ATLANTA — Gabriel Sterling, the voting implementation manager with the Georgia Secretary of State's office is mad. During an afternoon news conference on Tuesday, he was visibly shaken up about some of the threats some election workers have received.

"It's all gone too far," he said with a raised voice to start the event. "All of it."

It comes after a 20-year-old contractor for Dominion received death threats, Sterling said. He said the worker received threats with a noose on social media -- saying he should be hanged for treason. He said the tech was transporting a report for batches in Gwinnett County.

"He was just trying to do his job," Sterling said. "It's not right."

...Sterling called on everyone, including the President and senators to condemn this type of action.

"Mr. President, you have not condemned these actions or this language. Senators, you have not condemned this language or these actions. This has to stop! We need you to step up and if you're going to take a position of leadership - show some."

Dr. Mary Fowkes, a neuropathologist at Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan whose autopsies of Covid-19 victims early in the pandemic discovered serious damage in multiple organs — a finding that led to the successful use of higher doses of blood thinners to treat patients — died on Nov. 15 at her home in Katonah, N.Y., in Westchester County. She was 66. Her daughter, Jackie Treatman, said the cause was a heart attack.

When Dr. Fowkes (rhymes with “pokes”) and her team began their autopsies, little was known about the novel coronavirus, which was believed to be largely a respiratory disease. The first few dozen autopsies revealed that Covid-19 affected the lungs and other vital organs, and that the virus probably traveled through the body in the endothelial cells, which line the interior of blood vessels.

“We saw very small and very microscopic blood clots in the lungs, the heart, the liver — and significant blood clots in the brain,” Dr. Fowkes said in an interview on the CBS News program “60 Minutes” for a segment, broadcast on Nov. 22, on the long-term effects of Covid-19. She had been interviewed by the correspondent Anderson Cooper on Oct. 30, a little more than two weeks before her death. The clots in the brain suggested that there had been strokes, she told Mr. Cooper.

Mr. Cooper asked if she had expected to see the breadth of damage in so many organs. “No, not at all,” Dr. Fowkes said. “Nobody’s seen it like this.”

Dr. Fowkes “had a curious scientific mind and an uncompromising attitude to doing as many autopsies as possible to produce something that was unique,” Dr. Carlos Cordon-Cardo, chairman of the department of pathology, molecular and cell-based medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, said in a phone interview.

Talk radio host Howard Stern mocked the idea of President Trump starting a competitor network to Fox News upon leaving office, saying such a venture would collapse within a year.

"[If] he thinks running the country is hard, wait till he has to run a news network," Stern said on his Monday show, according to the New York Daily News. "That’ll fail inside of a year like all the other businesses. This is just insanity what’s going on."

...Stern, who was a friend of Trump's and frequently had him on as a guest before Trump entered politics, called on the president to concede the election gracefully.

“For once, do something good for the country. Calm down your f---ing loony hillbilly friends and tell them you lost the election and you’re going to help the transition,” Stern said Monday. “These loonies who follow you are all worked up. They think something was taken from them.”

WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump’s campaign on Sunday scrapped a major part of its federal lawsuit challenging the election results in Pennsylvania. Trump's attorneys filed a revised version of the lawsuit, removing allegations that election officials violated the Trump campaign's constitutional rights by limiting the ability of their observers to watch votes being counted.

Trump and Rudy Giuliani, his personal attorney, have said repeatedly that more than 600,000 votes in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh should be invalidated because of this issue.

Trump's pared-down lawsuit now focuses on allegations that Republicans were illegally disadvantaged because some Democratic-leaning counties allowed voters to fix errors on their mail ballots. Counties have said this affected only a small number of votes.

Cliff Levine, an attorney representing the Democratic Party in the case, said on Sunday evening that Trump's move meant his lawsuit could not possibly change the result.

"Now you're only talking about a handful of ballots," said Levine. "They would have absolutely no impact on the total count or on Joe Biden's win over Donald Trump."
