'BradCast' 8/4/2016: (Cybersecurity law expert Scott Shackelford on how U.S. might try to protect its vulnerable election system)
b"Following great news on voting rights from several state and federal courts over the past week, and sudden concerns from the Right, the Left and the corporate media about the possibility of stolen elections and the need to protect the nation's incredibly vulnerable voting and tabulation systems from attacks both foreign and domestic (all concerns we have warned about for more than a decade), the U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security is finally considering classifying our extraordinarily vulnerable electoral systems as 'critical infrastructure'. So what does that mean, exactly? Scott Shackelford, cybersecurity law and business expert from Indiana University and the Harvard Kennedy School's Belfter Center, joins us to explain and describe ways in which the U.S. might expand existing international agreements to keep domestic elections from being tampered with by foreign powers. Is any of that even possible - much less in time for the November election? Also today: why the right to vote is so important, whether you like to use it or not.\\xa0 Plus a vulnerable U.S. Senator, up for re-election this year, offers up some of the dumbest, most embarrassing, scientifically disproven and just out-and-out inaccurate arguments against taking action on climate change."
