On today’s BradCast, I’m back! My huge thanks to both Angie Coiro of In Deep Radio and Peter B. Collins of The Peter B. Collins Show for filling in for me while I was on the road for a few days!
After the bad news (for you) of my return is out of the way on today’s show, we get caught back up with late developments before next week’s big Primary Elections in California (and New Jersey, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Montana), as the polls for both the Primary and General elections continue to tighten; some Republicans continue to scramble for a Trump alternative; voters continue to try and oversee their own public elections; and listeners call in with their closing arguments for their favored candidate before next Tuesday’s last big primary day of the 2016 Presidential cycle.
While it’s “last call” before the California (and New Jersey, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota and Montana) Primary on June 7, and some voters are already facing confusion (and error) in the Golden State with CA’s absurdly confusing multi-party primary system. Documentary filmmaker and VideoTheVote.org co-creator John Wellington Ennis joins us to discuss efforts to recruit volunteers to oversee the polls in Los Angeles at SaveOurElections.org to document whatever happens next Tuesday.
Then, we go to the phones to hear from tons of listeners on who they will support next Tuesday (and beyond) and why. Lots of great calls with voices and opinions not usually heard, if ever, on our corporatized mainstream public airwaves!
Is California still using the gems system?
California never used any one system across the state. But, according to Verified Voting’s database, it looks like GEMS (the tabulator from the Diebold/Premier systems) is in use in about 17 counties.
sorry, but the CA is hardly as confusing as the stupid caucus systems. anyone truly confused by asking for a form really should not even try to vote
