'BradCast' 5/27/2020 (Trump's Twitter hoax and FairVote's David Daley on REDMAP 2.0)

On today's 'BradCast':  With the critical 2020 Presidential election only 160 days away, Republicans are launching desperate attempts to suppress certain voters, gaming the results of those who do manage to vote, and doing everything they can to distract from the fact that more than 100,000 Americans have died in three months thanks to Trump's disastrous, failed response to the coronavirus.

While Dems are finally mobilizing to roll back extreme partisan gerrymandering from 2010, Daley argues they need to move immediately to counter the GOP's newest ugly war on voters...
