Given all of that, and the news this week and last (particularly from SCOTUS), the result may be somewhere between a radio broadcast and a primal scream. But many of my shows seem to amount to that these days.<\/p>\n<p>We covered, among other things, the <a href=\"https:\/\/bradblog.com\/?p=10856\">new GAO report<\/a> confirming Photo ID voting restrictions depress turnout of African-American and younger voters; SCOTUS overturning appellate courts to allow GOP voter suppression laws <a href=\"https:\/\/bradblog.com\/?p=10857\">in NC<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/bradblog.com\/?p=10835\">in OH<\/a>, with a decision on <a href=\"https:\/\/bradblog.com\/?p=10843\">WI&#8217;s voter suppression law<\/a> not far behind (thanks to the <a href=\"https:\/\/bradblog.com\/?p=10850\">federal judge who lied about it<\/a>); Federal court <a href=\"https:\/\/bradblog.com\/?p=10854\">striking down VA&#8217;s gerrymandered Congressional map<\/a> (for now); the GOP Attorney General candidate in AR <a href=\"https:\/\/bradblog.com\/?p=10840\">caught committing voter fraud<\/a> and, a lot of unusually good (and very welcome!) news in <a href=\"https:\/\/bradblog.com\/?p=10855\">our latest <i>Green News Report<\/i><\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>Buckle up, and enjoy!
