These accusations have never been substantiated, but they persist.
Reporter Zoe Chace went to Bladen County to investigate what’s really going on. From the makers of Serial and The New York Times, a five-part series about allegations of election fraud — and the powerful forces that fuel them.

“Deze podcast geeft een onwijs heldere inkijk in de problematiek van de Amerikaanse politiek! Een strijd die voorbij gaat aan idealen maar enkel om trots. Wat een zonde!
Diepgaande podcast die als je geen Amerika kenner bent wel lastig is om te volgen maar reuze interessant blijft!”
