'BradCast' 11/7/2018: (Midterm elections, reported results, and questions)
Some brakes -- some -- may now finally be applied to our ongoing Trump-induced national emergency, in the wake of his election two exhausting years ago. Despite shameful obstacles placed in front of voters across the country during Tuesday's midterms, Democrats managed to wrestle back control of the U.S. House of Representatives, by flipping at least 27 seats, as of airtime, with the results of several other races still unknown, according to unverified computer tabulation in all 50 states. At the same time, the GOP reportedly picked up several seats in the U.S. Senate, even while Democrats racked up some VERY important (and, occasionally stunning!) wins at the gubernatorial level. We review as many of the noteworthy contests for House, Senate and Governor and even important ballot initiatives today as can possibly be jammed into one show. Moreover, we survey several of the races where no winner has yet been declared by the media, and a number of contests with currently questionable outcomes, including in Florida, Georgia and elsewhere. Election Day may be over, but the fight for public oversight of results may just be beginning.\xa0 Oh, and as long predicted would happen if results didn't go Trump's way, today he fired Attorney General Jeff Sessions to begin making his move against Special Counsel Robert Mueller. For today at least, however, we won't allow Trump to hijack our news cycle...
