Summary
On today's 'BradCast': Donald Trump and Republicans have escalated their extraordinary corruption in plain sight as they work to rig this year's critical midterm elections. The right-leaning Virginia State Supreme Court delivered a big boost to Republicans, tossing out special election results on a technicality after the state's voters approved new U.S. House maps favorable to Democrats. The corrupted rightwing supermajority on the US Supreme Court, on the heels of gutting the Voting Rights Act, is now allowing several states to redraw their voting maps to eliminate Black-majority voting districts, in the middle of an active election after voting has already started. The rightwing SCOTUS justices violated their own precedents to do it. But there are things that pro-democracy Americans can do to fight back. Callers weigh in.
