'BradCast' 3/10/2020 (Voting should not be this difficult)
03-10-2020 (53.54 MB)
On today's 'BradCast': Voters in six states went to the polls on Tuesday for 2020 Democratic presidential primaries in Michigan, Washington, Missouri, Mississippi, North Dakota, and Idaho. Early reports show voters experienced numerous problems with unverifiable electronic voting systems that resulted in long lines and voters forced to leave without voting – as happened last week on Super Tuesday, particularly in Texas and California. Similar difficulties with voting are also on the horizon in states set to vote over the next several weeks. Also today: Venezuela announced that a massive warehouse fire destroyed nearly all of the nation's 50,000 touchscreen voting machines. St. Louis County, MO voters were turned away from the polls due to failed electronic pollbooks preventing voters from receiving ballots at all. The Mayor of Kansas City, MO, was blocked from voting after discovering he was no longer on the voting rolls. Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden cancelled upcoming campaign rallies in Ohio over coronavirus concerns. Many states may move to all vote-by-mail ballots by November, especially states that relay on germy touchscreens. In Georgia, elections officials must now notify voters immediately if their absentee ballots are at risk of being rejected due to perceived signature mismatch. GA's Republican Secretary of State tries to force counties to use his costly, unverifiable, failed touchscreen voting system rather than hand-marked paper ballots. In Texas, brand new touchscreen Ballot Marking Device voting systems used on Super Tuesday appear to have "lost" as many as 7,000 ballots. Plus Desi Doyen has our latest 'Green News Report'...
