An adoring puppy, waiting for you at the gate the news continues On Cnn with Wolf Blitzer in the situation he shouldnt bet be see Tomorrow Property now, Breaking News, cnn uncovers very disturbing and very graphic past comments made by the republican nominee for governor North Carolina, mark rn. Stand by for details on the Exclusive Reporting by Cnns Kfile also this hour, Oprah Winfrey is using her Star Power to help Kamala Harris in the key Battleground State of michigan, hoping to appeal to a broad range of voters and mobilize Black Women who support this considered crucial to the Harris Campaign. Plus a new round of president Ial Polls shows that Harris Trump Race remains Neck And Neck with 47 days to go. Ill ask the former democrat turned independent senator Joe Manchin about the state of the Campaign Welcome to our viewers here in the United States and around the world. Im Wolf Blitzer. Youre in the Situation Room the skis, cnn Breaking News. We begin with cnns exclusive breaking story about North Carolina reports public in Mark Robinson, the socially conservative candidate for governor and current Lieutenant Governor known for controversy. And now at the center of these very disturbing new revelations we want to warn you that some other report you are about to hear includes graphic comments, were joined by Andrew Kaczynski is the Senior Editor of Cnns Kfile, andrew, tell us what you and your team have uncovered wolf, my Colleague Emstek and i found a series of highly disturbing posts made on the Message Board of a pornographic website, more than a decade ago. And we traced them directly to Mark Robinson. We did Interview Robinson Today and he categorically denies making those posts. Ill get to that in one moment. But first, i want to want walk people through just a few of them. Take a look at one right here in this post, robinson called himself a quote black nazi. And when discussing then President Barak Obama in 2012, reading quote, i take a hitler over any of this. Thats in washington, right now. It even goes beyond that wolf, another sure disturbing post from robinson defended slavery, writing quote, slavery is not bad. And i wish they would bring slavery back. I would certainly buy a few all of these comments and many others that you can read On Cnn. Com were made on the Message Board of a Porn Website called Nude Africa. And wolf. In addition, chin to those posts, he also expressed views on Nude Africa that sharply contradict policies he has as a socially conservative candidate for governor, for example, he has been vocally antitransgender, but look at What Robinson wrote on the porn Message Board a decade ago, running that he liked, Quote Watching Trend and as gender porn, adding quote, thats effing hot while calling himself a quote, prv. In another thread that was discussing this story of a woman who said she was raped by her Taxi Driver while drunk. Robinson wrote quote, and the moral of this story dont eff, a drunk white andrew. So he, he, he wrote that what some years ago, several years ago when he was an ordinary citizen before he became the Lieutenant Governor, before he got into politics. In fact how do you know its him . Well, wolf, we found that robinson consistently used that same username. Many soldier that he used on Newt Africa in all of his Social Media. You can see it on Pinterest Black Planet youtube. He even previously used it as his twitter handle. His full name was actually also listed on Nude Africa and the email he found that he used on Nude Africa. He used on several other websites. Now, the biographical data from multiple sides and Nude Africa using many soldier matches, robinson exactly his date of birth, his hometown. The fact that his mom worked at an hbcu, even that his favorite episode of the Twilight Flight Zone was number 20 22. So what does her robinson say about all this now so robinson is calling It Trash and he says its not him. We asked his campaign for comment. We gave them 48 hours to respond to that deadline. Was this morning and thats when Lieutenant Governor robinson agreed to do a brief interview with us here is just a part of that Lieutenant Governor robinson. Thank you so much for being willing to talk to us. I think well just jump right into it. Do you deny that this account is you well, first off, let me say thank you so much for allowing me to come here and clearly here, we absolutely do. I do. This is not us. These are not, our words and this is not anything that is characteristic of me nor has it ever has it ever been the people here of North Carolina . Know i have been completely transparent about my history. All the wards and we put them all out. We let folks know about it. But the folks here also know my character. They know who i am, they know my voice, so to speak. This is not my voice is not things that we would ever say or even think. So. Absolutely. We do. How do you explain all of the matching details on this profile . The profile on Nude Africa lists your full name as Mark Robinson, the email listed on account is an email that you use you have used elsewhere on the internet, including with your photo. You have used that name many soldier on multiple Social Media accounts including twitter, pinterest, black planet, and youtube. How can you deny with all of these matching details that this is you . Look im not going to get into a new sheriff how some ai manufactured this, all these salacious tabloid lives. But i can tell you this. Theres been over 1 Million spent on me through ai by Billionaire Son whos bound and determined to destroy me. But things that people can do with the internet now this incredible, but what i can tell you is this, again these are not my words. This is simply Tabloid Trash being used as a distraction from the substantive issues that the people of this state are facing. We have addressed it. We have said its not true and we wish we could move on and get busy with the business of the people of the state okay. Well, these posts, they do take place over a fiveyear period from 2008 to 2000 2013. You mentioned ai. Are you saying that somebody was somehow manufacturing biographical details to exactly match you using your username i have no idea how this was going. I have absolutely no idea how it was done and i have five weeks left in this campaign to focus on the substantive issues that nor karelinas price. I did not have time for Tabloid Trash. There have been rumors that some of your Campaign Staff have have quit. Can you tell us if thats true or not . Absolutely not. And we are not getting out of this race. There are people who are counting on lets to win this race because again, we dont want a governor whos going to be a person that cant be counted on to tell The Truth. And i can assure you my opponent has been taken to court for not telling The Truth in campaigns and hes been completely dishonest. It is ads against me. Its cap is so desperate to destroyers. Its just like Clarence Thomas that years ago, this is a Hightech Lynching and, you know, back long years ago, they used to use ropes, nauta, using table and Lieutenant Governor robinson released a Video On X shortly after our interview underscoring that he still plans to stay in the race. Wolf, Andrew Kaczynski thank you so much for your truly excellent, excellent reporting. I want to break all this down with our political experts right now. Nia malika henderson, your reaction, first of all, to this shocking report lets suppose its not that shocking. I mean, if you know anything about Mark Robinson, he has said inflammatory things. I was talking to a source a couple of weeks they go and they mentioned a porn in this was even before this story was out. So he is somebody who has had a bit of a checkered past even though Donald Trump has called him Martin Luther King on steroids. We understand now that Mark Robinson himself isnt a fan of Martin Luther King, is not a fan of the civil rights movement, is a fan of slavery would by slayings, i guess its slavery. Was still legal. He is going to lose this race, but thats been obvious for months and months and months. I think the only question now is, do republicans start to cut him loose . Trump is there on saturday . I understand. He hasnt really wanted to appear with Mark Robinson. There is a fear now that hes going to drag trump down, just threw association and we know that the harris can campaign is focus like a laser on North Carolina electoral votes. Yeah, good point. Shermichael singleton is with us as Well Shermichael does robinson from your perspective, need to step aside from the Governors Race right now or even potentially step aside as the current Lieutenant Governor of North Carolina i mean, wolf, i believe he has until 11 59 to make that determination good. Traditional conservative, who i think would have been a far better candidate for republicans in the state, but also for Donald Trump who wants to win the state. I think Kamala Harris is doing a smart tactical job of spending time there because the result of that is that it forces the Trump Campaign to have to spend resources there when they could be spending those resources in a place like pennsylvania or one of the other more critical Battleground States i think theres also concern here, wolf that he could impact negatively some of the other downballot candidates. And i think republicans in the state have to move really quickly to make a determination of whether or not he should stay as their nominee or if they should try to push him out for someone else. Yeah. Lets see what they do. Actually, allison, what do you make of this very, very disturbing report . Well, i agree with nia malika. Im not if this is true, i am not surprised because Mark Robinson has said homophobic, transphobic, antiwoman antiblack an antisemitic things for some time the thing that is so troubling and if he doesnt realize this, is that hes saying that he would be a black nazis. Nazis did not like black people. They thought that we poisoned the pure white race. He would be a slave if slavery was still legal. So the Self Hate almost at it sounds like he is battling with is quite troubling particularly since he is a public official but also the hypocrisy, how transphobic and homophobic he has been. Theres nothing wrong with being part of the Trans Community are loving someone that is trans. But he is so antitrans that just the hypocrisy that is there. And then to make a joke about rape. And this climate, its just disgusting. And i hear sure michael, that there was a better alternative, but thats not what the republicans in North Carolina decided. They decided they wanted Mark Robinson knowing that he says these type of things. And so yet again, we have to ask ourselves what type of republican party are we dealing with . And this is someone that Donald Trump said was the Martin Luther King. I think not. Ana navarro, access to hear how you see it when i heard Mark Robinson deny whats obvious when he was speaking with android, almost every reminded me of that song well, my shaggy, it wasnt me. Listen wolf. The problem here is the hypocrisy, but theres two types of hypocrisy, right . Theres all sorts of republicans right now in North Carolina and nationally racing tweets, they had a pictures of themselves and endorsing Mark Robinson okay. But heres the problem they have. I dont know how you tell this guy to step aside because hes a freak and a curve as he himself, rightly calls himself. When you nominee for precedent has been found liable of Sexual Abuse and theres a convicted felon and so where do you draw the line . Is it not okay for Somebody Running for governor, but its okay to have moral problems when you are running for president and as ashley mentioned, theres the hypocrisy of Mark Robinson himself, right who tries to portray himself as this moral guy. Hes an evangelical christian. He preaches a christian churches and here he is a married man on a Porn Site making antisemitic remarks, making racist remarks and doing all these things may or the Trump Campaign released this statement about this Kfile Report and let me read it to you. We are confident that as voters compare the Trump Record of a strong economy, low inflation a secure border and safe streets with the failures of the bidenharris then President Trump will win the Tar Heel State once again. The campaign has not addressing the way he or trump lavishly praised Mark Robinson out there on the Campaign Trail. Listen to this clip hes been at leave able Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson. This is Martin Luther King on steroids. I think youre better than Martin Luther King. I think you are Martin Luther King times two North Carolina is a key Battleground State as we all know, in the 2024 president ial race. So what do you think this report, the impact could be on trump in North Carolina . Well, listen, if youre a democrat, if youre the Harris Campaign, you want to tie Mark Robinson to trump every single day for the next 40 or so odd days and it wont be hard because you have pictures of Donald Trump next to Mark Robinson. You have him theyre comparing him insanely enough to Martin Luther King. I dont know why he thinks either as any competitors harris and maybe because theyre both black i really dont know and you see trump obviously not wanting to say anything about this report. He wants to focus on his campaign in North Carolina. He is stiff arming Mark Robinson, who he essentially handpicked right Mark Robinson would not be in this position where it not for Donald Trumps praise of him and listen, this is where republicans have found themselves in the era of trump, these terrible candidates who, when they tried to run state wide, end up losing as Mark Robinson will absolutely do. Well see if he stays on the ballot or not. It doesnt really matter because he has to say on the battle, i think the deadline is over. So even if he drops out it doesnt really matter at this point, right . We shall see Everybody Standby up next. My Oneonone Interview with the independent senator Joe Manchin willie make an endorsement in the president ial race well ask him about harris versus trump and much more when we come back reaction to the Birth Mono Warner it was overwhelming the idea that this fictional character played any role in politics is Bananas Tv on the edge, moments that shaped our culture, premieres sunday it nine On Cnn goes well, im getting a new car yeah, ive been contemplating the same carbonic convenient for xi at the Tip African Over There by that car.

Thanks very good to be with you was filing when i said thats okay. Im very comfortable than independent. I have the majority. Im with 51 of the registered voters in america at over 80 Million of us. You better figure out what we like and what we do dont like. If you want to win, well, youre a former democrat Kamala Harris, as you know, has positioned herself as being more moderate. If she moderated enough to get your support . Well, i mean, shes saying a lot of the right things now and everything is just basically what you say and what you do are two different things. And i think people are looking at that. Its encouraging to see her understanding. You have to have an Energy Pauli public policy. This is the first time that the Administration Or Anyone administration has acknowledged because of the ira were producing more energy, Fossil Energy than ever before. More investment in clean technology than ever before, more solar more battery storage. Were doing all the things, but were energy independent and weve paid down 230 Billion of debt out of the ira No Ones talked about the finances of this country. Thatll be the downfall if theres a downfall to United States of america, it will be the debt that were putting onto our children. You recently told our chief congressional correspondent, Manu Raja a man, you know, has a way of getting things, is a great reporter usually said to him, you wanted to have a Phone Conversation at least with Kamala Harris, have you been able to have we havent had the conversation yet and hopefully thatll happen and moves. You want to talk to her . Sure. Sure weve we set beside Each Other and Intelligence Committee for over a year. So we got to know, we know each just as shes been down to my Boat And Weve had dinner and everything, so we know Each Other. I know mostly ariba, Donald Trump, ive had many lunches and dinners with him so i know all of the players in there and we just got to see what were going to go. But people dont like this, this visceral Ritter Rhetoric at people like myself, im sick and tired of the partys plan. Your the enemy. So im against you. You havent takes that are for you to endorse and vote for Kamala Harris. I want to see if people recognize the debt that were carrying right now. How do you get your financial house in order recognize theres 35. 4 trillion unprecedented debt that weve ever carried before. What were doing, no matter what youre saying want to do and all of these programs, you want to give so much for this and so much for that new homes and businesses whats the bill . Whats it going to cost . Lets be realistic. People want, people dont live in this la, la land. They have to worry about their finances every day, as you know, dick cheney, Liz Cheney there now supporting her a lot of independents are supporting her show and you still havent decided, is that right . I have not endorsed. Know. I have not endorsed and i want to make sure if im going to do an endorsement, i want to make sure that i believe the person that im talking to and working for is going to follow through. That depends on who they put around him. Because i Joe Biden, ive known Each Other forever night. Hes just always been great. You can make a deal with him and everything and i felt it isnt his staff pulled him too far to the left. He and ive had those conversations but i guess you must have a sense internally privately without declaring it, who are you going to vote for . I ask the question because you youve said and im paraphrasing, you know, you love your country too much to vote for. Thats correct. Now said that insurrection you Cant Vote for trump. So why not simply say youll vote for Kamala Harris. Shes the opponent well, im going to reserve that right until im sure and i feel comfortable that were going to have a balance, but youre definitely not voting for trump, right . The January 6 insurrection, that was real President Trump lost the election. Okay. Orderly transfer of power. The constitution, what we have, who we are, we take an oath, all of us do to defend and protect the constitution. If you cant accept an orderly transfer of power, if you cant basically stop or decry insurrection, thats a problem for me is so hard thats bigger, a bigger step for me than i was when i hear you say you you know, i like a lot of his policies. Theres no nobody can vote for trump. The obvious conclusion i have is that means youve got to vote for Trump Opponent yeah, messy, obvious conclusion youre making right there. Not intend to vote and vote, write somebody in or whatever. I dont know. I dont know. I want to feel comfortable. I want to make sure that were going in the right direction. Still dont feel comfortable saying, well, i think lucama saying all the right things. Tim walz as a person that i worked with for eight years and he was in congress very good person to work with. That helped a lot, but then they said hes moved too far left. I dont know. I havent had ive had a couple of conversations with tim and then well see where it goes, but im partial to the governors anyway, before i let you go, where do you stand right now . Theres apparently their governments going to run out of money. The federal thats really miss just a shame that were going down playing these games and every every year. So whats going to happen . Well, know the stakes for the american people are enormous. If theres a federal judge shut there will not be a shutdown. Theres no way that anybody in their right mind that there could allow that to happen. And i understand the house could not get where they wanted to get to mike johnson. Try. Chuck schumer, i think will step forward and i think him and Mitch Oconnor will work it out and well have a Cr Thatll take us to where we get a final deal to end of the year, the way it should. Youre 100 sure theres not going to be a Government Shutdown about 101 . But really because if they do, theyve lost her mind completely. If he had done that. And why would you break so much havoc and so much heartache and an injury to the american people because the jobs is not being done here. Basically, the people should stay here, not get paid whatsoever. Always said no budget, no pay we had a budget. Just for 20 Years Nobody can operate like that. You can operate your house that way. Your business. This theres got to be some penalties for not doing your job there is none. Theres no recourse whatsoever. Well, lets hope theres no Government Shutdown. There will not be stakes for the american people would be enormous senator, thanks very much for coming as always, good to be with you, good to have you in the situation.

Value for your Life Insurance when you need it with Abacus News Night with Abby Phillip Tonight at ten eastern on Cnn Vice president Kamala Harris is in michigan right now for a high Profile Campaign Event later tonight, headlined by one of her top celebrities, supporters, Oprah Winfrey. Cnns Eva Mckend has more on this event for us, eva. So what is the Harris Campaigns Goal Tonight . Well, wolf, theyre looking to consolidate support among Black Women across the country. Just a few weeks ago when with Black Women there, one of the organizing partners of this Event Tonight when the Vice President announced her candidacy, it happened to coincide with a weekly call that they do well on that call 90,000 black woman from across the country tuned in rolled up their sleeves, talked about how they were going to organize and support of the fisa president. They raised oneandahalf million dollars in just about three hours. So the campaign through that group, looking to really harness that energy, but its not only black woman it is various coalitions across the country that they are trying to inspire and galvanize as those groups do the hard work of door knocking and registering voters in the critical weeks ahead in all, theyre expecting about 200,000 people to tune into this live stream. This is a strategic choice of the Campaign Pain to ensure as many people watch and tune into this event as possible. Its just going to be a small live audience that will include Governor Gretchen Whitmer among others, and Wolf Today we also learned that the White House has pulled over the liaison, working with celebrities that Staff Member over to the campaign side. So that really gives you a sense that they are trying to boost the Celebrity Engagement as a mechanism to turn out voters and maintain momentum for the campaign. Campaign. Eva mckend reporting for us, eva, thank you very much. Our political experts are back with us. Lets get some analysis. And nia, let me start with you. Youre heard that the Harris Campaign sees this event with oprah as a big moment. Their words, a big moment how much of an impact do you see tonight having in this Neck And Neck race . Well, listen, everyone wants oprah on their side, you think back to 2008, the big rally she gave for then candidate Barak Obama in 2000, he rallied for Stacey Abrams when she ran for governor in georgia. And then that amazing performance at the dnc where she she brought the house down there talking about Black Women, obviously, who are the backbone of the democratic party in terms of voting, in terms of organizing, in terms of door doorknocking. But listen, oprah is a superstar to everyone, right . Particularly women, suburban women if you will come a harris really need to maximize the turnout among suburban women. Black wait asian, latino, and thats what theyll be doing tonight, connecting specifically, i think with a group that works with Black Women. But youre going to have folks on there who want to donate to want to figure out how they can organize in their own communities. Because thats what its going to take a toll. The elect, the first black Woman President is going to take really a Ground Game like weve never seen before in this country. And oprah certainly is going to help by the democratic candidates actually in a recent pew poll, 87 of Black Women supportive Kamala Harris, just around President Bidens 2020 Exit Poll at 90 . How much is Kamala Harris relying on even more support from this crucial Voting Group well, you know, its not just Kamala Harris is all democrat, democrats, Black Women are the backbone of the democratic party. We study our issues, we are loyal, we registered voters, we knock doors and we turn out voters and we elect candidates. I think what is interesting about Tonights Event is that it is led by Black Women, but it is for all people. It is a broad coalition call. I have to say this was the department i ran in 2020 and what theyre doing tonight is really cool. I mean, this is not just the campaign organized these are individuals who Saw Something and Kamala Harris his candidacy, led by Black Women, white women, white dudes, chefs, artists, executives. You name it, theres about 30 plus different Constituency Groups that are unifying tonight following the lead of black woman and saying theyre all to elect Kamala Harris. So i think not only is a historical and you have oprah, which is also a signal because oprah for so many years was the Great Unifier that would come into our home every Day And Talk across constituencies. So theres a lot of symbolism here. Theres a lot of paying tribute to Black Women for being such an important part of the democratic party, but theres also a lot of inclusiveness in this Event Tonight, which is exciting. Yeah, which is very important to share shermichael in this new pew poll, black men are a bit softer in their support for Kamala Harris and 80 Kamala Harris was candid at the National Association For Black Journalists on wednesday, that she needs to earn their vote. So how does she do that i mean, i think black voters, generally speaking are bit hard to pose. So i want to Go To howard University Survey that came out today that suggested that she is performing around 82 with black voters writ large, meaning Men And Women i Donald Trump is around 12 . Thats the same number he received in 2020. I think a part of the reason to nias point that youre seeing the Vice President doubled down on her Support And Outreach to woman is because i assume the calculation from the Campaigns Perspective is if they cant make up room with men specifically black men, can they sort of provide a Buffer Or Cushion if you will, in some of those critical Battleground States, by continuously targeted and penetrating Women Voters around a certain issues at our of importance to them, whether or not that will be enough. Im not exactly sure. I mean, Polling Data suggests, when you look beneath the top line numbers, but a lot of trumps voters are typically underestimated. Or theyre typically arent polled very well. And so his strengths may not necessarily reveal themselves in the data that we have access to, which is why you see that this raises a whole lot closer than i think many would have suspected it would have been. Its interesting, Ana Navarro is with us, anna, beyond Kamala Harris, his base. Do you think this oprah Event Tonight is going to sway undecided and independent voters you know, Oprah Winfrey, hes got a golden touch, right . She is queen minus when she picks a book for her book club, it becomes an instant best seller when she publishes what her favorite things are they become instant best sellers so to be her favorite president ial candidate is a very good thing. And Oprah Winfrey stayed as the Number One Talk Show for decades because shes yes, shes a black woman. Yes. She appeals to Black Women. Black women are crucial, but Oprah Winfrey it crosses all sorts of democrats rapids, all sorts of women, and even some men. She appeals to. I also think that theres an aspect here that were not talking about, which is looming Oprah Winfrey is the great communicator and she is the best interviewer in the business theres a lot of people who still say that they dont know enough about Kamala Harris is somebody can show was who Kamala Harris is in an hour or two Oprah Winfrey. And so im very much looking forward to seeing what happens in that interview. Well find out fairly soon. Nia while Kamala Harris is in michigan, the socalled Uncommitted Movement just decided not to endorse her because of her close alignment with President Biden on Israels War in gaza. Though they warned against trump, could this hurt her, this Uncommitted Movement thats out there . Yes. Sure. Listen, i think thats one of the reasons you have heard in michigan right now, democrats have been nervous about this.

Kamala harris, looking to repeat Joe Bidens victory from four years ago, Joe Biden will win the state michigan, despite that loss, trump performed slightly better here in Menominee County. Why are democratic votes in rural michigan so important to winning the state in november . Well, every vote counts, we if we get 30 or 40 extra votes in the county here with our work that possibly could make the difference in michigan because michigan is going to be close, you are the chairman of the Menominee County democratic party, the big massive Menominee County, michigan democratic party. Yeah how many members now . We have close to 80, pretty much tripled our membership this year. This small canada is about 12,000 votes at play here to have at active democrats in the party. What does that say about where things are right now here well, to me it says that there are democrats in this county that had been hidden for awhile, hidden no more. Was the President Obama at the dnc or maybe it was michelle who said those that around and complain about things. Do something that has been in my brain, kind of repeating itself over and over since i heard that. Do something, its like a democratic coming out i said, were coming out putting her democratic signs out. Ill popular or harriswalz signs. Well, theyre popular and you dont have any signs. Well you have no signs to give yeah thats true. Do you have a harriswalz sign your house how well we have a hybrid one.

Why do places like this matter to what happens in michigan in the country . Well, if people can change here they can change just about anywhere so look wolf democrats in this little corner of michigan are buoyant, which i think they havent seen in a long time.

Lets bring in cnns Brian Todd. You tell us brian well wolf, we have new Information Tonight on a series of suspicious packages sent to Election Offices across the country this week Hazmat Teams respond and an Election Office in iowa is evacuated according to cnn and the associated press, suspicious packages containing powder were sent to Election Offices in at least 19 teen states. This week today, North Carolina confirming it was one of them. We have learned that there was one in the Mail Stream to us and it was intercepted. There were no reports of actual Hazardous Material in any of the packages but its part of a significant and very dangerous spike in recent months. And overall since the 2020 election two of those types of acts, Election Officials, workers, and volunteers and communities across the country have been targeted with heinous acts and threats of violence in Durham County, North Carolina. This past march, according to the county Elections Director a man showed up too late to the polls and was told he couldnt vote in the primary when the individual told our Chief Administrator at the pre saying that if i Cant Vote with a ballot, vote with a bullet, Law Enforcement responded, but Derek Bowen says, the Man Sun left the scene last year, a series of suspicious letters, some laced with fentanyl were sent to Election Offices throughout the country. The near constant threat of violence has led to an exodus. Many experienced Election Officials are stepping down this cycle. Some citing harassment. Ive, ive had Death Threats i family has suffered through threats for those staying on the job, the measures theyre taking to try to stay safe are mindboggling. It really adds to the anxiety that we have about doing our job in Durham County, workers at polling places this year will be equipped with panic buttons. They can actually press a button and that will alert Emergency Services to respond and it will use Bluetooth Technology for their exact location. The central Election Office in Durham County will be like fort knox, Bulletproof Glass at the front desk, a Deescalation Room for people who were upset and incredibly, theyve had to install a separate expensive Filtration System for hazardous male. We have a mailroom that has a separate Exhaust System. So if there are any hazardous substances that come out as a result of male, im it will be contained to that room and will be pushed out through a separate Exhaust System Derek Bowen says he felt that sense of fear in recent days when he was leaving his office late at night, i had the thought of looking around me making sure that there was No One, you know, Coming Up to me or trying to get in close proximity actually thought about my life for the first time one Election Security advocate, we spoke to says the exodus of experienced Election Workers has presented the challenge of getting new workers up to speed before Election Day. But he was quick to try to tamp down the rhetoric of Conspiracy Theorists and fear mongers, saying that hes confident that those challenges are not going to translate to problems or kate yes on Election Day, but wolf, theres so much fear is still out there.
