b"On today's 'BradCast':\\xa0 We are determined to take back the REAL fight for Election Integrity from the MAGA 'Stop the Steal' loons and dupes who have no actual interest in transparent, verifiable elections, and will continue countering rightwing attempts to co-opt the idea of election integrity as part of Donald Trump's efforts to steal the 2020 election and future elections. In Pittsburgh, a crumbling bridge collapsed hours before President Biden's speech to promote the bipartisan infrastructure bill, while Fox News anchors lied about it. A federal judge revoked new Gulf of Mexico offshore oil and gas leases on the grounds that they were based on a flawed environmental assessment conducted by the Trump Administration. The ruling was a welcome victory for the Biden Administration, which had tried to cancel the lease sale, a fact omitted from corporate media headlines. The Justice Department's Election Threats Task Force arrested another Trump follower who threatened election officials. LYNN BERNSTEIN, founder of the non-partisan Transparent Elections NC in North Carolina, discusses the surge in threats and intimidation targeting election integrity advocates, as well. Bernstein has gone public with chilling incidents she has personally experienced, as her organization works to ensure that voting systems sold by ESS, the nation's largest computerized voting vendor, undergo a comprehensive independent source code review required by state law. Bernstein explains security concerns with ESS's unverifiable bar-code ballot systems, and why the nation's election security experts call for hand-marked paper ballots. Also today: The House January 6 Committee subpoenaed 14 people from 7 states who submitted fake elector certifications to the National Archives in a brazen election fraud scheme to advance Trump's plot to steal the 2020 election."
