INN World Report interviews Brad Friedman, creator of BRAD BLOG

Friedman: 'The American Center for Voting Rights is a scam from top to bottom'

Share article:

Guest blogged by David Edwards

Brad Friedman, creator of BRAD BLOG, appeared this week on I.N.N. World Report in a segment titled “the ACVR another GOP scam?”.

Host, Lenny Charles, interviewed Brad about his series of articles reporting on the phony voting rights group, American Center for Voting Right (ACVR). Brad explained how ACVR was created by high-level GOP operatives and then appeared only days later to testify at a Republican hearing designed to cover up election fraud at the hands of Republicans in Ohio.

In his closing remarks, Brad focused on protecting citizen’s voting rights and repairing faults in our election systems…

We need to demand transparency in our election system. If we are going to use computerized voting, we need to have a paper ballot created with every vote cast. Period. So that we can go back and recount these votes and make sure that our elections are accurate.

We have to stop using secret software counting votes which are run by companies who are huge supporters of the Republican party who don’t release their source code. We have no idea how our votes are being counted, if they are being being counted, or if the count is accurate in any way.

We need to stand up for democracy in America. It’s incredible that America needs a pro-democracy movement now but it does. We need to make noise because the corporate mainstream media is ignoring the issue and it’s incredibly damaging to our democracy.

For more information on the “non-partisan” tax-exempt ACVR scam and the snakeoil salesmen who invented it, Bush/Cheney ’04 National General Counsel Mark F. “Thor” Hearne and RNC Communications Director Jim Dyke, please see BRAD BLOG’s full Special Coverage of the “American Center for Voting Rights” at https://BradBlog.com/ACVR.

    Brad – no offense intended, but that still image of you looks like "Data" from ST:TNG…

    The video plays a lot better, tho.

    😉

    (BTW – good job)

    Please. He is way hotter than Data. Not to mention he’s not a robot. In any way. Jeez. Do not insult the Fried-man! I shall have to challenge you to a duel or something.

    Hey, I like Data as well as Brad – no insult meant to either. And the video definitely removes any of the haziness from the still.

    …still…

    …I thought it was funny. 🙂

    (Duel? …er, kumquats at 20 paces?)

    Hey — I’m quite fond of Data – Brent Spiner’s a nice looking guy.

    I didn’t see it as an insult!

    I try to catch INN every day. It comes on right before Democracy Now!, so it’s like a two-fer.

    Brad’s interview was great. Very informative and concise. I wish everyone in the country could see it.

    Hay, maybe that’s a campaign we can make some headway on. Perhaps if the 6 or 7 squad urge Carter to withdraw from the Carter/Baker Commission we could sink the whole thing? Maybe we should float this by Brad.

    Nice work. I’m still waiting to find out what the HELL is up with Jimmy Carter though. Has he figured out he’s being used yet? Probably the best thing he can do is withdraw and pull his name, thereby removing any perceived legitimacy from the upcoming report.
