'BradCast' 2/7/2020 (Guest: Convicted GOP 2002 NH election phone-jammer Allen Raymond)
b"On today's 'BradCast':\\xa0 With media reports that online "Trump tolls" intentionally tried to jam up the Iowa Democratic Party's results hotline after Monday's caucus, we're joined for an exclusive interview with someone who knows a thing or two about such plots \\u2013 former Republican operative ALLEN RAYMOND, who was convicted with three others on criminal charges for mounting a similar phone jamming plot to tie up Democratic Get Out the Vote phone lines during the 2002 New Hampshire U.S. Senate race. Raymond, author of the book, "How to Rig an Election: Confessions of a Republican Operative," explains the phone jamming plot and offers insights into how political operatives justify such dirty tricks and illegalities when taking unsavory and potentially unlawful actions in order to win elections. Raymond also shares his thoughts on what has become of the Republican Party in recent years (he says he is now a registered Democrat), and what should concern American voters as the 2020 election progresses under a Republican Party headed by a vengeful, impeached President. Also today: AP announces it will not declare a winner after all in the chaotic Iowa Democratic Caucuses, but we do.
