Rep. Ted Deutch (D-FL-19) joined me live on today’s BradCast on KPFK/Pacifica Radio to discuss two things:
1) Our exclusive from earlier this week on FL Gov. Rick Scott’s voter purge/DHS database deception (an issue which Deutch has been raising hell about for several weeks) and 2) His OCCUPIED Amendment to get corporate money the hell out of our electoral system, particularly in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court overturning Montana’s 100-year old anti-corruption law on Monday.
I was delighted to hear the Congressman was nearly as furious about both as I was. He also confirmed that nobody has been able to verify the “100 or so” alleged “non-citizens” that Scott says have been found on the rolls (out of 182,000 identified in the initial purge list and out of 11.2 million voters), and also that there are still three FL counties — Lee, Collier and Bay — where the Supervisors of Elections may still be carrying out the faulty and disenfranchising systematic purge.
My rant explaining Scott’s scam kicks off the show, before Deutch then joins us. Then, Desi Doyen joins us with the latest Green News Report and we take a couple of quick amusing calls.
Oh, and though I mentioned it at the top of the show, I forgot to reiterate it again at the end of the show, so I’ll do so now: FL Gov. Rick Scott, FL Secretary of State Ken Detzner and/or their spokesmen were invited to appear on the show to offer their response to our Monday exposé. They declined to even respond to the invitation.
