Nicole Sandler of radioornot.com guest hosts the BradCast today with Ari Berman, senior writer at The Nation and author of Give Us the Ballot: The Modern Struggle for Voting Rights in America, who explains that many of the problems voters experienced Tuesday in Arizona are traced directly back to the Supreme Court's gutting of the Voting Rights Act. He wrote about that at The Nation.\xa0 Of course, he didn't absolve Maricopa County Recorder Helen Purcell for her decision to reduce the number of polling places from 200 to 60. That action and the chaos that ensued prompted attorney Adrian Fontes to challenge her for that position, which happens to be up for election in November. Mr. Fontes tells us about his decision in his first interview as a candidate.\xa0 Elections do have consequences.
