On today’s BradCast, as a major, mysterious automated Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack took huge Internet sites like Twitter, Netflix and Amazon offline for hours today, Democrats and Republicans, including the President, continue to mislead the public about the vulnerability of our voting, tabulation and voter registration systems. [Audio link to show posted below.]
Just weeks ago, as you’ll recall, the U.S. Departments of Justice and Homeland Security were warning of the vulnerability of U.S. election systems to intrusion, manipulation and attack from outsiders (and all but ignoring the more direct threat from election insiders). Now, as Donald Trump has ramped up his claims that the election is being “rigged”, Democratic and Republican officials alike are claiming the opposite is true, that “there’s no way to rig an election in a country this big”. They are either misinformed or lying. Take your pick. Either way, they are misinforming the American people. I explain in detail on today’s show.
Speaking of disrupting the election…
Trump must lose by a landslide. He is an immediate threat to our democracy. To the fabric of our polity. To our future, our society and our children. But at the same time Hillary should not be able to exploit an anti-Trump landslide. The problem is that election results themselves do not communicate that information. In an effort to address that informational gap, I’ve created a Facebook page, NoTrump Hillary at , to serve as a channel for people to let Hillary know that their vote for her is not a vote in support of her. Once way to get clear information flowing from voters to Hillary.
