'BradCast' 6/10/2020 (Guest: Marilyn Marks of Coalition for Good Governance on GA's primary election meltdown)

On today's 'BradCast':  Georgia's primary election meltdown on Tuesday was a preventable disaster about which we've been warning for more than a year. MARILYN MARKS, of the non-partisan, non-profit Coalition for Good Governance, has been working through the courts for years to block the use of the new, unverifiable, touchscreen voting system implemented by GA Republican Sec. of State Brad Raffensperger in this year's critical Presidential election.  Raffensberger forced all counties to switch to the new, dangerous, wildly expensive, computerized voting systems, even strong-arming counties by threatening fines and legal action if they used cheaper hand-marked paper ballots instead. Voters were forced to wait in hours-long lines, with an untold number leaving without voting, as the system failed at every stage on Tuesday – from the electronic pollbook computers to the computerized touchscreen Ballot Marking Devices to the optical-scan computers in every precinct. The corporate media has focused a lot of coverage on Georgia's voting disaster the day after – but where were they when their coverage might have made a difference, before voters were disenfranchised? Marks warns these unverifiable systems are being implemented around the country, and offers concrete actions voters can take to protect against election meltdowns in November -- since the corporate media are unlikely to focus on it before the next election disaster.

NASCAR says it will ban the Confederate Flag from its events. Donald Trump ends up firmly on the wrong side of history – again – rejecting a movement to re-name 10 military bases named for Confederate traitors – insisting, without any apparent irony, that the bases are part of "a history of Winning, Victory, and Freedom."
