i want to bring in msnbc legal analyst ted shaw, professor at the university of north carolina. mr. shaw, let's start with the supreme court order that we received late friday. justice samuel alito ordered county officials to comply with a directive from the secretary of state, requires them to separate the mail-in ballots that arrived after election day but before friday at 5 p.m. it does not order the state to stop counting them as the republicans wanted them to. what are the chances that those ballots don't get counted? >> well, it's hard to tell at this point. the order to separate these ballots i think takes account the fact that if they're not separated, once they're counted in, they're in the stream and you can't go back and undo that. so i guess that's trying to have it both ways, to preserve the status quo with respect to the ballots that might be in question and at the same time continue to count. >> it would seem as if, professor shaw, the campaign strategy so far from a legal standpoint is to continue counting votes in some states but to stop the counting in others. is th

as president james buchanan visited the university of north carolina, king's alma mater, where he invoked the memory of his friend. by then, with the rubble of this union growing louder, his friendship with king must've seen a distant -- seemed a distant memory. with each passing year, it obtained a sentimental gloss. the inauguration of james buchanan must've been among the happiest days of his administration. in retrospect, it was more or less downhill from there. historians have commonly identified four major failures of the buchanan administration. first, the supreme court case in 1857, which buchanan not only supported, but secretly influenced. secondly, his role in the feud with stephen douglas over the compton constitution, which began in supported and douglas rejected. that divided the democratic party and arguably led to its breakup in 1860. third, buchanan's handling of the utah war of 1858 in which the president sent the army west in a territory settled by a few thousand mormons. finally and most importantly, his handling of the crisis -- secession crisis. harshlyjudged him mor

there is a professor of public health at the university of north carolina who wrote a book about this, saying that many of these mandates and guidelines fixate on behaviors and settings where the actual risk is very low. fleeting public and counters, surface-based transmission, beach visits. so we need to stop -- to paraphrase bill, we need to stop pretending you can eliminate all risk, which you can't. lockdowns merely delay the virus, nothing more. stop acting like you can get rid of the virus by these unscientific decrees. but i do think it gets to politicians. i think they run for these offices in the first place because they like to lecture, hector, and shame working men and women in this country. the long-term results of them shutting these businesses down, in places like los angeles county, with his new restaurant order, they are putting restaurants out of business. there is going to be long term pain for individuals' livelihoods and for this nation, because they simply don't know what they're doing, these politicians. >> harris: well, and many of them, gillian, just use califo

received a tremendous gift in the mid of my career, i got to go to graduate school at the university of north carolina, obtained a degree in history to teach history and i think it's -- this is the adult education model. in the military. we have it already. you have alcohol length experiences as a young person and then educational experience that allows you to reflect on experiences and prepare for future responsibilities and to learn, to learn about life, about in this case for me, military history, and which i felt quite relevant to my career. >> it may be that flag officers and senior field grade officer inside the american military are among the most educated, most acutely both trained and educated individuals in our entire society. then outside of the military, though the awareness of the military and mill -- military culture goes down quickly there's a disconnect. how would you solve that. >> i think we have to allow people to move more nudely and easily between the approve -- fluidly and ease by ten at the private sector, military, and academia. personnel policies that make super ease you to do

the executive director of the cent a fin for nation technology and public life at the university of north carolina at chapel hill and she joins us now catherine unprecedented numbers of mail in ballots and the number of problems already very obvious across several states let me start by asking you how has malan voting this time and gone well enough to be seen as an adjustment not only by the politicians but more important by the electorate. absolutely i think what we've seen could be described as a miracle except that i know exactly how many human hands and how much effort have gone into making it work smoothly we saw the number of people voting by mail approximately triple the selection over the 2800 midterm and despite that we're seeing ordinary levels of correctable errors that are being corrected and are allowing people to get those ballots catherine there are also a number of other methods of voting being used to say because of the pandemic drive through voting for instance i say the republicans wanted something like 120000 votes thrown out in texas a federal court has now refuse that request

the executive director of the center for information technology and public life at the university of north carolina at chapel hill she explains how the corona virus could contribute to a delay in the announcement of results i think the pandemic is absolutely changed how we vote and i believe that those changes change always creates some degree of uncertainty and i think election officials have been very careful to communicate how those changes are happening how they're securing the vote and how they're serving voters in this time unfortunately the fact that that uncertainty is still present allows bad actors to be able to for there so that uncertainty i think as an elections community we've been working really really hard to ensure that voters have faith in the system but yes we're seeing challenges to that and people taking advantage of the novelty factor to try to undermine trust in our voting process. the rule in elections is everything varies based on what state you're talking about i'm here in north carolina where the election boards have been counting mail ballots and been counting early vote
