the state of georgia. tomorrow voters there will choose their senator, the second time in two years. georgia senate race has come out to an election. warnock is leading slightly as he faced off against his republican challenger herschel walker. early voting ends friday but not before 1.8 million people cast their ballots. more on that key race and what it means and where it stands in just a moment. we're following this story, 35,000 people in the dark. a major investigation underway in north carolina after two power substations were damaged by gunfire over the weekend. the fbi now on the scene. officials say it could take days to restore elect ris the to the area. >> alarming attack. but we begin with dianne gallagher, following the georgia runoff from atlanta. less than 24 hours until polls open on election day. in fact, we've already had
7:02 am
election days leading up to this, close to 2 million people who voted already. what do we see happening from the candidates today? >> reporter: you know, jim, it is a final countdown here. really just a matter of hours for these campaigns to convince what is left of the millions of people who haven't voted already to show up to the polls tomorrow. now, both campaigns are really blitzing. super charging schedules today. senator warnock who kept a pack schedule, he's sticking around the atlanta area. herschel walking who has had a much lighter schedule during this four-week runoff, he has five different events in the north georgia area. many of them places where he underperformed. republican governor brian kemp in the general election, it is all about turnout here. >> are you ready to win this election. >> reporter: democratic senator raphael warnock and his
7:03 am
challenger herschel walker spending the closing days getting out what is left of the vote. >> if you don't have a friend. go make a friend and get them out to vote. >> reporter: with more than 1.85 million ballots already cast, the incumbent democrat warning supporters not to leave anything on the field. >> we are on the verge of victory. but i don't want us to do the victory dance before we actually get into the end zone. >> reporter: warnock leaning on his senate record and sharpening his criticism of walker's fitness for office and personal background. >> he was an amazing running back. and he will need those skills because come tuesday, we're going to send him running back to texas where he actually lives. >> reporter: walker, a georgia football legend taking advantage of the bulldogs playing the s.e.c. championship game in atlanta, meeting fans at a tailgate on saturday but playing the role of a underdog on sunday
7:04 am
as fueled by out of state money. >> the money comes from california and didn't even come from georgia. >> our president was in massachusetts and he was campaigning for senator warnock because the way he votes he thought he was a massachusetts senator. >> reporter: as the remaining days turn into just hours, in an election fatigued state where they're asking for voters once again. >> the whole world is watching georgia one more time. >> reporter: the whole world is watching georgia one more time. and i spoke to a woman yesterday at the herschel walker rally and she told me it feels like we're always voting here in this state. and that is a battle that both campaigns acknowledge they play to deal with. election fatigue. when we talk about that old political adage, it may all come down to turnout, that is likely true here in georgia. an interesting statistic, looking at those more than
7:05 am
1.85 million votes, roughly a third of them come from black voters so far. that is something that the warnock campaign has paid very close attention to and has them feeling good going into tomorrow. >> that poll an enormous advantage from black voters for the candidate. joining us now, host of the you decide podcast and jackie sissin itch, for the daily beast. nice to see you both this morning. there are super charged schedules for candidates in georgia today which you would expect the day before election day. i'm curious, errol, what are you watching for in this final push from the two candidates? >> i'mv very curious to which te extent senator warnock is going after the estimated 200,000 or so voters who cast split ballots in the first round or the second round if you want to call it that in the general election
7:06 am
earlier this month. meaning they voted for brian kemp, the republican. but then they did not vote for herschel walker. that is quite a lot and could be the margin of victory. is his appeal to those people, as he tries to target them, is he trying to find them geographically and ideology, i think that is going to tell the story when the dust settles after tomorrow. >> all right. we'll wait for the dust to settle. jackie, i do want to talk about something that is going to have enormous impact in 2024 and that is the change on the democratic side of the primary calendar. iowa, which has had an influence for decades, out as the first in the nation. south carolina in. that has a enormous implications going forward. you could explain the change. if you look back at to 2020, it was south carolina that paved the way for joe biden as the democratic nominee. what does it mean going forward for the democratic party? >> so as someone in iowa on election night in 2020, there
7:07 am
really was, because of the problems with their voting system, i don't think of us who were there that night when we knew that we weren't going to go to bed and knew who the winner was for several days thought that iowa was going to remain where it was in the primary schedule. there is also a lot of other things that have to do with demographics. now, one thing to note about south carolina, because of their role with biden, because of jim clyburn and his role with getting biden where he is, he does have a lot of clout but this isn't without risk. politico made a good point saying south carolina was place where you got to watch how things were handled in nevada and iowa and in new hampshire and they were seeing, as the ones that are picking the winner, not necessarily the ones who were calling the huge field of candidates. now that is assuming that the role is going to be the same and it is going to be handled the same as it has been for years as
7:08 am
far as like whether that is a calling state or not. but i do think it is not without risk that they're not seen as king makers as they have been for so long in this process. >> and jim, you noted there is the connection for president biden and in terms of what happened for him in south carolina. as we look at this, though, errol, if there is a chance that president biden is not the nominee in 2024, if there is a chance, who else would this benefit in terms of democrats, this shift to south carolina first? >> well it is very interesting i can't give you a name but the kind of candidate it will advantage. this nationalizes the very early days of the democratic primary calendar in a way that we haven't seen in over a generation and what that means is it will advantage anybody who has the wherewithal, the backing, the logistics and the
7:09 am
legal support to element simultaneously pull off primary and caucus efforts in south carolina and in nevada and in new hampshire. and so the days of like a jimmy carter in 1976 kind of quietly building up some support and developing some momentum, the days of an under-funded barack obama in 2007 kind of quietly laying some groundwork, those days will be over. you have to be able to sort of effectively run a national campaign from day one and that means underfunded first time candidates or long shot candidates, i think are going to be at a serious disadvantage. >> jackie, the voter makeup among democrats in the two states is remarkably difference. iowa versus south carolina. what influence will that have going forward? >> well, so south carolina obviously demographically, much more african american. and that -- and iowa very much not so.
7:10 am
it is extremely a white state. and you've seen some of the home state senators in iowa really react strongly about biden leaving the midwest. but, hey, let's be honest, the power center of the democratic party is with black voters. so the fact that this is very much -- this is where biden wants to begin the contest, that absolutely makes sense and it is, again, showing the influence that state has because of where they put biden in 2020. >> errol lewis and jackie, from the "boston globe," thank you both for being here this morning. >> a lot of politics to watch. jennifer granholm is calling the massive power out age in north carolina as serious and they're working with the fbi and local law enforcement investigating. more than 35,000 people remain
7:11 am
without power. authorities are calling this an intentional attack. after finding two electrical substations, you could see them there, were damaged by gunfire. whitney wild is live in moore county, north carolina. do they have a sense of motive? why someone laid into the substations with gunfire? >> reporter: we don't know. what law enforcement has said at this press conference yesterday when they were going through some of the details and information that they've been watching is that there had been chatter on social media that this was somehow connected to a drag show that was scheduled to take place around the same time that the power weren't out in moore county. the drag show in moore county. will you law enforcement not prepared to say the two events are connected. they have no evidence to suggest this was a reaction to that or was an attempt to try to shut that down. so that remains an open question at this point. nothing more than social media
7:12 am
rumors. but the fbi is involved and the state bureau of investigation. this is an all hands on deck situation here. as many law enforcement locally try to investigate why someone would go this and how they committed this crime. so what law enforcement is prepared to say at this point is that, yes, someone did open fire on the two substations and one of the substations it appears that a gate was taken off the hinge, so perhaps someone got close enough to one of the substations to open fire. that is still an open question at the other substation. but the reality is they were able to cause millions of dollars worth of damage. and this is going to be a long process to restore customers. at this point a spokesperson for duke energy said the good news is they've been able to get power back to around 7,000 people overnight. so now that number of people out of power hovers around 33,000. which is good news because before it had been more than 40,000. so it seems to be ticking down a little bit. however, jim and erica, the problem here is that power is not going to be restored for the
7:13 am
majority of customers until thursday. back to you. >> whitney wild in north carolina, thank you so much. still to come, the supreme court taking up a major case over lgbtq rights and free speech. at the center of the case, a web designer posting a marriage that shed she is not willing to design websites for same-sex couples. later tampa police chief has resigned after she was caught on video flashing her badge aasking an officer to let her and her husband go during a traffic stop. and the government of iran is reviewing the country's mandatory hijab law. this is the veil that covers a woman's hair. this is state media played down claims that the morality police have been abolished after ongoing popular protests. ual cus your home insurance, here's one that'll really take you back. wow! what'd you get, ryan? it's customized home insurance from liberty mutual!!!

7:18 am
today the supreme court is set to hear arguments in the case of a colorado website designer to celebrate wedding but does not want to work with same-sex couples. >> this is four years after the court ruled 7-2 in favor of a colorado baker who refused to bake a cake for a same-sex wedding citing religious objections. jessica schneider joins us now from outside of the supreme court. so the court is saying it is going to look at this dispute through the lens of free speech, not religious freedom. which has been an issue of contention on similar questions before. what does that mean exactly for this case? >> reporter: well it means, jim, that the supreme court really could rule more broadly here and could finally determine whether certainly businesses could refuse to work with same-sex couples. you mentioned that colorado
7:19 am
baker case four years ago, the supreme court in this case did side with the baker saying that he doesn't need to make the cake for same-sex couples but that was decided on very narrow grounds. this case is much broader. this case involving that colorado website designer who said that she wants to post a message on ore website saying that she will not do any work for same-sex couples and they're wedding website specifically because she said that that messaging conflicts with her religious views and wants the supreme court to say that a colorado anti-discrimination law that said can you not discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation should not apply to her because it conflicts with her free speech, her ability to decide which messaging she wants to promote. the colorado a.g. has come down quite bluntly on this say saying once you open up your doors to the public, you have to serve everybody. and the aclu is warning about the broader implications here. writing this, saying if 303
7:20 am
created the website wins here we'll live in a world in which any business with an expressive service could put up a sign that said women not served, jews not served and black people not served and claim a first amendment right to do so. and there are people outside of the court as arguments have begun, not only big statements in this case but this is a big week for the supreme court. today is the website argument, gay rights and wednesday is a big case involving the independent state legislature theory that state legislatures on their own have ultimate power to prescribe election rules and procedures over state constitution and over state courts. now this is a theory that was pushed by many trump supporters in the 2020 election and the fear here is that the supreme court, if they side with the people pushing for the independent state legislature theory, that that could mean that these political body, these state legislatures will have full unchecked control over
7:21 am
everything involving elections. from absentee ballots in this case it is specifically addressing redistricting, so that is a big case that will be heard on wednesday. and in addition to the big gay rights free speech case being heard right now before the justices. guys. >> a lot of focus this week. jessica, appreciate it. thank you. these are impactful decisions. let's discuss now with jennifer rodgers, jennifer, if we could begin with this case about the website. so if i look at this a layman and if a baker can say i'm not going to bake for them because they're a same-sex couple and if someone designing a wedding website could say i'm not going to work for them because they're a same-sex couple, is that p precedent broad so that a restaurant could say i'm not going to let in same-sex couples or make other judgments based on what they claim is their religious beliefs. >> well not necessarily, jim.
7:22 am
because a restaurant doesn't have the same free speech claims this this plaintiff is asserting here. she's saying two things. she's saying i have a right to speak through my art, through my business. and a right to exercise my religious beliefs in the way that i want. a restaurant isn't is necessarily the same because they're not alleging constitutional rights when they serve food for money. but it is a very broad potential precedent in terms of the sort of business that she is. and there is a lot of businesses like this. people who are arguably creative, who do things that do implicate speech and frankly just about everyone can say that doing a business is problematic with respect to their religious rights. >> and so one thing to just help me understand, because she's saying this is both because of her religious views and also free speech is what she views but it is actually being -- so the court is looking at this as a free speech issue as opposed
7:23 am
to a religious freedom issue? >> yeah, it is what makes it different from the baker case arguably. the baker case was decidedond grounds that it didn't have to do with the first amendment. it was more of a procedural problem there. but what she's saying is that unlike a baker, you could argue about whether a baker is an artist and is expressing themselves when they make a cake, you can't argue that so much with someone who creates websites for a living, using speech and using creativity in a more obvious way. so it comes under the rubric of the first amendment more cleanly and that is why folks who are on the side of the plaintiff like this case. because they feel like it more squarely gets at the issue of whether the first amendment, when the first amendment butts up against an anti-discrimination law, what is going to win. >> let's talk about the other major case of a long list of major cases before this court. and this is the moore versus harper relates to independent state legislature theory which a
7:24 am
few years ago we might have considered a fringe theory and by the way one heespoused that is all about the legislature and they could overrule anybody when it comes to laws governing elections. what would the impact be on elections if the court were to grant or follow -- grant -- issue a decision that comes under this independent state legislature theory? >> well it could potentially have a very broad impact. this case is about partisan gerrymandering which is problematic enough and the notion that the legislature could do whatever it wants without being checked what the court systems is violating the state constitution is radical and unsupported, but would let state legislatures do whatever they want in that regard because the supreme court ruled recently that federal courts could not get involved in partisan gerrymandering. so there would be no check on that. but the theory goes potentially even more broad than that.
7:25 am
this motion that a state legislature can't be checked by the state court system, when if the legislature decided on a different slate of electors than the voters have chosen. there is no way to check that in the state system. that is where it is problematic when we look back at recent history to what former president trump and his supporters were trying to do to overturn the election. >> goodness. enormous potential effects. jennifer rodgers, thank you so much. >> thank you. tampa police chief resigning because of this body camera footage in which she flashed her badge. what else happened in those moments? stay with us. bye, bye cough. later chest congestion. hello 12 hours of relief.. 12 hours!! not coughing?

this just into cnn. tampa police chief mary o'connor has now stepped down after an investigation into a traffic stop she was involved in last month. >> o'connor had been placed on administrative leave since body cam footage from the incident was released to the public. here is a look at that encounter. >> is your camera on? >> it is. >> i'm the police chief in tampa. >> oh, how are you doing. >> i'm doing good. i'm hoping you'll just let us go tonight. >> oh, okay. you look familiar, so. >> i'm sure i do.
7:31 am
>> okay. so all right, folks. well, have a good night. >> we live in east lake, yes. >> all right. well it is nice to meet you. i'm deputy jacoby. >> same here, my friend. take care of yourself. sorry to bother you. >> no worries. no worries. like i say we have a lot of problem with the golf carting around here. >> we don't normally come out. >> but the club was closed so we went to the greek place to get? food. >> gotcha. all right. well then take care and it was nice meeting you. oh, all right. >> if you ever need anything, call me. serious. >> all right. appreciate this. >> thank you, thank for your service. >> thank you for yours. take care. >> cnn leyla santiago has been following the details. here is my badge and a card if you need anything call me. >> yeah. so there was this internal investigation and she's now resigned. what more do we know about what
7:32 am
happened here? >> reporter: well that entire exchange was under two minutes but that has now led to mary o'connor's resignation. she turned in a letter of resignation this morning. we read through that. we've also read through the documents attached to the internal investigation and in that internal investigation the city of tampa finds that she violated the tampa police department policies and that she compromised her and the city of tampa's professionalism and ethics by using her position of authority. want to read to you a direct statement from the mayor in which she said it is unacceptable for any public employee and the city's top law enforcement leader to ask for special treatment because of their position. public trust in tampa's police department is paramount to our success as a city and as a community. you know, the letter of resignation as well as even sort of synopsis of the interview
7:33 am
that the police department internal investigation had with mary o'connor, both revealed that she said that she was very apologetic, it was never her intent to sort of abuse any position of power, but clearly that was not enough for the city because she has now resigned and they are now mounting a national search for a new police chief. >> leyla santiago, appreciate it. thank you. well, los angeles county jurors set to resume deliberation in the sexual assault trial of harvey win steen. he pleaded not guilty to force able rape and sexual assault involving four women. >> you may remember in 2020 he was convicted of rape and a criminal sex act, in a trial in new york. the former major movie producer has been accused of using his influence to lure women into private meetings, claiming he'll help them and then assault them. cnn's camilla bernal joins us live with more. what do we expect from this the
7:34 am
latest trial? >> hey, jim and erica. i want to explain why this trial is so important. yes, we already know harvey weinstein is serving that 23 year sentence for a similar conviction in new york, but he is also appealing. case is los angeles is also a lot bigger. we're talking more accusers and more charges. in total he's facing seven different charges. two rape counts and five counts of sexual assault. so if convicted, he could face 60 years to life in prison, plus five years. and look, harvey weinstein is 70 years old so this could be the rest of his life in prison. he's maintained his innocence and said that he did not do this. he's pleaded not guilty. and his attorney saying that these accusations that the relationships were either consensual or they were fabricated. and the other hand you have the defense saying this is a man who used his power in hollywood to assault women. they say there is a pattern of rape. they said rapist rape.
7:35 am
and so this is all the stuff that the jury has to consider. they have heard from about 50 different witnesses. this is about a long trial. it started in late october. and they heard from all four of these accusers including the first lady of california jennifer newsom who said that harvey weinstein raped her. the defense attorneys saying this was consensual. what they say is regret is not the same as rape. so these are the things that the jury will be considering as they continue those deliberations today. and it will be interesting to see who this jury believes. >> keep us posted. thank you. >> thank you. still to come, iran's state media is playing down reports that the government has abolished the country's feared morality police. a top rated official said, however, the government is reviewing a mandatory hijab law. we'll have more. & bath fitter.

and help communities thrive. a top official in iran said that the iranian parliament and the judicial is pushing back on statements from the attorney general claiming the government is also abolishing the so-called morality police. those claims come after months of protests following the death of a young woman in police custody. the morality police as they're known detained mahsa amini for
7:41 am
just not wearing his hijab properly. she did not survive police custody. >> joining us nic robertson. so, nic, do we have a sense of what the real story is here. what is under review, whether things are likely to change? >> reporter: we do believe there is a review under way because the attorney general who said that on thursday is in charge of such a review but his comments on saturday, a couple of days later, to a question why is there less morality police on the streets over past few months and that, he doesn't have responsibility for the morality police. so it is hard to see if his talking about some aspirations that he has, or if there actually is some substance in this discussion. but it is surrounded in a lot of ambiguity. it is vague and you have different mp's and less reform
7:42 am
conservative mp's speaking to both sides of what may happen during this hijab -- so-called hijab review. we understand that the outcome of the review might become public within a couple of weeks. b but, you know, we all watch iranian politics and often it involved a degree of smoke and moorors so right now we do not have a clear picture of what is going on. but there seems to be? discussion. but it will likely fall very short of what the reformers want in iran. because three months ago they were zee manding the removal of the hijab and now the whole leadership of iran. so we're in an entirely different place. >> that is the question here, right now. we always have to inject skepticism with iranian leadership as you say a lot of smoke and mirrors but today's moderates were often yesterday's hardliners but the hardliners become more hard-line over time.
7:43 am
what has been the reaction from the leaders and the supporters of these protests that have begun nationally and as you say, have expanded beyond the issue of the hijab. >> i think they're being very cautious. they know the government could say one thing one day and then change it next day. so i don't think anyone is -- anyone on the street wanting to protest is fooled by the notion that there is a review and this is going to settle their grievances and that women will have a choice about wearing the hijab. there was a conservative lawmaker today, a woman who said if the hijab was removed that would be seen as iran enemies as a victory so this was really towards the islamic republic itself. remove the hijab and you take down the islamic republic.
7:44 am
so i think the protesters are aware of the objects in the path of their desires. >> it is a means of control, beyond supposed religious standards. it is a means of control of the population. nic robertson, good to have you covering. certain over-the-counter children's medications used to fight pain and fever, well their hard to find these days in many places because of the continuing surge of those respiratory illnesses we've been talking so much about. more details ahead. moisturizers & 3 vitamins to smooth, heaeal, and moisturize your dry skin. gold bonond. champion your skin. research shows peoplple remember commercials with nostalgia. so to help you remember that liberty mutual customizes your home insurance, here's one that'll really take you back. it's customized home insurance from liberty mutual!!! only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. lirty. liberty. ♪ not flossing well? then add the whoa!

as respiratory viruses like the flu and rsv continue, parents are finding it tough whether they need to buy some of the over-the-counter medications like children's painkillers. >> i've seen it. kroger one of the largest pharmacies said that our inventory of children's acetaminophen and ibuprofen are -- i had to find one last bottle last week. i've seen it. stores are empty. why and how long do the stores expect this to last? >> so the why part, we don't have a full answer. there have been supply chain issues since covid and all sorts of sectors and this appears to
7:50 am
be one of them. and in addition, we have rsv and still covid and also flu coming at us very strongly all at one time. so those have created unfortunately this perfect storm. and it is been a perfect storm for some parents. you heard what kroger had to say about drugs like tylenol and advil, motrin for children, in addition there have been issues with other kinds of drugs that treat the flu. let's take a look at pediatric flu hospitalizations and that will tell you something about the demand. that red line is hospitalization rate for elderly people. for over 65. right below it is the yellow line, that is children's 0 to 4. all of the other age ranges are below. so little children for hospitalizations rates for flu are second only to the elderly. i think people don't know that. little children could get very, very sick with the flu. and even when they don't get very sick, they're at home, guess what, children's version of things like tylenol and
7:51 am
motrin and advil. so th so the only thing to do is get your child vaccinated and don't hoard those meditations it will give you terrible mommy or daddy karma for the rest of your life. if will bite you later in life. don't do it no matter how tempts. it is real. no matter how tempt ed and this is happening against the back drop of a intense flu season. you could see almost the entire united states is in red and that means is that almost every state has high or very high levels of the flu. that is what we're facing right now. erica and jim. >> no hoarding. >> i did, i heard it. don't worry. the good news i don't need those any more. my kids are too old now. but if i have any, i'll send them your way. there is the karma angle, but we've looked at other supply chain issues sometimes the administration and government
7:52 am
could step in. is there anything that could be done here? >> nyou know, the biden administration said that we're monitoring these supply chain for critical medicines an the fda has said flat out, we can't tell a company to make more of a certain kind of medicine. we're doing our best but we can't direct a company to make mauer of a particular drug. so, in the end, it doesn't seem like there is a whole lot that they could do. let us cross our fingers that this doesn't become like the infant formula situation which was such a disaster for so many families. hopefully they can nip this in the bud somehow. >> yeah. absolutely. elizabeth cohen, appreciate it as always. thank you. coming up, so the u.s. men's team is out. that is too bad. but the world cup quarterfinal round is still going. qatar, a lot of great matches. japan just took the lead over croatia. it is still fun. we'll go live to doha next.

superstar neymar who has been in a race against time to recover from this ankle injury he suffered in the opening game. the coach said it would depend on the training session that he took part in on sunday night and coy tell you that the neymar himself posted on social media afterwards telling a little bit of james brown saying, i feel good. i knew that i would. it is quite hard to say that without bursting into song but i will resist. but that is certainly a huge boost for the team. on the day that pele's daughter emerging has done an interview with networks in brazil trying to allay some of the health concerns over the three-time world cup winner. the stories over the weekend i'm sure you saw had suggested that the 82-year-old had been moved to end of life or palliative care in hospital in brazil. his daughter has refuted that saying he's just recovering from
