Wednesday’s Democratic Party presidential debate hosted by NBC News could make for one of the most intriguing debates in recent memory. The late entry of Michael Bloomberg has posed an intriguing case study on whether it’s possible not to participate in the early-state nominating contests and still earn the nomination.So far, Bloomberg has spent hundreds of millions in advertising. While commercials help spread a candidate’s message, advertisements do not face the type of scrutiny a stage full of opponents questioned by moderators does. And with Bloomberg’s recent rise in the polls, he could be facing incoming from everyone on the stage.When: Wednesday, Feb. 19, 9-11 p.m. ETHow to watch: NBC, MSNBC, NBCNews.com, Universo (Spanish Translation)The candidatesFormer Vice President Joe BidenFormer New York City Mayor Michael BloombergFormer South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete ButtigiegMinnesota Sen. Amy KlobucharVermont Sen. Bernie SandersMassachusetts Sen. Elizabeth WarrenFive of the six candidates have participated in every previous debate. QualificationsCandidate earned at least 10% support in four national polls, or 12 percent in two Nevada and/or South Carolina polls, or have at least one national delegate pledged from the Iowa or New Hampshire primaries. Wednesday’s debate marks the first debate that has lifted the requirement to meet fundraising thresholds. This is what allowed Bloomberg to enter the debate. Ridding the fundraising requirement for Bloomberg, who has largely self-funded his campaign, did not please Warren. “It’s a shame Mike Bloomberg can buy his way into the debate,” Warren said. “But at least now primary voters curious about how each candidate will take on Donald Trump can get a live demonstration of how we each take on an egomaniac billionaire.”Who isn’t on the stageBillionaire Tom Steyer will not participate in a debate for the first time during the 2020 cycle. This comes despite strong polling numbers in Nevada and South Carolina. Also, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, who last participated in a debate in October, did not qualify. Businessman Andrew Yang has dropped out of the race since the last debate. Other candidates who have since dropped out include Sen. Michael Bennet and Gov. Deval Patrick. Where the race standsButtigieg holds a slight lead in delegates over Sanders (23-21). Other candidates with delegates are Warren (8), Klobuchar (7) and Biden (6). Bloomberg did not enter the first two nominating contests, and will sit out Saturday’s Nevada Caucuses and the South Carolina Primary on Feb. 29. Although Buttigieg holds the lead in delegates, it is hard to describe him as the frontrunner. Sanders has a plurality of votes, and leads national polling. Real Clear Politics tracks major opinion polls, and an aggregate of polls show that Sanders has seen his share of the vote go from 19% to 27% in the last three weeks. During that time, Bloomberg has seen his numbers more than double, as he has gone from the back of the pack to nearly even with one-time frontrunner Biden for second. Sanders also is polling well in Nevada, a state he won in 2016. An East Carolina University poll held this week shows Biden still holds a lead in South Carolina, despite poor performances in Iowa and New Hampshire. But on March 3, the biggest night of the nominating race awaits as more than a dozen states, including Texas and California, hold primaries. These states are already conducting early voting, meaning Wednesday’s debate could be the final opportunity for candidates to make an impression before a crucial Super Tuesday race. Debate rulesThe moderators will be "NBC Nightly News" and "Dateline NBC" anchor Lester Holt, "Meet the Press" moderator and NBC News Political Director Chuck Todd, NBC News Chief White House Correspondent and host of "MSNBC Live" Hallie Jackson, Noticias Telemundo Senior Correspondent Vanessa Hauc and Jon Ralston of The Nevada Independent.Candidates will have 1 minute and 15 seconds for answers and 45 seconds for follow-ups at the moderators’ discretion, NBC News said.Race issues facing Bloomberg, candidatesGiven that Wednesday is the ninth debate since the start of the nominating process, it is very possible that many of the question will be directed at Bloomberg. How he responds to issues such as “Stop and Frisk” and race relations more broadly could be seen as key. Bloomberg will likely be asked about why he allowed “Stop and Frisk,” a policy that allowed NYPD officers to stop citizens to conduct pat downs without probably cause, to exist for years. Opponents of stop and frisk claim that blacks were targeted by the policy, and that these stops did not reduce crime. Proponents said that stops of these nature are permissible by Supreme Court ruling, and dispute findings that the stops don’t reduce crime.Buttigieg and Klobuchar could also be probed on race relations, especially since both candidates did well following the New Hampshire primary. Buttigieg has faced criticism over housing and policing policies while mayor. Meanwhile, Klobuchar has been facing questions on her prosecution of Myon Burrell, who was convicted of killing an 11-year-old girl with a stray bullet. The AP reported that no guns, fingerprints or DNA tying Burrell to the homicide were ever found.Black Democratic voters make up nearly 20% of the party’s electorate. 5358

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Treasury Department wants to start issuing direct payments to Americans by early next month as the centerpiece of a trillion plan to stabilize the economy as the coronavirus epidemic takes a toll on taxpayers and businesses. In a memorandum issued Wednesday, Treasury is calling for two 0 billion cash infusions to individuals: A first set of checks issued starting April 6, with a second wave in mid-May. The amounts would depend on income and family size. The Treasury plan would require approval by Congress.This story is developing and will be updated. 596

Voting in America is a right in our democracy, but the security of our voting machines is a concern.“I’m not exactly sure how the election fraud keeps happening, because they can make a slot machine unhackable, but it seems like the polling machines are susceptible to all kinds of intrusions and manipulation,” Colorado voter Karen Katalinich said.Cyber expert Kevin Ford says he believes the U.S. is still vulnerable to attacks.Ford, with CyberGRX, says voting machine technology differs from state to state. However, he says the problem isn’t necessarily with the machine. Rather, it’s what happens with the data after you cast your vote.“The machines themselves may keep records of who voted for whom, but in a lot of cases those records will be exported from the machine and moved to databases in the cloud and on the internet, which opens up a whole lot of other connectivity routes,” Ford said.He says many machines are connected to state websites. Some of which don’t have the best security due to lack of funding.“We already have examples of Russia accessing those databases, pulling information from those databases, and trying to attack those databases,” Ford said.Ford says intruders can try to upload some bad code to get the database to spit out valid data or destroy some of that data. He says many states have improved voting security, but others are lagging behind. While he does feel the U.S. is still vulnerable to another attack, others trust the technology.“I think people in charge of it are pretty thorough about making sure it’s done right, and if something’s wrong, it’s always brought to their attention,” Mississippi voter Ronnie Wilhite said.“It should be safe and secure enough for voters to feel confident in who they choose to elect their officials,” California voter Pen Chang said. “So, in general, I feel pretty good about the safety and security of the machines.” Ford says there is no federal requirement to look into the security of the voting system. He believes that needs to change, to make sure everyone’s vote is being counted fairly.“We need laws in place to make sure that we are looking into the voting systems so that we’re doing audits and risk assessments on those. We also need standards. We need policies, we need framework which tells the states how to secure voting systems.”Until then, some voters say they'll still cast their ballots by machine.“I guess I just trust the system that people are being honest,” Colorado voter Jenna Cobo said.**********************************************************If you'd like to contact the journalist for this story, email elizabeth.ruiz@scripps.com 2652

Whipping winds and dangerously dry conditions fueled the growth of wildfires in northern and southern California on Sunday, forcing thousands of people to flee their homes and causing Gov. Gavin Newsom to declare a statewide emergency."We are deploying every resource available, and are coordinating with numerous agencies as we continue to respond to these fires," Newsom said in a statement.He issued a proclamation saying the "fire weather conditions are unprecedented due to the scale, scope, wind speed and dry fuel conditions."In northern California's wine country, the Kincade Fire has already destroyed 79 structures and now threatens 31,175 other homes and buildings, said the 698
