Some voters in a North Florida county hit hard by Hurricane Michael submitted their ballots by fax and email -- a practice that runs afoul of guidance issued by Florida election officials in October.Bay County Supervisor of Elections Mark Andersen told CNN that he and his staff had worked with 158 voters displaced by Michael to allow them to cast ballots by email and fax, despite the Florida Department of State saying that voting by fax or email "is not an option."Andersen said, "That was the only method available to voters that were displaced from the hurricane.""We would send them a ballot via email just like we would to the extent with our overseas voters. They would get it, they would vote it; 147 of them actually faxed it back to us after they voted it," he said. Eleven were sent back over email, he said."No one cast a ballot that shouldn't have cast a ballot," Andersen said.Because of the hurricane's destruction, "Some (voters) don't have homes -- some of my staff don't have homes that worked this election -- so I think the important part (is) to realize that we actually were able to pull off a successful election with checks and balances," Andersen said.On Oct. 18, Florida Gov. Rick Scott issued an executive order?allowing the supervisors of elections in counties severely affected by Hurricane Michael to extend early voting and vote-by-mail options. A few weeks before the general election on Nov. 6, Hurricane Michael slammed into Florida as a Category 4 storm, devastating communities.A press release from the Florida Department of State on Oct. 18 outlined the plan to extend early voting and vote-by-mail, and also said: "Voting by fax or email is not an option under the Executive Order.""In the hardest hit areas, communication via phone, fax and email remains challenging and would be an unreliable method for returning ballots," the statement from the department continued. "Additionally, past attempts by other states to allow voters impacted by natural disasters to fax or email ballots have been rife with issues."Republicans, including Rick Scott and President Donald Trump, have alleged that there is "fraud" in the state's election process, despite repeated denials from the Florida Department of State. The accusations have been leveled at the Democratic counties of Palm Beach and Broward. Bay County is a Republican county."I'm quite perplexed that people are very energetic in trying to stop people from casting their ballot, given the devastation that this county has experienced," Andersen told CNN.Andersen told CNN he had made Florida Secretary of State Ken Detzner aware of his intentions before Election Day, and that Detzner had responded by saying, "You're the supervisor of elections of this county, and you do what you feel is in the best interest of your Bay County voters."A spokesperson for the Florida Department of State, Sarah Revell, did not immediately respond to a request for comment on that claim.In a more general statement, Revell told CNN, "The Florida Department of State has received reports that the Bay County supervisor of elections allowed some voters to return their ballots via email and fax."Revell continued, "Supervisors of elections are independently elected constitutional officers and it is each supervisor's responsibility to adhere to the law at all times."Andersen told CNN, "I don't believe that I broke anything as far as the requirement and charge of my office to ensure the voter the opportunity to cast a ballot." 3529

Singer and actress Janelle Monae confirmed her sexual orientation for the first time in a new interview."Being a black queer woman in America ... someone who has been in relationships with both men and women -- I consider myself to be a free-** m******f***er," she said in a Rolling Stone cover story published online Thursday.Monae, a six-time Grammy nominee who has also starred in films such as "Moonlight" and "Hidden Figures," says she's still learning about her sexuality."But then later I read about pansexuality and I was like, 'Oh, these are things that I identify with too.' I'm open to leaning more about myself," she said.Monae's sexual orientation has been a source of gossip in the past. Her Rolling Stone interview marks the first time she's confirmed that she's bisexual. In a 2013 interview with Pride Source, she said, "I just live my life, and people can feel free to discuss whatever it is that they think and use whatever adjectives they feel. It's a free country."Monae told Rolling Stone that the answers to the questions around her sexuality were always in her music. She cites "Mushrooms & Roses" and "Q.U.E.E.N" as two songs that portray a woman named Mary as a love interest.In "Q.U.E.E.N" she sings, "Say is it weird to like the way she wear her tights?/And is it rude to wear my shades?/Am I a freak because I love watching Mary?"Monae's hope is that her new album, "Dirty Computer," which debuts Friday, will inspire those who feel left out for being different."I want young girls, young boys, nonbinary, gay, straight, queer people who are having a hard time dealing with their sexuality, dealing with feeling ostracized or bullied for just being their unique selves, to know that I see you," she said. "This album is for you. Be proud."  1786

South Korean President Moon Jae-In has convinced North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to hold his upcoming meeting with US President Donald Trump at the demilitarized zone separating the two Koreas, a source tells CNN.Moon and Kim met at the same location in Panmunjom last Friday, a historically significant event that was televised worldwide and led to an agreement to denuclearize the Korean Peninsula and formally end the Korean War.There is a "strong possibility" the summit will be held at the site, with some events possibly scheduled on the northern side of the military demarcation line separating the two countries, according to an official with deep knowledge of North Korea's thinking on the matter.The venue makes the most sense logistically for Kim, the source said, because media facilities and equipment are already in place, which could the allow the summit to take place "in late May." 931

Standing in the kitchen of her family’s temporary rental home in Cape Elizabeth, Maine, 13-year-old Elizabeth Wilk reflects back on the spring that was taken away from her and countless other teenagers across the country.Wilk was a 7th grader in Baltimore when the pandemic hit, and classes were abruptly halted to stop the spread of the virus. Then in May, her mom got a new job in Maine. There was never a real chance to say goodbye to any of her friends in person.“It felt so sudden,” she recalled. ‘That it was almost like I was too rushed for a lot of sadness.”Before she or her younger brother, Charlie Wilk, knew it, this family of four was packing up a U-Haul and headed to Maine. It was nearly 500 miles away from everything they knew.“It’s been hard to find friends that are my own,” Elizabeth Wilk added about the realities of relocating during a pandemic.Having seen this kind of place in her dreams, Elizabeth Wilk’s mom, Shannon Wilk, always imagined that moving to coastal Maine would be like a never-ending vacation. But this family and so many others across the country have realized it's been hard to put down roots in a new place because of COVID-19. Shannon Wilk spends most of her days working remotely from the basement of her home.“I feel like we’re not really part of this community yet. I get up every morning and I come to my basement,” she said.With millions of Americans out of work though, Shannon Wilk knew that when she landed a new job at Spinnaker Trust in Portland, Maine, she had to take it.“I’m lucky I was offered a job and the job offered stayed in place,” she added.The Wilks’ story is just one among many in the American struggle to cope with COVID-19 as major life plans are panning out in different ways than we imagined.“There comes a point where you have to make the decision, are we going to go or not?” Shannon Wilk said.There has been a bit of a silver lining though. With so many Americans working from basically anywhere right now, it’s given companies new flexibility in who they’re hiring.Shannon Wilk’s boss, Caitlin Dimillo, says her company can now expand their candidate search pool when posting new positions.“We don’t need somebody down the street that can come into the physical office,” Dimillo said.As for the Wilk kids, they are both looking forward to school starting in a few weeks, even if in-person learning is only two days a week. 2405
