Join us on today’s BradCast<\/i><\/a> for a deep dive down into the twisted rabbit hole of Team Trump’s recently manufactured claims that Canadian election vendor Dominion Voting Systems<\/a> and its Venezuelan-tied competitor Smartmatic<\/a> secretly joined forces as part of an enormous international conspiracy (also involving the late Hugo Chavez) to steal the 2020 election from Donald Trump on behalf of Joe Biden and the Democrats. We happen to know a bit about these claims, as they are directly based on one (or more) of my own exclusive investigate reports from a decade ago. [Audio link to show is posted below summary.<\/i>]\n

As it turns out, The BRAD BLOG<\/a> is actually responsible for the original kernel of truth that has become the pretend conspiracy now being used as the basis for Trump’s attempt to reverse the results of the 2020 election. These are the claims now being shared by Trump’s attorneys Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell<\/a>, not to mention by Trump himself.<\/p>\n

The initial story is based on a deeply reported, well-evidenced and independently verifiable 2010 investigative exclusive of mine<\/a> (also republished by HuffPo<\/a>) that Republicans, over the past week or so, have been citing<\/a> as the basis for their so-far evidence-free claims that Democrats teamed up with Dominion, Smartmatic — and also China and Cuba somehow — to commit “nationwide voter fraud” via computers (computers don’t commit voter fraud, voters do) to flip the results of the election. They claim this proves<\/i> that Donald Trump actually won<\/i> the election in a landslide — though, as even Tucker Carlson of Fox “News” found out<\/a>, they have no actual evidence to back any of it up.<\/p>\n

We share their actual claims, the original<\/i> basis for them (which they have absurdly bastardized to the point that it is barely recognizable) and how others in the party, like Arizona State GOP Chairwoman Kelli Ward, have run with the ball to misrepresent facts and manufacture claims in her scary scary new video<\/a> titled “DOMINION EXPOSED! This Video Should Terrify Every Single American”.<\/p>\n

We explain what all of these folks got right (almost nothing) and wrong (pretty much all of it…though Chavez is<\/i> tied in to the story — or was before he died seven years ago), and what the top two real<\/i> takeaways should be for both parties and all<\/i> American voters now that the GOP has finally decided to become concerned — or, at least, pretend to be — about the dangers of electronic voting and tabulation systems:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Simply because a computerized voting and tabulation system is vulnerable to fraud and manipulation does not mean that any particular election run on it has<\/i> been defrauded or manipulated, and;<\/li>\n
  2. Even if an election is 100% secure and accurate, if it can’t be known<\/i> by the public<\/i> to have been<\/i> 100% secure and accurate, it is every bit as much of a threat to confidence in our democratic system as it would be if the election had actually<\/i> been stolen on such a system.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The past few days should give you plenty of evidence for that<\/i>, at least!<\/p>\n

    There are too many details beyond that to include in a summary, so I hope you’ll just buckle up and tune in for the full rollicking story today on this one!<\/p>\n

    But, one other point worth noting here. While we’ve been reporting on all of these facts — with independently verifiable evidence — for nearly two decades now, it is for the above reasons that we have been inviting Republicans<\/a> of late to put their money where there mouths are. If they are actually<\/i> concerned about easily manipulated elections by Dominion (or any other<\/i> computer vote system vendor), then join us in demanding the use of only hand-marked<\/i> paper ballots for Georgia’s upcoming critical U.S. Senate runoffs in January (which will determine partisan control of the U.S. Senate). Those ballots should then be publicly hand-counted<\/i> on Election Night. It’s just two races with two candidates each, so it’s very<\/i> easy to count publicly in a single night, and it would result in Dominion being tossed out of elections entirely in the state of Georgia! How about it Repubs? You in? I’ll even drive out to Phoenix to make a new video about it with Kelli Ward if she joins the call. Why wouldn’t she?<\/p>\n

    Then, we’re joined today by George Washington University Law School professor <\/a>and Washington Post<\/i> contributor<\/a> RANDALL D. ELIASON<\/b>, for his explanation as to why he believes<\/a> it is appropriate to bring public pressure against high-profile law firms representing Trump in his evidence-free “voter fraud” cases, but not against attorneys and firms who choose to represent other despicable individuals like terrorists, child molesters and the KKK. That, after top national law firms recently withdrew<\/a> from Trump’s fraudulent “fraud” cases following public opprobrium encouraged<\/a> by the anti-Trump Republicans of the Lincoln Project. (Also, here’s that recent piece I mentioned from Eliason on Trump’s upcoming PardonPalooza!<\/a>)<\/p>\n

    Also today: The latest news from Georgia, Wisconsin and Michigan in Trump’s attempted coup; the one Republican Senator who is finally calling it out<\/a>; and the news that Florida’s Republican Senator Rick Scott and Donald Trump Jr., have now both tested positive for the coronavirus…<\/p>\n
