Whose Vote Counts

Whose Vote Counts

Author: FRONTLINE February 18, 2021 Duration: 56:26
As America chooses its next president in the midst of a historic pandemic, FRONTLINE investigates whose vote counts — and whose might not. With Columbia Journalism Investigations and reporters from the USA TODAY NETWORK, New Yorker writer Jelani Cobb reports on allegations of voter disenfranchisement, how unfounded claims of extensive voter fraud entered the political mainstream, rhetoric and realities around mail-in ballots, and how the pandemic could impact turnout.

Ever wondered what it would be like to experience a powerful documentary with your eyes closed? FRONTLINE: Film Audio Track | PBS offers exactly that, transforming the series' acclaimed visual investigations into a purely auditory form.

It’s an intimate way to engage with some of the most crucial reporting of our time, where the voices of subjects, the tension in a reporter's question, and the pacing of the edit become the entire landscape. Presented by FRONTLINE, this audio track invites dedicated listeners and new audiences alike to immerse themselves in complex stories about politics, justice, and society. The result is a uniquely focused and personal listening experience that proves how much can be conveyed when you simply listen.
