'BradCast' 8/2/2016: (ACLU's Julie Ebenstein on remarkable string of voting rights victories over past week)
Today on The BradCast, we're joined by litigator Julie Ebenstein, staff attorney with the ACLU Voting Rights Project, to discuss the remarkable string of encouraging voting rights victories in courts in six different states over just the past few days. The long-fought and long-sought wins in both federal and state courtrooms in NC, WI, KS, TX, ND and MI severely undercut Republican voter suppression laws that imposed Photo ID voting restrictions, cuts to early voting, restrictions on voter registration and much more. Also today: Hillary Clinton receives a bounce in both state and national polls following last week's Democratic Convention in Philadelphia and Donald Trump's subsequent attacks on the parents of a Muslim-American U.S. Army Captain, who is said to have given his life protecting fellow troops back in 2004 in Iraq. A number of high-ranking, elected GOPers have condemned Trump for his comments, but almost none of have un-endorsed the Republican nominee, much less announced an intention to keep Trump out of office by voting for Clinton. All that plus election-hating monkeys gone wild on today's BradCast!
