On today’s BradCast<\/i><\/a>, have Bernie Sanders supporters been responsible in their attempts to oversee voting and vote tabulation during this year’s Democratic Primary?

From a sweltering<\/a> Los Angeles, on the first official day of Summer, I speak to some of the many claims and allegations that this year’s Democratic primary was “stolen” — either by Hillary Clinton, the DNC, or anybody else. Just a few thoughts on all of this from someone who has investigated and covered issues of Election Integrity and fraud and voter suppression and non-overseeable computer voting systems and tabulators, often in excruciating detail, for more than a decade at The BRAD BLOG<\/a>, on The BradCast<\/i>, and anywhere else that would have me. As part of today’s epic rant on all of this, I also offer some advice to those who believe California was “stolen”, and how state law allows them to actually<\/i> try and find out…if they really want to.<\/p>\n

Also today, the Sanders campaign says<\/a> supporters are answering his call from last week for fresh candidates to step up and run for office with progressive platforms at the local, state and federal level.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the NRA-funded Republicans continue to obstruct any<\/i> meaningful legislative action to try and help prevent gun violence following last week’s massacre in Orlando, as the U.S. Senate blocks attempts to bar suspected terrorists from buying weapons of mass destruction at local gun shops, gun shows and online. All of that is playing out, as Donald Trump, the GOP’s presumptive nominee for President, offers a particularly egregious lie in hopes of backpedaling<\/a> from his repeated statements last week that he would have liked to have seen club patrons with many more guns in that dark, crowded LGBT nightclub in Orlando. It’s a position that even the terrorist-enabling NRA no longer seems<\/i> to fully agree with.<\/p>\n

Finally, with firearm violence plummeting in California — while it remains steady nationally — the state legislature takes some action<\/a> on scientific gun research in the wake of the federal government’s effective twenty-year ban on same. And, before we close, with triple-digit temps shattering<\/a> records out here today, a few climate scientists remind us that their own research concerning global warming, finds it to be anything but a bleeping “hoax”…<\/p>\n
