and even fraud. The Better Business Bureau says very few platforms fully vet online reviews. It believes at least half of the online reviews out there aren't real. Yet, many of our businesses rely on these reviews to bring in new customers, but fraudsters have learned a bad review is a blemish they can try to use against them. “It was a similar number that kept calling and calling and I thought wow. Then I listened to it and I was kind of taken by surprise," said Margie Keener is a real estate agent in Woodland Park, Colorado.She says someone called her claiming to be a representative of Google. "They were asking for money to take down Google reviews,” said Keener. She didn't think much about it until she looked at her Google review page and discovered a bad review, a review she claims is false. She says at the time the review was posted, she was recovering from surgery and wasn't working much. She noticed the same profile that left her a bad review also left 12 other bad reviews against other area businesses the same day.“So they had done 12 reviews between Florrissant and Colorado Springs and they had hit apartment complexes, they had hit a doctor, they did a construction business, multiple real estate businesses, and pretty much they sometimes just repeated the same review," said Keener. The person on the phone call recording asked Keener to pay ,000 to have the negative review removed. "I’m thinking oh my goodness. That’s a serious scam. That is a lot of money and what are these people going to do?," Keener said.Instead of contacting the number left on her voicemail, Keener reached out to Google directly and was sent to a customer support page. She flagged the comment which Google says can take several days to be evaluated. Her only other option... "You have to get an attorney and a judge issue a court order to take it down,” said Keener. The Better Business Bureau of Southern Colorado says both consumers and small businesses complain about the prevalence of phony online reviews.“One of the statistics that we have is 61% of reviews on Amazon are fake. So, again that's more than half and I think it's pretty safe to say through any platform probably at least 50% of reviews are fake,” said Adah Rodriguez spokesperson for the BBB of Southern Colorado. Consumer protection experts say unfortunately Keener's experience isn't unique, but praised Keener's decision not to do business with anyone demanding money to remove online reviews. "Knowing that more than half of reviews are fake it's hard to know where they're coming from so unfortunately I'm not surprised by it," said Rodriguez. ”Obviously if these fraudsters or these individuals get what they're requesting they're going to continue to do it."After months of reaching out to Google through emails keener says google finally removed the bad review from her page.If you have an issue with a Google review 2912

can mean doubling your salary overnight.But a cheating scandal last October rocked this elite world of wine. A member of the board of directors of the Court of Master Sommeliers was caught sharing answers about which wines were served on the tasting portion of the exam. The Court said it couldn't identify which candidates received answers, so 23 newly minted master sommeliers were summarily stripped of their titles. Now, nearly a year later, 448

With the Trump administration openly trying to undermine mail-in voting this fall, some election officials around the country are hoping to bypass the Postal Service by installing lots of ballot drop boxes in libraries, community centers and other public places.Such boxes have been used with success for several years in states like Oregon, Washington and Colorado that rely largely or entirely on ballots that must be sent in. But their use is being expanded because of the coronavirus outbreak and, more recently, concerns about the post office’s ability to do its job.State or local authorities in places such as Arizona, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania are pressing for more boxes or drop-off sites that would enable ballots to reach election officials without going through the mail.“Donald Trump continues to undermine the legitimacy of mail-in absentee ballots by attacking the U.S. Postal Service,” said New York state Sen. Brad Hoylman, a Democrat who is sponsoring legislation to set up drop boxes beyond the usual confines of voting sites and local election offices. “New York can hit back on this anti-democratic fearmongering by establishing absentee ballot drop boxes across the state to help ensure the integrity of these ballots.”In the potential battleground state of Wisconsin, the five biggest cities won a .3 million grant from the nonprofit Center for Tech and Civic Life to help administer the November election, including installation of drop boxes. Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett said his city will use some of its .1 million share to buy more than a dozen to install at libraries and other locations.Arizona’s secretary of state is ordering about 70 more for the mostly rural areas that have requested them, and a spokeswoman said some counties are also purchasing extra ones.Washington state election officials said that there are 450 drop boxes statewide, and there are discussions about adding more.Last week, the Postal Service, having cut overtime and late deliveries, began warning states that it can’t guarantee all mail ballots will be received in time to be counted. President Donald Trump, who has been sowing unfounded fears of vote-by-mail fraud for months, last week admitted blocking Postal Service funding so it would be harder to process the expected surge of millions of ballots.Democratic Rep. Mark Pocan of Wisconsin said concerns over post office delays are a big factor in communities looking to install drop boxes for the November election.“It’s another way to be completely assured your ballot is getting dropped off as if you’re going to the polls,” the congressman said. “I think you’re going to see a lot more of this happening.”Election officials in some states — mainly Republican-led ones — have come out against adding drop boxes, saying doing so would be too costly, raises security concerns or would violate state laws.In a tweet Monday, Trump sought to cast doubt on the security of such boxes, saying: “So who is going to ‘collect’ the Ballots, and what might be done to them prior to tabulation? A Rigged Election? So bad for our Country.”Typical security measures for drop boxes include video surveillance, locks, tamper-resistant seals and chain-of-custody logs that are completed each time ballots are collected.Local officials, at a minimum, should have a drop box at their main county or city office building, and it is recommended that they have one box for every 15,000 to 20,000 registered voters, according to a memo issued by federal authorities in response to the viral outbreak.The Brennan Center for Justice, a public policy institute at New York University Law School, has estimated that nearly 11,700 ballot drop-off boxes will be needed for November, at a cost of million to 7 million for purchase and installation.Washington state has boxes outside churches, fire stations, libraries, colleges, city halls, shopping centers and courthouses. In Oregon, they are not only inside libraries and government buildings but on the street outside high-traffic businesses such as Starbucks, McDonald’s and movie theaters.“The whole idea really is to meet people where they are in their everyday lives,” Amber McReynolds, CEO of the National Vote at Home Institute and a former elections official.In Pennsylvania, a federal lawsuit by the Trump campaign and Republican National Committee has cast drop boxes into a legal gray area.That was after Philadelphia and its suburbs used them — to great success, according to officials there — in the June 2 primary, when a record-smashing 1.4 million ballots arrived by mail. Democratic state lawmakers are countersuing to get a judge to clarify that drop boxes are legal.In the meantime, Philadelphia and several suburban counties plan to create satellite election offices where people can register to vote, apply for a ballot and submit it. Philadelphia wants to establish as many as 17.Suburban Delaware County is plowing ahead with its plans for drop boxes without waiting for the outcome of the legal dispute, said County Council member Christine Reuther, a Democrat. With the help of grant money, the county will buy 50 boxes and have them installed by Oct. 1.The goal of the Trump campaign’s lawsuit, said Reuther, was to “scare people away from doing this.”“We are gambling a little bit,” she said. “I think our lawyers feel pretty confident about the lawsuit.”Louisiana isn’t debating adding drop boxes, but the state’s elections chief, GOP Secretary of State Kyle Ardoin, is proposing to allow parishes to set up curbside drop-off stations where people can hand their absentee ballots to someone in person rather than put them in the mail.North Carolina has no plans to install boxes, and Oklahoma doesn’t use them either, though voters can drop off ballots at one location in each county. But the state plans on printing green return envelopes to help postal workers more easily identify mail-in ballots and give them priority.Ohio will have a single drop box in each of its 88 counties. Secretary of State Frank LaRose, a Republican, said he would need legislative authority or clearance from the attorney general to add more.State Sen. Nickie Antonio, a Democrat from suburban Cleveland, said LaRose’s stand “reeks of partisan politics.”____AP state government reporters around the country contributed to this report. 6351

WOLFE CITY, Texas – A white police officer has been charged with murder in the fatal shooting of a Black man following a reported disturbance at a convenience store in a small East Texas town.The Texas Rangers say Jonathan Price was walking away from Wolfe City Police Officer Shaun Lucas Saturday night when Lucas deployed his Taser and then opened fire with his service weapon, killing Price.“The preliminary investigation indicates that the actions of Officer Lucas were not objectively reasonable and, therefore, not justifiable force,” the Texas Rangers said in a statement.The 22-year-old police officer was booked Monday into the Hunt County Jail. Bail is set at million.It's unclear if Lucas has a lawyer who can comment on his behalf.Family and friends of the 31-year-old Price say he was intervening in a domestic disturbance when he was shot.The Texas Rangers are leading the investigation into the shooting, with the cooperation of the Wolfe City Police Department and the Hunt County District Attorney’s Office. 1035

Young people are notorious for skipping elections, and it's a problem voting advocates have tried solving for decades.This year, they had a big uphill battle, mobilizing future voters virtually.“Pre-pandemic, you and I would probably be interviewing in this beautiful student union of ours," said Armando Sepulveda II. “We would have candidates talking to students, meeting students.”A senior at San Diego State University, Sepulveda is Rock the Vote Chair at his school, working on getting as many students as possible registered to vote. “We were going into the dark because we didn’t have any pre-context of how we could handle a Rock the Vote campaign during a pandemic," said Sepulveda. They couldn’t hold large gatherings to register students to vote or hold candidate debates in auditoriums. On-campus posters were replaced with posts online.“We acknowledged that social media was a great platform to get apathetic students because regardless of what they’re doing during the day, they’re probably going to log onto Instagram at least once or twice," said Sepulveda.To keep students from scrolling past their message, Sepulveda's team focused on design, creating easy-to-read, digestible content. “We wanted to make it as simple and visually interesting as possible," he said. They conducted "Zoom-arounds," crashing club meetings to talk about propositions, how to get your ballot and making sure it’s counted. They also held community forums online with local candidates.“I think a lot of young people want to have a renewed sense in trust in the government, but in order to have that, you have to have people you trust elected," said Sepulveda. Sepulveda says after combining California and out-of-state students, they surpassed their goal of registering 1,400 students to vote. Researchers at Tufts University say youth turnout is surging in many states. More than 7 million young people have already voted early or absentee this election. 1958
