Mark Robinson's lawsuit, plus sources of election misinformation and a call for political war

from NC Capitol Wrap

North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson is suing CNN for defamation. Multiple lawyers, including the man who won $1.4 billion from Alex Jones and InfoWars, spoke with WRAL about the lawsuit's chances of success and what more we can expect from legal procedings before the election. Meanwhile, NC voters set a new record for the first day of early voting even amid new efforts to spread misinformation about elections and Hurricane Helene. Some Democratic members of Congress think Russia and China may be behind some of the misinformation; Republican Party officials were also dinged by a federal judge for their own claims about election integrity, which underpinned a lawsuit he said could harm democracy in North Carolina. We catch up on the news surrounding the attorney general race and Michele Morrow's campaign for superintendent of schools, plus former Gov. Pat McCrory's new voter-trust initiative.
