About this episode
The episode discusses Missouri's gerrymandering issues and features an interview with Richard Von Glahn from People Not Politicians.
On today's 'BradCast': Missouri's midterm elections have been thrown into chaos after a federal judge issued a ruling defying both the Missouri state Supreme Court and the US Supreme Court, which had blocked the state from using the Republican state legislature's newly-gerrymandered maps in the November election. The man at the center of the state's insane, ongoing gerrymandering storm, plaintiff RICHARD VON GLAHN, Policy Director at non-profit People Not Politicians, explains how state Republican officials deployed various outrageous schemes to deny the will of the voters and entrench GOP power; the latest twists and turns in the legal battle; and much more. Also today: Noteworthy results from New Hampshire's primary elections. Global oil prices soared again due to the Iran War, as Donald Trump claimed gas prices won't fall until AFTER the midterm elections.
