单集文稿 ...

  • Austin Tice is an American journalist who disappeared over a decade ago while reporting in Syria.

  • And for years, we've been searching for him.

  • This looks like a secret passage.

  • I'm just pushing the door so he can get in.

  • Listen to Where is Austin Tice?

  • From NPR's Embedded and BBC Radio 4 on the NPR app or wherever you get your podcasts.

  • It's the NPR Politics Podcast.

  • I'm Tamara Keith.

  • I cover politics.

  • I'm Miles Parks.

  • I cover voting.

  • And I'm Mara Liason, senior national political correspondent.

  • This is a special episode of the podcast because we're recording it with a virtual audience.

  • Now we're going to answer questions from our virtual audience here.

  • We've also got questions that were sent in ahead of time.

  • And let me just say that out of those presubmitted questions,

  • the topic that probably came up the most was election integrity, including vote by mail.

  • So let's start there.

  • It is convenient that Miles Parks is a co-host of this podcast and also knows all the things.

  • Dot wrote in asking, will I be able to vote by mail and have it counted?
