Brad, did you come across this news yet?
Republican Rep. Allen West (a Tea Party guy) Wants Ballots, Voting Machines Impounded
http://www.businessweek....oting-machines-impounded

I discussed that a bit during the show audio linked above, and hope to write a bit about that here soon as noted.

Can you do a story on the Arizona post-election mess, with some 600,000 ballots uncounted state-wide? (combination of early votes & provisional ballots)
Some 400,000 left uncounted in just Maricopa county, largely from Hispanic areas. You know this totally Repub-controlled state will pull out all the stops to disqualify the provisional ballots (I believe they set the record back in 2008 for percentage of ballots rejected). But the votes could potentially overturn the Senate race and Sheriff Arpaio's win. (apparently they vote with paper ballots in AZ, not on EVM's)

Did you see the Mary Mattle ax meltdown?

Poor Van Jones

I hate the fascist Jon Husted. It makes me sick that he's in office another second. It's all making sense to me now after seeing he was a guest speaker at a "True the Vote" Rally. Despicable mongrels. He's a criminal & should be charged with his many abuses of office & what he put Democrat voters through. Had the nerve to be quoted as saying voting "went smoothly" and people turned out in record numbers. Well yeah, it was because of him & in spite of all his dirty tricks. It backfired. Will he get away with it? Secretary of suppression needs to go.

Even though Nate Silver has come out and said Colorado and not Ohio was the tipping state...did anyone else think we were watching the block of a heist in progress when Norah O'Donnell reported the Obama team was putting on their jackets and leaving the HQ at the same time that Karl Rove was having his meltdown on Fox?

Here's one good link for AZ mess:

bmaz might make for I good interview. I know him indirectly.

GO BOB FRITAKIS! YOU ARE A HERO!

Floridiot-

Man, that Mary Matalin clip is some of the ugliest, most deranged shit I've ever seen on TV.

For the antidote, check out the 1st two segments of last night's Daily Show(Wed. Nov 7). They're both about Bullshit Mountain. He really nails it. Just beautiful.

Brad,

Rachel Maddow did a very strong segment(it's just at the halfway mark of her show) tonight on the need to fix our elections. Though she still hasn't gotten to the machines, it was nevertheless excellent and encouraging. The way she was talking tonight sounded like getting our elections fixed could be something she's committed to addressing. We may have another ally. Hope so.

Sorry to hear about mess in AZ we wil,ahbe to keep heat on that, that sate is going blue like NM eventually., they are resisting. Sherriff Joes election should really be scrutinized becuase county runs elections and sheriff essentially runs county.

The reason the Democrats did not retake the House is not voting machines this time.

Democrats received half a million more votes than Republicans running for office in the House.

Gerrymandering, which I have warned about for several years, is the reason:

The reason that gerrymandering is wrong is because it is anti-voter, to the point that even when the voters overwhelmingly favor a particular outcome, they can be thwarted by gerrymandering.

In other words, the geographical design of the districts is such that it thwarts, and is contrary to, the will of the people at large. It is designed to preserve incumbency and thwart the political notion of accountability.

Furthermore, districts are carved out in strange shapes that result in districts passing through many counties, instead of being defined and bounded by one or more counties.

(Gerrymandering - Geological Deceit?). I have complained about it here on Brad Blog for years and years.

Brad,

You definitely deserve that nap.

Also a Pulitzer for your excellent reporting, a medal for your commitment to keeping America's elections honest and verifiable, a pat on the back for the long hours you devote to keeping the rest of us informed . . . um, let's see . . . what are the qualifications for sainthood again ? (Nah, never mind ... become a "Saint" and you can't ever say "f***" again.)

To put it more simply: THANK YOU for all your hard work !!!

Brad,
I saw a video where Anonymous put Karl Rove on notice; if there was any evidence of electronic manipulation vote count, they would see it and expose it. Do you think it possible that Anonymous could have undone a hack to steal Ohio and perhaps other states?

Great show, Brad!!!

And who are the artists singing This Little Light Of Mine? I gotta have that.

I found it. Knocks me out. You do, too.

Hey Brad, Check out the defeat of Prop 37 calling for big AG to start listing their man-made crap on label.

Yes, Monsanto and Pepsi invested over 46 million to flood the last week of before elections with fear based lies and misleading information to stop consumers from knowing what's in their food as well as what they eat when they dine out, but I do not think they won! These corps would no longer be able to use the word NATURAL to describe their untested unnecessary dangerous ingredients that uses people as lab animals in their grand experiment. People could make an informed decision on the man-made substances they Big Ag has added to the food they eat and to some degree, added into the food chain of the animal kingdom.

So what happened at the poles? Without questioning an electronic rigging of this unverifiable contest and taking into account the number of individuals that believed the Monsanto mainstream media and mail out propaganda campaign that this labeling was a BAD IDEA, I happen to come across a link to a story on Prison Planet in which the journalist stated that over 1 million votes have not been counted yet even though election officials declared 37 DID NOT PASS... Even though the over 1 million STILL UNCOUNTED VOTES are 3 times the margin of 37's defeat.

So what do you think these individuals are doing with these votes? How is it that the Secretary of State (i think?) can rule on the passage or defeat of a ballot measure with this many votes outstanding?

Lastly, while I don't think anyone who understands this sham electronic computer election system we have can trust any of the bullshit results, I don't think these big corporate parasites won 37 at all and stepped up their effort to ensure their victory in a twisted version of the Bush beat Gore style stop the re-count of votes because there's nothing we need to see here that matters Yo. THE TWIST IS THAT THESE VOTES WERE NEVER COUNTED THE 1ST TIME!

Brad,
