You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for March 24, 2026. 

In this episode of American Ground Radio, we dig into a major question at the heart of election integrity: should ballots be counted if they arrive after Election Day? With new polling showing overwhelming bipartisan agreement that votes should be received—not just postmarked—by Election Day, we break down what’s at stake as the Supreme Court weighs in and why so many Americans see this as a simple issue of trust, transparency, and fairness.

We also take a closer look at the role of mail-in voting, the sharp drop in absentee ballots between recent election cycles, and the growing concern that extended counting periods undermine confidence in election outcomes. If Americans don’t trust the system, what happens to participation—and ultimately, democracy itself?

From there, we shift to Washington and beyond, covering key political developments, including a shake-up at Homeland Security, a Senate appointment in Oklahoma, and NASA’s ambitious (and expensive) new plan to build a base on the moon—raising questions about priorities, timelines, and global competition.

In our American Mamas segment, things take a lighter turn as we ask: do people judge you by the car you drive? The answers are honest, hilarious, and maybe a little too relatable.

Back on the serious side, we tackle cultural and political flashpoints—from companies fleeing high-regulation states to controversial legislation that has people asking whether common sense has left the building. Plus, a deeper conversation on morality, justice, and faith as we reflect on the life—and death—of a convicted criminal, and what it means to hold both accountability and grace at the same time.

We also dive into foreign policy, as questions swirl around potential negotiations with Iran. Who do you trust when the narratives don’t match—the U.S. president or a hostile regime? And what does it say about our political climate when some leaders appear to side against their own country?

And finally, a bright spot: a young hero steps up just one day after learning CPR, reminding us that even in the midst of political chaos, there are still stories that restore your faith in people.
