Serial Productions, a New York Times company, is the maker of the blockbuster podcasts “Serial” and “S-Town,” with more than 600 million total downloads. “The Improvement Association” is reported and hosted by Zoe Chace, a producer at “This American Life.” She was previously a reporter for NPR’s “Planet Money” team, as well as an NPR producer. Is there really rampant election fraud? Who exactly is accusing them? And in small town politics, where rumors and allegations abound, how can you be sure who is telling the truth? Reporter Zoe Chace goes to Bladen County to find out what’s behind all this suspicion. These accusations have never been substantiated, but they persist. For at least a decade, people in this rural county have been pointing the finger at Horace Munn, the leader of a powerful Black advocacy group called the Bladen County Improvement Association PAC, accusing his group of bullying Black voters, tampering with ballots and stealing votes outright.
In one of the few cases in modern history where a congressional race was voided due to fraud, the results of an election were thrown out because of evidence the winner’s campaign had tampered with absentee ballots.īut according to some locals, the authorities got it all wrong. Two years ago, Bladen County, North Carolina, made national headlines. But in ‘The Improvement Association,’ you not only get a rollicking story of rampant suspicion in a small community, Zoe also gives us a way to think about where we are as a nation right now, and how we’ve become almost undone by accusations of fraud and stolen elections.” “The beauty of Zoe’s reporting,” says Julie Snyder, the executive editor of Serial Productions, “is that she tells political stories that are so entertaining, you forget they’re political stories. But then one of my sources called me and told me I had to get back there, because there was something much bigger and more ominous going on.” “At the time, what went down seemed small and contained, and I thought that was that. “I first stumbled on the weird voting politics of Bladen County several years ago, when I did a story about possible election fraud in the always-exciting race for county Soil and Water Commissioner,” says Chace.
