On today's 'BradCast':  It's the Super Tuesday elections in 16 states, and we've got a few reminders today of the stakes, the challenges ahead, and why it all matters. New Brennan Center study finds that the racial gap between white and black voters has grown since the U.S. Supreme Court gutted the heart of the Voting Rights Act in 2013, with the gap double in jurisdictions with a history of racial discrimination previously covered by the VRA. Republican 'voter fraud' fraudster groups have ramped up voter suppression, targeting registered voters in swing states for purging from the voting rolls. Allen Weisselberg, Donald Trump's Chief Financial Officer, pleaded guilty to perjury in Trump's massive bank, tax, and insurance fraud civil case. U.S. Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ) and his wife slapped with new obstruction charges in bribery scandal. So-called 'Christian' Liberty University fined an unprecedented $14 million for years-long coverup of sexual assault allegations on campus. Plus Desi Doyen has our latest 'Green News Report.'
