'BradCast' 5/18/2022: (Guest: Marilyn Marks on GOP officials breaching election system security; Primary results)
b"On today's 'BradCast':\\xa0 A round-up of results from Tuesday's primary elections in North Carolina, Kentucky, Oregon, Idaho and Pennsylvania, including some new, under-reported developments in key races. It was a good night for several progressive and Democratic candidates around the country, but a mixed night for the far-right candidates endorsed by Donald Trump. Scandal-prone Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) lost his GOP primary; but it won't necessarily affect the ongoing legal challenge to his eligibility under the U.S. Constitution's Insurrectionist Disqualification Clause. Pennsylvania's Republican US Senate primary is likely headed to a recount between far-right Trumpy celebrity TV doctor Mehmet Oz and just-as-Trumpy former hedgefund CEO Dave McCormack. Progressive Lt. Gov. John Fetterman easily won the Democratic primary. MARILYN MARKS of the Coalition for Good Governance explains the remarkable story of Republican election insiders in critical swing-states who, after the 2020 election, conspired with a cabal of election-denying Team Trumpers to breach secure election facilities and make illegal image copies of key voting system computers and components containing sensitive, proprietary software and voter databases in at least eight counties in four states. Marks details the nature of the shocking security breaches, indications that some GOP election officials are covering it all up, and the disturbing implications for election security in states across the country that are using the same or similar vulnerable computerized voting systems in the 2022 midterm elections."
