b"On today's 'BradCast':\\xa0 We open with news that Twitter has suspended our account, @TheBradBlog, for posting a 100 percent accurate tweet characterizing failures in Georgia's new touchscreen voting system. The tweet was posted two weeks ago, and was based on an email from Georgia's Secretary of State to all 159 counties regarding an error discovered in the state's new touchscreen voting systems used by every voter at the polls. The email from the Sec. of State was published in federal court filings as part of litigation challenging the use of those machines and seeking hand-marked paper ballots for voters instead.\\xa0 See BradBlog.com for the full story and documentation. Award-winning opinion journalist HEATHER 'DIGBY' PARTON of Salon and Digby's Hullabaloo, and author and political scientist DAVID FARIS of Roosevelt University and The Week join us for analysis, fact-checking and context on Wednesday night's refreshingly dull and normal(ish) Vice Presidential Debate in Salt Lake City, Utah between Vice President Mike Pence and Democratic V.P. nominee Kamala Harris. While the debate may have been dull -- save for the fly -- there was much to discuss about it in today's very lively show, including whether there will be any more debates at all this year."
