It’s our last BradCast before the long holiday weekend, so, after an amazingly encouraging week or two of news, we head into the July 4th weekend today with a whole bunch of stories that we’ve been trying to clear off our desk for the past week or two, along with a bunch of breaking news as well today.
From Trump and Bernie-mentum to Jim Webb entering the 2016 race to the dead-enders in Kentucky still fighting the Supreme Court ruling on marriage to more green news than we can even fit into a single Green News Report with Desi Doyen.
Oh, and real-life killer robots on the rise — no, it’s not product placement for the new Terminator movie, but it sure sounds like it — before we finally end today’s show with an encouraging bang (courtesy of our friend D.R. Tucker at Washington Monthly)!
Please enjoy and have a happy (and safe) 4th of July!…

This apparently is the first case in Texas election history since the takeover of elections by electronic voting machines (Direct Recording Electronic, or DREs) –where a candidate actually requesting a recount of the ballot images – and not just having the computer re-run through its trade secret protected software calculations. Thank you Dr. Pressley!
Unlike Arizona, ballots are a public record, so if you’re going to steal election in Texas its best not to leave a public record behind like the ballots. In Arizona a recount can only happen if the results are within 1/10 of 1 percent. Worst in USA! Election fraud is easier to commit in Arizona because ballots are NOT a Public Record. Ballots are stored for 22 months by federal law and then the evidence is destroyed.
Folks, Dr. Pressley is fighting for every voter who ever voted without paper, or had a computer count his or her vote! The implications could be huge for voters in Texas.
I’ve learned from my 12 years of work in Election Integrity that elections without public accountability are nothing more than vote-counting in the dark, controlled by a government in the act of choosing itself and its cronies while picking our pockets. “We the People” must have elections that are 100% transparent, with a documented ‘chain-of-custody’ followed by robust election verification! Government can never be the sole verifier of its own secret elections. http://www.RiggedNoMore.com

Happy 4th to all BradCats !
Thanks Dredd. That must mean me.
I haven’t missed a Bradcast since the new format here. What a great source of information this blog has been over the years!

I’m assuming that was the same Dr.Pressley Brad interviewed a couple of days ago. Definitely a good cause!
