'BradCast' 6/6/2017 (NSA docs, GA-06 and our election nightmares; Guest: Marilyn Marks)

b"The release of a leaked NSA analysis of alleged cyberattacks on voter registration systems and attempted intrusions into the computers of local elections officials just before last year's Presidential election underscores just about every warning regarding U.S. electronic voting, computer tabulation and voter registration systems that we've been yelling about for some 15 years, on both The BradCast and at BradBlog.com. On today's show, we break down the specific details found in the leaked NSA documents published by The Intercept on Monday, how they highlight a much broader problem with the U.S. electoral system, and what the answer, at long last, must ultimately be to address concerns about manipulated election results, no matter who the attempted culprit may be. On a not-at-all unrelated note, we are joined by Marilyn Marks of the Rocky Mountain Foundation to discuss her lawsuit demanding hand-counted paper ballots for all voters in the upcoming, highly contested, U.S. House Special Election runoff in Georgia's 6th Congressional District between Democrat Jon Ossoff and Republican Karen Handel.\\xa0 Marks, a former Republican mayoral candidate, details some of the many concerns spelled out in her lawsuit (set for a hearing on Wednesday), regarding the state of GA's 100% unverifiable Diebold touch-screen voting systems, and the known cyberhacks, e-pollbook thefts and computer tabulator failures that have ALREADY plagued the most expensive U.S. House race in history, where early voting is already underway in advance of the bellwether June 20 contest."
