On today’s BradCast<\/i><\/a> we cover what is known<\/a>, so far, about the unfolding terror attacks in Brussels this morning, even as they serve as yet another reminder of why elections matter<\/i>.<\/p>\n

With ISIS now claiming responsibility for the horrific attacks which killed dozens and injured hundreds in Belgium, including a number of Americans, Iraq war correspondent Michael Ware’s recent account of the creation of ISIS, thanks to the U.S.-launched war there over a decade ago, underscores how the choices we make at the ballot box reverberate for generations<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Vote wisely! If you are able to vote at all…Our coverage of the problems faced by voters merely trying to cast a vote during last week’s primaries continues today, with new reports<\/a> of Photo ID voter suppression<\/a> in NC, student voters illegally turned away<\/a> at Wheaton College in IL, and the continuing court battle<\/a> over thousands of voters turned away<\/a> from the polls in Adams County (though we have a small slice of encouraging news to report there today!)<\/p>\n

Then, we turn to new<\/i> problems and serious concerns beginning to emerge in primaries and caucuses underway today<\/i> in AZ and UT, including reports<\/a> of up to four-hour lines<\/a> and registration problems<\/a> in AZ and the Republican Party in UT laughing in the face of computer scientist warnings<\/a> by using some 60,000 of their voters as guinea pigs during in a live experiment with 100% unverifiable and easily hackable<\/a> Internet Voting<\/i> for tonight’s GOP caucuses! (What could possibly<\/i> go wrong<\/a>?)<\/p>\n
