On today’s BradCast<\/i><\/a> we examine what the big Super Tuesday wins mean, and don’t, for both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, as well what the media is both misreporting and failing to report at all. [Audio linked below.<\/em>]\n

First, the GOP is now in full panic mode following Trump’s seven-state victory yesterday, as the DNC and corporate media use misleading numbers to describe Clinton’s own seven-state victory. In addition to the general horse-race<\/a> numbers, and the Republican drama, we examine how the MSM continues to ill-serve the public in their coverage of the Democratic race to date, specifically when it comes to the unpledged so-called “SuperDelegates”.<\/p>\n

We also look at a few more of the more than 2,000 reports<\/a> of voting problems that came into the non-partisan Election Protection coalition yesterday; More touch-screen trouble, this time in TN<\/a>; And what the hell happened<\/a> in Chelsea, MA, where former VA Gov. Jim Gilmore(!?!), who dropped out of the race weeks ago, crushed the Republican Primary competition, at least according to the paper-ballot optical-scan computers that tallied the results last night?…<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

The paper ballots in Chelsea were initially tabulated by the same type of op-scan systems used in states all over the country and shown to be capable of flipping elections without notice in the jaw-dropping finale<\/a> of HBO’s Emmy-nominated 2006 documentary Hacking Democracy<\/i><\/a>. Today, the numbers have now been “corrected” [PDF]<\/a> by the clerk’s office [Update: The link to the document at the Chelsea government site is now broken, so here’s a copy of the PDF<\/a> that had been linked there<\/em>] and, apparently<\/a>, chalked up to “the computer system that reported the results”. Ya don’t say. Was it anything like this similar failure<\/a> from Stoughton, WI in 2014?<\/p>\n

Also today: Listener email in response to my interview earlier this week<\/a> with Current Affairs<\/i> magazine editor Nathan J. Robinson, who had offered his persuasive case, based on his recent feature article<\/a>, for why Trump is likely to win the Presidency if Democrats fail to nominate Bernie Sanders. We look at the arguments from a number of you who disagreed with Robinson.<\/p>\n

Finally: A short, but refreshing break from politics as Scott Kelly, the American astronaut who has been in space for the past year, returns safely<\/a> to Earth with his Russian counterpart in furtherance of NASA’s planned manned missions to Mars…<\/p>\n
