Why We Vote Ep. 193: Byrne Wins Summary Judgment, LA Voter Rolls & Tina Peters on 60 Minutes

CannCon and Ashe in America dig into the ruling that granted Patrick Byrne summary judgment in Eric Coomer's defamation suit over The Deep Rig, then break down the 60 Minutes piece on Tina Peters. First up, the crew reads through the judge's opinion on actual malice, Joe Oltmann's story and why the court found Coomer hadn't met his burden. Then they play Martin Rodil describing the Venezuelan engineers, the Bahamas lab and the Mesa County images, and ask what that means for the election integrity groups who were told those images were never distributed. From there, the talk turns to the fallout in Venezuela and Colombia. Later, they look at the USCIS findings on LA County's voter roll sample and the DOJ letters to 18 other California counties. Before the close, they walk through the 60 Minutes segment on Tina Peters, Governor Polis's commutation of her sentence and why they call it a campaign ad for Phil Weiser and Jena Griswold. Pull up a chair, it's a good one.
