'BradCast' 8/11/2020 (Harris named as Biden's VEEP; Mystery uncounted votes in GA)
On today's 'BradCast':\xa0 Two mysteries solved in one show \u2013 the first is presumptive Democratic Presidential nominee Joe Biden's selection of California's U.S. Senator Kamala Harris as his Vice-Presidential nominee. Award-winning opinion journalist HEATHER 'DIGBY' PARTON of Salon and Digby's Hulaballoo joins us to discuss the big news and how it may play out among progressives and the electorate at large. The second mystery solved is in the key battleground state of Georgia, which is holding primary runoff elections today (with early reports of voting machine problems at the polls). JEANNE DUFORT of the Coalition for Good Governance explains how her bi-partisan citizens' panel solved the mystery of why potentially tens of thousands of perfectly legitimate votes were rejected and uncounted in the June primary by the state's new $100 million computerized tabulation system. What she found will shock you. Dufort reports that the Georgia State Elections Board proposed making important changes today that will help address the problems before the crucial November presidential election, but not completely, and not in time for today's primary runoff elections. Dufort discusses why the new fix is incomplete and what must now be done to ensure election integrity and accuracy in November. Plus Desi Doyen has our latest 'Green News Report'.
