b"On today's 'BradCast':\\xa0 A rogue Republican elections clerk in Adams Township, MI, has been fired and is now the subject of a criminal investigation after admitting to stealing her town's election tabulation computer. Township Clerk Stephanie Scott is a Republican QAnon loon who claims the 2020 election must have been fraudulent (even though Donald Trump won her county), yet refused to use any of the established, legal processes to investigate election security concerns, including simply hand-counting the paper ballots. Of course, there are real concerns about security vulnerabilities in computerized voting systems, and zero evidence that any were used to steal any election. But these QAnon loons haven't bothered to learn what those vulnerabilities actually are, or any of the legal means to address them, even though real election integrity and security advocates have been demonstrating how to do exactly that for 20 years. Then HEATHER 'DIGBY' PARTON of Salon and Hulaballoo discusses 'diva twins' Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) and their months-long obstruction of President Biden's extremely popular Build Back Better Act, amid growing concerns that their real goal is to undermine the entire Biden agenda, including potentially killing the bill entirely. She also explains the corporate media's failure to accurately inform the public of what remains in the wildly popular bill that has united support among the entire Congressional Democratic caucus, and the painfully disinformed, so-called 'progressives' who attack 'the Democrats' in general instead of Manchin and Sinema, who are directly responsible for gutting many of the bill's most popular provisions."
