US Midterms 2026Background
Wang's beat put him on one of the less visible election changes of 2026. NPR, where he covers voting, reported on 30 September that the Pentagon's Federal Voting Assistance Program had revised two overseas voting forms in late August through emergency approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act. The box it removed was the route to registration for citizens abroad WHO have never resided in the country, and it surfaced weeks after states had begun sending overseas ballots.
He is a correspondent on NPR's Politics and Policy Desk, covering voting, the Census Bureau and the US Postal Service. His reporting on the 2020 census earned awards from the Society of Professional Journalists and the American Statistical Association, as well as a National Headliner Award.
