b"On today's 'BradCast':\\xa0 President Biden announced the federal government will cover the salaries of school officials who chose to protect children, even if their paychecks are cut for defying bans on school mask mandates instituted by the authoritarian Republican governors of Texas and Florida. In California, Republicans know they can't win in a normal statewide election, so they have launched a recall election of progressive Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom with a circus of candidates who might become governor if voters approve the recall - - including rightwing, climate change-denying, misogynistic radio host Larry Elder and several others who oppose mask and vaccination mandates. But thanks to Newsom's statewide mask and vaccine mandates, California's rates of COVID infections, hospitalizations and deaths are falling once again. Voting system and cybersecurity experts are very concerned about California's election security after the recent theft and release on the open internet of election management software used by Dominion Voting Systems, allegedly by a far-right county clerk in Colorado during the MyPillow CEO's so-called 'Cyber Symposium' last week. Dominion's vulnerable touchscreens are used in several large jurisdictions in California.\\xa0 Cybersecurity and voting security expert PHILIP STARK of UC Berkeley explains what was revealed in the serious security breach, how and why it is like 'a blueprint for how to write malware' that could be used to tamper with elections, and what can now be done to protect election security, with the California recall election and several elections in other states fast approaching."
