Non-KPFK ‘BradCast’: Special Election Coverage/ Primal Scream Edition…

Share article:

KPFK/Pacifica Radio is on fund drive of late, but with all the breaking election news this week, I couldn’t stand to not do a fresh BradCast for my syndicated network affiliates who deserve better than a “Best Of” on a week like this one, as Election Day draws near.

So, since it appears this year’s election is likely to be decided in the courts, before we even get to Election Day, here’s our non-KPFK “Special Election Coverage Edition” for the affiliates and for you, as produced here at The BRAD BLOG World News Headquarters, rather than at the radio station as it is usually done.

No guests, no callers, just me, lots of information and rants, and an occasionally thought or question from my producer Desi Doyen. Given all of that, and the news this week and last (particularly from SCOTUS), the result may be somewhere between a radio broadcast and a primal scream. But many of my shows seem to amount to that these days.

We covered, among other things, the new GAO report confirming Photo ID voting restrictions depress turnout of African-American and younger voters; SCOTUS overturning appellate courts to allow GOP voter suppression laws in NC and in OH, with a decision on WI’s voter suppression law not far behind (thanks to the federal judge who lied about it); Federal court striking down VA’s gerrymandered Congressional map (for now); the GOP Attorney General candidate in AR caught committing voter fraud and, a lot of unusually good (and very welcome!) news in our latest Green News Report!

Buckle up, and enjoy! (And please consider donating below to our efforts! Your help is very much needed right now!)
