b"On today's 'BradCast':\\xa0 A lot of good news/bad news for voters and voting rights, Democrats and Republicans as we head into the most crucial election in modern U.S. history. Former Republican National Committee chair Michael Steele has endorsed Joe Biden for President, joining hundreds of former GOP officials, governors, national security experts and more in rejecting Donald Trump as unfit for office.\\xa0 USA Today, which has never endorsed any Presidential nominee, does the same, citing Trump's 'shambolic response' to the coronavirus pandemic.\\xa0 Florida shatters records in its first day of Early Voting \\u2013 but does it reflect actual sustained voter enthusiasm, or fear of COVID and Postal Service slowdowns? Encouraging fund-raising totals for Democratic Senate candidates in comparison to their incumbent Republican opponents in many states come with several major caveats. Short-term good news for Pennsylvania voters -- the Republicans' stolen U.S. Supreme Court will allow counting of mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day to be counted up to three days afterwards. But SCOTUS intruding into a state court ruling on a state's constitutional "right to vote" is quite foreboding news that's about to made much worse with the addition of Amy Coney Barrett on the high court.
