b"We have a few exclusives on today's action-packed 'BradCast':\\xa0 Adams County, IL State's Attorney Jon Barnard joins us to discuss the extraordinary order issued by a court on Thursday that mandates an extra week of voting begin next week, after ballot shortages across the county last Tuesday resulted in thousands of voters being turned away from the polls, unable to vote. Barnard sought and won the remedy from a local judge who himself had been kept from voting for hours. We also have\\xa0 exclusive comment from the County Clerk who gravely underestimated the number of ballots that would be needed, with an explanation as to why precincts were not simply ordered to photocopy blank ballots for use at the polls.\\xa0 Whether this unprecedented mandate to hold an extra week of 'Late Voting' will survive a challenge now filed by the Illinois Attorney General remains to be seen.
