States across the U.S. are considering implementing a vote-by-mail system in response to COVID-19.

Vermont is one of several states considering implementing a vote-by-mail system in response to COVID-19. And it has fueled a rather spirited debate here. This hour, we take a look at both sides, and hear your comments and questions.

Our guests are:

  • Sen. Joe Benning, Senate minority leader representing the Caledonia District
  • Sen. Jeanette White, represents the Windham District and chairs the Senate Committee on Government Operations
  • Rep. Sarah Copeland Hanzas, represents the Orange-2 District and chairs the House Committee on Government Operations
  • Rep. Robert LaClair, represents the Washington-2 District and serves as a ranking member of the House Committee on Government Operations

Broadcast live at noon on Tuesday, June 2, 2020; rebroadcast at 7:00 p.m.

Bob Kinzel has been covering the Vermont Statehouse since 1981 — longer than any continuously serving member of the Legislature. With his wealth of institutional knowledge, he answers your questions on our series, "Ask Bob."
