On today’s BradCast, we catch up with a number of breaking items, as well as items from the last several days (while we were otherwise covering the GOP and Democratic debates), even as voters in New Hampshire finally head to the polls for the First-in-the-Nation primary today.
Among the stories we hit today, as we await the completely unverified results from NH tonight…
- Democratic party officials “unilaterally” changed Iowa Caucus results;
- Why nobody should simply ‘trust’ unverified computer-tallied results that will be reported in NH (or anywhere else);
- How NH’s new Photo ID voting restriction law could affect turnout;
- Rubio-bot does it again;
- Another mysterious Republican dirty trick in NH;
- Jeb now wants to “eliminate” the Citizens United ruling;
- Voting Rights restored to 40,000 in MD;
- MD forced to ditch new touch-screen systems for paper ballots;
Plus much more — including our latest Green News Report with Desi Doyen!…

That storm of dirty tricks is taking us to da angerous place (BREAKING: The Supreme Court Just Gave The Finger To Obama’s Plan To Slow Climate Change).
The conservatives on the court took action to impair efforts to curb global warming..
Are we dedicated to the proposition of equality or undue and unnecessary complexity? In the NFL, there is one referee who seems to think he is a Judge on the Supreme Court of the United States. Instead of calling “Offside” or “Pass interference,” he goes into long explanations that contain “however” and makes one wonder if written opinions are next. In politics, paper ballots are cheaper and more reliable and make recounts not only possible but easy. Yet the State of Maryland is only going to use paper ballots because their touchscreens cannot handle extra pages. Reality has become its own satire.
