The first day of voting has gone badly & smoothly at polling stations in Meck Co. for instance, South County Regional Library on Rae Rd had 2-1/2 hour wait times much of the day, but had only voted 618 ppl by 4:40 pm. The term used to describe it was “chaos.” SouthPark Library had 791 voters by 5:30 despite have 90-minute wait times nearly all day.

But the winner of the day was the new large poll in site in SouthPark by the Coca-Cola building on Rexford. At 3:10 pm, they had 1,075 voters and ZERO wait times. It was a major success.

A chatbot can be a helpful coach in your pocket, and many people are seeing the benefits of such, but since this is tech we’re talking about, we have to protect our digital footprints – even with AI chatbots. As you use AI, consider these three security measures:

1. Read the privacy policy. Is it possible that your ongoing conversations are being recorded? How would you feel if your insurance company, employer or the police saw the transcript?

2. Assume the chatbot is susceptible to a data breach.

3. Know the origin story of the chatbot. Is it based in Russia or China? Does it possibly have ties to an adversarial nation state?

If nothing else about chatbots concerns you, at least take these steps to protect your privacy.

Get ready now and check your registration

[Joe Bruno @JoeBrunoWSOC9]

NCSBE has created a database for voters to see if they need to fix their registration by providing their driver's license number or the last four digits of their social security number.

If you are on this list, you can correct the information several ways:
1. DMV's website- https://t.co/E2etoY44I5
2. Visiting your local Board of Elections.
3. Waiting for NCSBE to mail you a correction form. This will be mailed in August. Fill out the letter, sign it, and mail it to your county board of elections using the pre-addressed return envelope enclosed with the letter. No stamp is needed

About 103K voters are impacted

Statement from NCSBE on the Court of Appeals ruling:

Today, the North Carolina Court of Appeals issued a decision in the election protest brought by state supreme court candidate Jefferson Griffin. The court’s decision may require the county boards of elections to contact voters whose voter registration forms did not include a driver’s license number or last four digits of a social security number, and to allow those voters to provide that information to their county board of elections, to ensure their votes for the supreme court contest count in the 2024 general election.

The court’s decision may also require the county boards of elections to contact military and overseas-citizen voters who used absentee ballots to provide a copy of their photo identification, to ensure their votes for the supreme court contest count in the 2024 general election. This protest does not affect these voters’ selections in any other contest on the ballot.

The court’s decision is not yet in effect and is likely to be appealed. If the court’s decision does go into effect, the State Board of Elections will provide instructions to affected voters on how to comply with the court’s decision.

Regardless of the ultimate outcome of this ongoing legal dispute, any voter who is concerned that their voter registration information is incomplete or is not up to date should submit an updated voter registration form. Submitting an updated voter registration form is easy. Any voter who has a license from the DMV can go to https://t.co/E2etoY44I5 to fill out a voter registration application. If you’re already registered, submitting this information will merely update your existing voter registration. You don’t need to create a special account with the DMV. You can select “Continue as Guest” on the DMV’s website and proceed directly to submitting your voter registration.
If you don’t have a license from the DMV, you can download a voter registration form at https://t.co/0Gm3ve6Mcj, and then print, sign, and submit that paper form to your county board of elections. Contact and address information for the 100 county boards of elections is available here: https://t.co/IYo0tyZAB2.

The State Board will provide updated information as this legal dispute develops.

Urgent warning over PayPal scam hitting millions of Americans' inboxes
https://t.co/IQlxJQSHgL

🚨 Watch Out for Delivery Scams! 📦🔒 (I am attaching a sample scam in the photo - this one claims wrong zip code)
‼️
Scammers are targeting your inbox and text messages, pretending to be delivery companies. Don’t fall for it! Here’s how to spot delivery scams and the right way to check on a package:

✅ Spotting a Delivery Scam:
1️⃣ Unexpected messages 🤔📩: Didn’t order anything? 🚫 It’s likely a scam!
2️⃣ Urgency tactics ⏰⚠️: “Act now or your package won’t be delivered!” 🚨 Scammers love creating panic.
3️⃣ Suspicious links 🔗🚫: Don’t click! Fake links can steal your info. Always hover to check the URL.
4️⃣ Requests for payment 💳❌: Legit delivery services won’t ask for extra fees via text or email.
5️⃣ Spelling errors ✏️🤦‍♂️: Bad grammar or odd phrasing? 🚩 That’s a major red flag!

✅ How to Check for Your Package the Right Way:
📦 Go to the source: Visit the official website (e.g., USPS, FedEx, UPS) and track your package using your tracking number.
📧 Verify with your retailer: Log in to your account where you ordered the item (Amazon, etc.) to confirm shipping details.
📞 Contact customer service: Unsure about a message? Call the delivery company’s official support line for confirmation.
🔒 Enable account notifications: Opt for updates directly from the retailer or delivery company—no third parties needed.

🎯 Pro Tip: If you receive a suspicious message, don’t interact. Take a screenshot and report it to the company or https://t.co/8nqb0k50HR.

Stay alert, stay safe, and don’t let scammers ruin your day! 🚀✨
