'BradCast' 8/15/2019: (Guest: Marilyn Marks of Coalition for Good Governance)
On today's 'BradCast':\xa0 Big news out of Georgia \u2013 big enough that we dumped our previous plans for today's show to cover the breaking news today from a federal court in Atlanta, on a case that we have been following for years. U.S. District Court Judge Amy Totenberg ruled that Georgia's 100% unverifiable touchscreen voting systems, in use in the state since 2002, are not fit for U.S. elections and, indeed, are so insecure that they violate the constitutional right of voters to have their votes counted as cast. Plaintiff MARILYN MARKS of the Coalition for Good Governance, the driving force behind this broad and gruelingly long case, explains the ruling that is a clear and overdue -- if not yet total \u2013 victory. Judge Totenberg excoriated the state defendants, former Republican Sec. of State, now Governor Brian Kemp and current Sec. of State Brad Raffensberger, for lying to the court about facts and evidence in the case, and for disregarding the many long-proven security concerns about Georgia's unverifiable voting systems, and made clear those systems may not be used again in 2020 or thereafter, under any circumstances. The judge also ordered a review of the state's electronic pollbook systems, which failed and caused chaos and disenfranchisement during the November 2018 election.\xa0 Also today: Desi Doyen has the latest 'Green News Report' on global warming-fueled toxic algae blooms killing dogs in a number of states, Big Oil pushing into plastics manufacturing as gasoline demand declines, and Democratic-led states suing Trump's EPA to block his rollback of Obama's Clean Power Plan, and more...
