On today's 'BradCast':\xa0\xa0 The Trump Administration is no longer trying to prevent the spread of COVID-19, according to White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, who said on CNN, 'we aren't going to control the pandemic.'\xa0 The U.S. is hitting its third peak of infections, with new daily records for new infections now outpacing previous peaks.\xa0 The pandemic is getting worse, and\xa0 the President of the United States is the nation's top super-spreader via his maskless rallies around the country.\xa0 Vice President Mike Pence will continue campaign appearances, despite at least five of his inner staff circle tested positive. Trump says factual reporting on COVID data should be illegal. Talks between the White House and Democrats on a new emergency relief package for the American people have collapsed.\xa0 A ransomware attack has hit a Georgia county's elections infrastructure, knocking out key components. If a similar ransomware attack occurs on or before Election Day in any of the thousands of counties that rely on the Internet or networked computers for voting, it could generate absolute chaos.\xa0 Trump has indicated he hopes to exploit election chaos with the help of gerrymandered Republican-controlled state legislatures around the country, and the stolen U.S. Supreme Court with the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett in the U.S. Senate.\xa0 Legendary former Florida elections official, Ion Sancho (who oversaw the FL 2000 recount) explains his concerns about uncertified, unsecure wireless cellular modems installed on electronic voting machines used in 47 of Florida's 67 counties that could allow hackers to change election results undetectably. Sancho also offers solutions and specific actions that voters can take now to protect their own vote and get involved in helping to protect the integrity of the Nov. 3 election.
