LOUISVILLE, Colo. – Colorado-based engineering company BDI performed structural monitoring in recent days during the moving of the bridge that collapsed Thursday at Florida International University.At least eight cars were smashed and nine people were transported to area hospitals when the bridge, which was only installed Saturday, collapsed onto the roadway below Thursday. Six people were killed.According to CNN, the .2 million bridge was designed to withstand Category 5 hurricanes and last for upwards of 100 years.After the bridge collapsed, BDI deleted a tweet that was sent March 12 in which the company touted its structural monitoring of the bridge while it was moved. But the tweet was captured by a Miami reporter before it was deleted. 761

MEXICO CITY (AP) — There were two notable holdouts among the world leaders who rushed to congratulate Joe Biden on his victory in the U.S. elections: the leaders of Latin America’s two biggest countries, both of whom have been seen as friendly to President Donald Trump. President Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil is sometimes dubbed “the Trump of the Tropics” for his populist, off-the-cuff style, and he's kept silent on Trump’s loss. Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador refused to congratulate Biden thus far, saying he would wait until legal challenges are resolved. While their motives may be quite different, both leaders faced criticism at home for their stance. 679

Los latinos constituyen de aproximadamente un tercio de los votantes elegibles en esta elección presidencial en los Estados Unidos. Según un estudio reciente de El Centro de Investigación Pew, votantes latinos nombraron la Corte Suprema como unos de los temas más importantes para la comunidad. Christine Rodríguez es una abogada que sera juramentada en la barra de la Corte Suprema en enero. Ella dice que la preocupación de el tema viene por la falta de representación.Rodríguez recuerda haber so?ado con ser abogada cuando tenía solo 9 a?os, pero le faltaba alguien que la asesorara. “Nadie que yo conocia era abogado”, explica Rodríguez. No fue hasta su último a?o de secundaria, durante un viaje educativo a Washington, D.C. que encontró su inspiración. “Está mujer es todo lo que yo quiero ser“, dijo Rodríguez sobre el momento en cual pudo observar a la magistrada de la Corte Suprema, Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Rodríguez incluso guardó las notas que tomó mientras observaba. Cerca del nombre del magistrado Antonin Scalia, ella escribió una nota describiéndolo como divertido. Junto al nombre de Ginsburg Rodriguez escribió, "inteligente y seria."Veinte a?os después de esta experiencia, Rodríguez sera juramentada en la Barra de Abogados de la Corte Suprema, lo que le permitirá argumentar casos ante la Corte Suprema. La ceremonia de confirmacion sera el próximo enero. Pero faltara Ginsburg,quien hubiera estado presente. “Quería agradecerle su incansable labor como abogada, y como mujer y campeona en este campo”, dijo Rodríguez.Como latina, Rodríguez dice que tiene algunas preocupaciones sobre algunas decisiones clave que tomará la Corte Suprema en el próximo período. Un ejemplo es el caso de Obama Care. “El cuidado de la salud es un tema que estará ante la Corte Suprema”, dijo Rodríguez. Quienes se oponen a Obama Care esperan que la Corte decida suspender el programa. El presidente Donald Trump ha dicho que reemplazará Obama Care con algo mejor.Otros votantes dicen que la Corte Suprema necesita diversidad.El voto latino nunca ha sido tan poderoso como lo es ahora. “Quien es estados unidos? Estados unidos no es solamente 8 hombres blancos y una mujer latina. Tiene que haber mas representación”, dijo Mari Carmen Puente Castellano. Según un estudio de el Centro de Investigación Pew, hay 32 millones de latinos quienes son elegibles para votar. “No me importa de qué lado usted vota, pero vote, para que se de a conocer que estamos aquí ”, dijo Castallano sobre la participación de votantes.Rodríguez dice que la comunidad latina ha sido ignorada por los políticos por demasiado tiempo, pero ahora que el número de votantes es lo suficientemente significativo, la comunidad necesita presentarse en las urnas. “Cuanto votamos, los políticos se van a dar cuenta que tienen que escucharnos”, dijo Rodríguez. 2833

Mail balloting was set to begin Friday in the presidential election as North Carolina starts sending out more than 600,000 ballots to voters — responding to a massive spike in requests that has played out across the country as voters look for safer way to cast ballots during the pandemic.The 618,000 ballots requested in the initial wave in North Carolina were more than 16 times the number the state sent out at the same time four years ago. The requests came overwhelmingly from Democratic and independent voters, a reflection of a new partisan divide over mail voting.The North Carolina numbers were one more bit of evidence backing up what experts have been predicting for months: Worries about the virus are likely to push tens of millions of voters to vote by mail for the first time, transforming the way the election is conducted and the vote is counted.In 2016, just one-quarter of the electorate cast votes through the mail. This time, elections officials expect the majority of voters to use the method. Wisconsin has already received nearly 100,000 more requests than it did in the 2016 election. In Florida, 3,347,960 people requested ballots during the 2016 election. The state has already received 4,270,781 requests.While ballots go out in two weeks in other battlegrounds like Minnesota, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, all eyes are on North Carolina as it leads off.In North Carolina, Wake County, which includes the capital city of Raleigh, accounts for more than 100,000 absentee ballot requests so far. This week, the office groaned under the twin stresses of record mail voting and the pandemic.On Thursday, workers in yellow vests and masks sat at folding tables spaced apart in a county warehouse, affixing address labels to envelopes and then putting the ballots inside. Board of Elections Director Gary Sims said that the pandemic presents new challenges for the workers including staying spaced out and using hand sanitizer as much as possible.“We’re already at over three times the amount of requests that we’ve ever had in its entirety in an election. So that’s caused us to change some of our business processes,” Sims said.The increase in interest has come with an increase in partisan division.The GOP has historically dominated North Carolina mail voting, but this year the people asking for the ballots are not generally Republicans. Democrats requested more than 326,000 ballots, and independents 192,000, while only 92,000 were sought by Republicans. Voters in the state can continue to request the ballots up until Oct. 27, though that may be too close to the Nov. 3 election for them to receive the ballot and return it to their local elections office in time.The Democratic lead in mail ballots isn’t only in North Carolina. In Maine, 60% of requests for mail ballots have been made by Democrats and 22% by independents. In Pennsylvania, Democrats have requested nearly triple the number of absentee ballots as Republicans. In Florida, where the GOP once dominated mail voting, 47.5% of requests have come from Democrats and 32% from Republicans.“These numbers are astronomical, and on top of that there’s these clear partisan differences,” said Michael McDonald, a political scientist at the University of Florida who tracks early voting.The party split comes as President Donald Trump has baselessly derided mail ballots as vulnerable to fraud, even as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended them as a safer alternative to in-person voting during the pandemic. The numbers in North Carolina and elsewhere suggest Republicans are listening to Trump, shying away from mail ballots while Democrats rush to use them.The Democrats’ advantage in mail voting won’t necessarily translate into an advantage in the election, however. Ballots cast on Election Day, expected to be mostly Republican, will count just as much as those sent remotely.“Even if the Democrats build up a huge lead in the early vote ballot, I still need to see the Election Day votes, because that’s going to be that red wave,” McDonald said.Tom Bonier, chief executive officer of the Democratic data firm Target Smart, agreed. But he’s seen one hopeful indicator for his party — 16% of the mail ballot requests so far have been from voters who didn’t vote in 2016. They’re younger than typical mail voters, as well.“Seeing younger Democrats adapting to the technique is the first sign of a potential enthusiasm gap,” Bonier said, noting it won’t be possible to know if the GOP catches up until Election Day.Campaigns usually want their voters to cast ballots by mail because they can “bank” those early vote and focus their scarce resources getting their remaining supporters to the polls on Election Day. Trump has complicated that effort among Republicans by repeatedly condemning mail voting, even though in the five states that routinely mail ballots to all voters there has been no large-scale fraud.On Wednesday, while in North Carolina, the president suggested that supporters vote once by the mail and a second time in person to test whether the system could weed out voter fraud. The executive director of North Carolina’s board of elections, Karen Brinson Bell, on Thursday warned that voting twice in the state is a felony, as is trying to induce someone to vote twice.Republicans have tried to overcome Trump’s open skepticism and persuade their own voters to use the absentee voting system. The North Carolina Republican Party, for example, has sent a series of mailers urging its voters to cast ballots through the system, accompanied by copies of Trump tweets with his criticism of mail voting edited out.The message hasn’t gotten through to Nona Flythe, 64, an unaffiliated voter who lives in Southport, on the North Carolina coast, and plans to vote a straight Republican ticket — in person — this year.“I just think I’m stuck in my ways,” Flythe said. “I’ve always done it that way, and I think if I socially distance and wear a mask that it’s fine.”____AP reporters Sara Burnett in Chicago and Sarah Blake Morgan in Raleigh contributed to this report. 6101
