introducing new rules and regulations into the election process at this time. as we just saw, more than 1 million georgians have already cast their ballots but election officials have been preparing to conduct the general election for months and introducing a brand new set of procedures that would complicate especially that critical post-election period is just not something that you want to do a few weeks out from an election but it's more than that. the georgia state elections board is a regulatory body. their job is to issue regulations consistent with georgia state law to increase uniformity in election administration across the counties and what the majority that adopted these rules did is go way beyond the requirements of what georgia laws require and that's the job of the legislature, not at the state elections board so that the that the superior court judge has struck down these measures supreme court may or may not

take this case. >> does just being in this space right now potentially gum up the outcome of georgia's participation in this us presidential race. >> it's certainly introduces a lot of confusion in the process for both election officials and members of the public the rules of the road for an election are supposed to be set well in advance. and having these kind of back-and-forth judicial decisions. and last-minute, i think secretary raffensberger called them 11th hour rule change changes from the state election board is not good for voters. it's not good for election administrators. and that's why i would be surprised if the georgia supreme court steps in to reinstate these rules now, because all the lower courts have done is returned us to the status quo before the state election board started interfering in the post-election process? this is an if the supreme court does not take it up, well, i guess

doesn't have to be verbalized before election day. >> yes. we are taking it up. know we're not or can it just be that they just say nothing and it's presumed that the lower court ruling stays. well. >> judicial ruling from the fulton county superior court is the lie is binding until the georgia supreme court says that it's not. so if they take up the case, but don't rule until after election day the orders as they stand. now will remain and these state election board rules will continue, not to be enforced. >> interesting. all right. jonathan dias. thank you so much for breaking it all down for us even further. >> thank you all right. >> and for more information about voting in your state check out the election center 2024, voter handbook available now at cnn cnn.com this election season, cnn has you covered, no matter the question from more about the candidates to rules in your state to casting your ballot. >> there then voter handbook has your answers. visit cnn.com slash vote for yours

people managing it's really difficult because as you know, fred, the longer situation goes on like this, just a tougher and tougher it gets so people for singer having to throw food out, that sub being under spoil. >> we just drove around the last few hours around vanna. we saw really long bread lines people upset because not everyone, of course so was able to get bread died after waiting for hours. so this is something that cubans are used to it as an island that is all too familiar were shortages. and yet this feels very, very different. officials say they are working around the clock to restore power last night, there were some pockets of the island where power had briefly been restored. they say that they've started restoring power again after again, the national system collapses morning. so you do have these little pockets of electricity that people have for a couple of hours maintaining though whose pockets and expanding it to the rest of the island is gonna be

very, very difficult because these are power plants that are old, that are not poorly maintained. >> the human the government blames us sanctions for the fact they have not been able to maintain them wealth for over a decade. so this is a problem that really doesn't catch anyone by surprise. and then as well, because of the region it's an hurricanes. the government says they've been unable to bring in diesel fuel, which they need to run, allow these power plants diesel fuel that is often donated by countries like russia and venezuela. so you really get. the sense that people are on their final string here and while people remain calm, the longer this goes on, the harder it gets, more tense gaetz. and as we get into the afternoon, it's looking more and more likely that we will go another night without power and having been up all night last night, it's just not pleasant. you don't sleep well and, you know, i'm paid to do it so it's okay. but for everyone else here it's really hitting

them quite hard. so hopefully it'll be restored soon in yet no indications that at this point it will be. yeah. >> very miserable and about to be even more so with a day three without power there and cuba. thank you so much, patrick oppmann. appreciate it. heart in some more potentially bad news for cuba, a new storm, oscar formed earlier today and is now a category one hurricane. the turks and caicos and southeast bahamas are already under hurricane warnings. while small in size, oscar is expected to bring up to 95 miles per hour. in heavy rain dangerous storm surge in the turks and caicos before oscar drifts west toward cuba. meanwhile, there are growing concerns over fire danger in california. cnn meteorologist tyler mauldin joins us with more on what's happening out west continue to watch for the threat of fires in central and southern california, nearly 16

million californians are under a red flag warning. what's the culprit is the strong gusty wind coming in from the northeast at times, the wind could gust as high as 45 miles per hour. and that's bringing in that drier air, which is the fuel for the fires. good news though, that strong dry winds will subside once we get into early next week. now, the eastern two-thirds of the country, dominated by this high pressure that's leading to very tranquil, quiet weather for this portion of the country, can't say the same for the southern high plains and the rockies though, an area, a weather system some is moving over this leading to heavy rainfall for portions of eastern new mexico going on into the rockies. and these areas will see shower after shower and potentially strong thunderstorms move over the same area that will lead to the pitch interval for that flash flooding. we could also see in some areas get this even though it's october, we could see snowfall amounts in the higher elevations of more than two feet now, where it does rain and it rains nonstop, that

could lead to that flash flash flooding event here. all that rain is moving over a burn scar, which is a recipe for the potential for flooding now across the pacific northwest, we have our first atmospheric river event coming our way. that will be a level four out of five risk for this atmospheric river leading to very heavy rainfall across the pacific northwest. maybe even some snowfall and the cascades keep it here on cnn. we've got more news after the break have i got news for you, tonight at nine on cnn lactate is 100% real melt just without the lactose delicious to just ask my old friend kevin now going like enjoying a coal one while watching the game milk, real delicious and don't forget to try some delicious creamy lactate ice cream

today, they can help you get started with your idea called now 807, 1000 100020 all right, fast-moving wildfires historic and devastating flooding supercharged hurricanes, wiping communities totally off the map. climate change is not a future threat, but a daily reality. and one california college is taking a bold move in an effort to combat it. us. i mean, you see rather san diego has become the first major public college in the u.s. to require undergraduate students across all majors to take a course on climate change. that's about 7,000 students wayne yang is a professor and provost of uc san diego's muir. muir college, named after the environmentalist writer, founder of the sierra club, john viewer. all right, professor good to see you. you spearheaded this initiative why was this important to uc san diego right.

>> thank you so much, fredricka want many people on the shoulders of giants uc san diego started with started climate change science with the keeling curve. >> so is charles david keeling, who's that's why we know how much carbon is in atmospheres because of his work. so but this is really a student-driven initiative. it was the number one issue with our students before covid. and this requirements unusual because it's the only time we've ever asked you to south for their opinion to be honest, we don't ask them if they want to take calc sign it. but this went before our students for a vote. it was unanimous and there trying to spread the word to other universities so far i will say yeah but, you know, we've given them a big problem and we feel like we should give them every solution possible. and so we would like them to have the full backing of their education to solve climate change i mean, there are 40 different classes that, that could be used to fulfill this requirement so what are among the things that we're talking

about yeah i, mean any major you could study this. >> so if you're a business major economics, you can study the economics of climate change, which is incredibly important if we need an economic structure that helps us solve it one of my favorite courses isn't computer science and engineering. professor leo porter teaches this class that takes our devices and everywhere from the life cycle, the advice from extraction all the way to use and disposal, and how, what the carbon footprint is. every stage so that we can learn how to reduce that we've got biology courses and climate change. we just hosted the second heat and human health summit with all the doctors from kaiser in the nearby hospitals obviously, urban planning, we can study climate solutions for regional transportation. but even in arts and humanities and writing programs, so are currently we have a couple thousand students reading climate optimism so i think the idea is that there

isn't one solution for climate change. there's 100 solutions, yeah. >> so we're hoping to get your courses okay. so i'm in california, obviously, no stranger to the impacts of climate change is it your hope that all colleges, universities in california or even perhaps across the country will adopt similar requirements. >> yeah, i would say even across the world. so as part of the cop summit on climate talks, climate educations at the floor and were actually hoping we can take a lead role in that but i'm getting reached out. i just got off the phone with san diego state yesterday from a university in santa cruz and santa barbara see davis people all over the country reached out about this is a lot of excitement we need everyone on board. >> it really, it's all hands on deck to solve this problem. and it's not going to come from one university, one college, or one course so important. >> what are the students telling you? >> oh, they're, i mean, you can see them glowing about it.

they're always ready to talk the news actually about it. and what they're saying is that it's prior to this, they knew climate change is a problem. the question is, what do you do about it so they want to know what can their education do to prepare them for these. there's gonna be a future jobs solving climate change that don't even exist yet. and so we're trying to get there yeah. alright. well, what an incredible start at what a great stab. at being solution driven. professor way the gang. thank you so much all the best to you and all of your students who are now enjoying this great big new endeavor. >> great thanks so much for your time. >> thank you all right. >> singer liam payne's family and friends and fans, they're still trying to make sense of the devastating loss of the singer who fell to his death this week from a hotel balcony. and what is erez? earth gibbons, the sister of the former one direction singer,
