On today's 'BradCast':  Top election security experts and computer scientists are urging Vice President Kamala Harris to seek hand recounts of the presidential election in key states to verify election totals, citing voting system breaches by Donald Trump allies in 2021 and 2022, and Georgia's refusal to apply recommended security patches to their election system. The scientists emphasize that they have 'no evidence' that voting systems were compromised, and that such audits should be routine - - particularly when massive software breaches are known and documented - - 'to set an example for security best practices in all elections.' Dr. DUNCAN BUELL of the University of South Carolina, a member of the group, explains the known breaches and other concerns, and ways to upgrade the nation's election security going forward. Satirical website The Onion purchased rightwing conspiracy monger Alex Jones' 'Infowars' on behalf of families of victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary massacre.
