tribute to former FBI Director and special counsel Robert Mueller, who passed last week at age 81.
