'BradCast' 6/7/2018 (Election Failure and Fallout in California, Alabama, South Dakota)
b"On today's show: Continued coverage of the fallout following Tuesday's midterm primary elections in eight states, as the counting and canvassing moves forward and new reports of voting machine problems come to light. In Los Angeles, state and local elections officials are moving to address the still-unexplained "printing error" that resulted in the names of more than 118,000 registered voters being left off the printed rosters. Questions remain as to whether poll workers gave all affected voters provisional ballots, whether those provisional ballots will, in fact, be counted (or tossed for bad reasons), and if those ballots will be included in the county's 1% post-election manual "spot check", meant to determine whether hand-marked paper ballots were tallied as per voter intent by the county's computer tabulators. A new state law last year exempts both provisional ballots and late vote-by-mail ballots post-marked by Election Day from that mandated 1% "random audit." We've got a bit of exclusive news on that front today.\\xa0 Also in CA:\\xa0 a recall election successfully removed the state judge who gave a controversial, lenient sentence to a Stanford University athlete last year, following his sexual assault of an unconscious woman. CA Republicans successfully engineered a recall of a senator, stripping Democrats of their two-thirds supermajority in the state Senate. in South Dakota, remarkable fallout from a sherrif's race in one county underscores yet again that elections matter, and that so-called "Right-to-Work" states are anything but. In Alabama, Joseph Siegelman, son of former AL Gov. Don Siegelman (D), won the Democratic primary in the state Attorney General race. Depending on the results of a GOP primary runoff election, Siegelman may be running this November against the former AL Attorney General who was instrumental in imprisoning his father on apparently trumped-up bribery charges.
