'BradCast' 5/20/2022 (Guests: Lynn Bernstein of Transparent Elections NC, John Brakey of AUDIT-USA on real election integrity)

On today's 'BradCast':\xa0 It's all about compare-and-contrast today, between longtime non-partisan election integrity observers who were locked out of public oversight of elections vs. longtime phony GOP fraudsters peddling partisan propaganda and disinformation about 'voter fraud'. First, some new debunking that further dismantles the ridiculous claims made in the recently-released propaganda documentary, '2000 Mules,' in addition to our previous debunking a few weeks ago. New reporting reveals that both the FBI and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) investigated and rejected the film's 'evidence' last year - - which the filmmakers omitted. This week, Georgia's state Board of Elections also rejected the fraudsters' claims, after the board conducted a separate investigation in which it verified the legitimacy and legality of individual absentee ballots delivered to drop-boxes. But in North Carolina, actual election integrity advocates were barred from publicly overseeing last Tuesday's midterm primary tabulation, in violation of state law, and threatened with arrest by Wake County election officials. LYNN BERNSTEIN, founder of Transparent Elections NC, and JOHN BRAKEY, the Director of AUDIT-USA, describe the bizarre, outrageous actions of Wake County's election officials and explain what they believe may be behind the officials' resistance to the important work of bearing witness to election processes on the public's behalf. They also discuss election transparency initiatives in other states, and how individuals in every county can get informed and engaged to ensure public oversight, integrity and transparency in our elections.
