It’s investigative Election Integrity muckraking in East Coast/West Coast stereo!
My thanks to Thom for inviting me for this week’s longer-than-usual panel conversation on his Big Picture TV show, and to Palast for being the inimitably indefatigable Greg Palast!
Lively discussion includes everything from the secret GOP Crosscheck program to Greg’s assertion that it cost Democrats several key U.S. Senate races to the U.S. now ranked 26th in electoral integrity among world democracies (last among Western nations) to the Republicans’ long hard fight to return to Jim Crowism in TX and beyond…
[Thanks to Palast’s office for stitching both segments together in one easy-to-watch clip! I’ve replaced the original embed with that version above.]

Will be forever grateful to Mr Palast for the absolutely essential “Armed Madhouse”. As a young man already in the process of losing my faith in everything I was propagandized to support, “Armed Madhouse” was like a sledgehammer to the few remaining stones that still stood on top of one another.
Thank you for continuing to speak truth to power, Mr Palast. Here’s hoping you never stop.

Yes, Thom, they are both geniuses! So much respect for both you, Brad, and Greg. You do incredible work. I can’t believe you are still at it, but I’m super glad you are!! Our elections are a mess. One of these days, however, that just may change thanks to your hard work and diligence.
Great job, Brad. Hope Thom’s show is getting an audience.
Brad, you are a genius, and a persistent one at that (as is Greg). It just seems there are so many instances of blatant voter suppression going on throughout the U.S. that the lamestream media could really take this and run with it. But b/c they are controlled by big corporations, that will never happen. And the essential discontinuance of pre and exit polls in this country makes certain there is no way to raise the public’s hackles about blatant discrepancies b/c there is nothing to compare the reported vote totals to. No wonder we were ranked 26th, how did we ever do THAT well?
Intelligent people inhabit the mainstream media. They know what’s actually going on, but aren’t being forthright about it. They have access to raw exit poll results but don’t share them with the public, except when it occasionally spills out of media person’s mouth. It is ugly to accept, but they appear to be knowingly participating in election rigging.
That’s the best I’ve ever heard it layed out there. Thanks Brad, Greg and Thom for never giving up. There are going to be a whole lot of people making sure we know who saved our democracy if you guys and all the gals who have worked so hard to wake Americans up succeed.
It’s been a long war.
