I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

The Food and Drug Administration is expected to authorize the first vaccines in the coming weeks, and federal officials have said states will begin receiving doses 24 hours after they’re approved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state is drawing guidance for its overall distribution plan from the National Academy of Sciences, which recommends prioritizing people according to three main criteria: those who are at high risk of getting the virus; those most likely to suffer complications or to die if they become sick; those whose illness could have a negative impact on society.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This third principle — societal impact — is what puts health care workers in the top tier: If a doctor or paramedic is out sick for three or four weeks, their absence impacts the well-being of the community in a much more profound way than, say, a sick video game designer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The details of these distribution plans are left to individual states to decide and implement, and California officials have emphasized that fairness and equity are top goals. They’ve established an advisory group comprised of 70 community organizations and medical associations to provide input.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We must work together to ensure that vulnerable Californians, those most at risk, have equitable access to the vaccine,” said Dr. Erica Pan, acting state public health officer. “All of our preparations for the vaccine are guided by the need for safety, equity and transparency in the process.” [ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Which Health Care Workers Get Priority?\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The state is applying the same principles to deciding which health care workers should be prioritized over others — chance of getting it, chance of a bad outcome, societal impact of getting it — and adding three additional criteria to the consideration: the type of health care facility, the location of the facility and the characteristics of the people who work there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, California’s draft plan puts acute care hospitals and congregate care facilities, like nursing homes and assisted living, at the top of its list since those workers are most at risk of contracting the disease. Primary care clinics and dental offices are lower down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the state has more than 1 million staff working at acute care hospitals alone, so the first shipment of vaccine may not cover everyone even in the state’s top tier of medical providers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11848982\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1632px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11848982 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/Screen-Shot-2020-11-27-at-6.30.04-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1632\" height=\"1164\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/Screen-Shot-2020-11-27-at-6.30.04-PM.png 1632w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/Screen-Shot-2020-11-27-at-6.30.04-PM-800x571.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/Screen-Shot-2020-11-27-at-6.30.04-PM-1020x728.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/Screen-Shot-2020-11-27-at-6.30.04-PM-160x114.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/Screen-Shot-2020-11-27-at-6.30.04-PM-1536x1096.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1632px) 100vw, 1632px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A chart of health care workers by facility type. \u003ccite>(California Department of Public Health)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>From there, the state might consider the location of the facility using principles of equity and the state’s “vulnerability index,” which measures social determinants of health in neighborhoods, like access to housing, education and transportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Let’s say we say acute care hospitals get first pass,” Brooks said. “There are five in L.A. County. So should it go to the three that are in a low- to moderate-income area, versus somewhere that’s a higher income?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the state decides hospitals in low-income areas get priority, then officials further narrow the decision by looking at which employees in those hospitals should get it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What personal characteristics would we look at?” Brooks asked, at a recent meeting of the community advisory committee. “Occupation, age, gender, race and ethnicity, co-morbid conditions?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Occupation and age are the most likely, he added, since the state has more reliable, actionable data on those categories. This suggests nurses and EMTs would get the vaccine before hospital janitors or drivers, and older nurses might get priority over younger nurses. [aside tag=\"vaccine, covid-19\" label=\"more coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>None of this has actually been decided yet. The state gathered feedback from community stakeholders at an advisory committee meeting on Nov. 25, and Gov. Gavin Newsom indicated a more formal plan for health care workers could be presented as early as Dec. 1.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But this is just the beginning. Once health care workers are vaccinated, the state will have to decide how to allocate the next shipments of vaccines among the elderly, essential workers, prison inmates, teachers, children and everyone else. The majority of Californians will not be vaccinated until spring or summer 2021.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re having this discussion because there won’t be enough vaccine for everyone,” Brooks told the committee. “What I want the community vaccine advisory to focus on is ensuring that we have a process in place to allocate accordingly and ensure that that process is fair.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Primary care clinics and dental offices are lower down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the state has more than 1 million staff working at acute care hospitals alone, so the first shipment of vaccine may not cover everyone even in the state’s top tier of medical providers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11848982\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1632px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11848982 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/Screen-Shot-2020-11-27-at-6.30.04-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1632\" height=\"1164\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/Screen-Shot-2020-11-27-at-6.30.04-PM.png 1632w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/Screen-Shot-2020-11-27-at-6.30.04-PM-800x571.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/Screen-Shot-2020-11-27-at-6.30.04-PM-1020x728.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/Screen-Shot-2020-11-27-at-6.30.04-PM-160x114.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/Screen-Shot-2020-11-27-at-6.30.04-PM-1536x1096.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1632px) 100vw, 1632px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A chart of health care workers by facility type. \u003ccite>(California Department of Public Health)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>From there, the state might consider the location of the facility using principles of equity and the state’s “vulnerability index,” which measures social determinants of health in neighborhoods, like access to housing, education and transportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Let’s say we say acute care hospitals get first pass,” Brooks said. “There are five in L.A. County. So should it go to the three that are in a low- to moderate-income area, versus somewhere that’s a higher income?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the state decides hospitals in low-income areas get priority, then officials further narrow the decision by looking at which employees in those hospitals should get it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What personal characteristics would we look at?” Brooks asked, at a recent meeting of the community advisory committee. “Occupation, age, gender, race and ethnicity, co-morbid conditions?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Occupation and age are the most likely, he added, since the state has more reliable, actionable data on those categories. This suggests nurses and EMTs would get the vaccine before hospital janitors or drivers, and older nurses might get priority over younger nurses. \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Election officials and voting advocates reported long lines in Fresno, Merced, Riverside, Sacramento, San Joaquin and Santa Clara counties. Spacing was to blame in many locations, as social distancing requirements limited the number of voters who could enter the facilities and cast ballots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“That’s really what caused the lines,” said Brandi Orth, Fresno County clerk and registrar of voters and president of the California Association of Clerks and Election Officials. “We just couldn’t get as many people physically in the locations as we could in March.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And in Imperial and Kern counties, voters who arrived at polling places without their vote-by-mail ballots, expecting to vote in-person, were forced to cast provisional ballots, said Julia Gomez, attorney at the ACLU of Southern California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s because the counties lacked the ability to check in real time if a voter’s mail-in ballot had already been cast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Going forward we could avoid this problem with more public education and making sure that these counties have the technology,” Gomez said. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>What’s Next for Voting\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In future elections, the state could also do more to expand language assistance for voters who lack English proficiency, such as Somali speakers in San Diego, Gomez said. A 2019 lawsuit forced the state to provide election materials in 14 additional languages this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the wish list of some county officials: A revision of the state’s ballot collection laws, a hotbed of partisan debate.

One solution could be to scan and process a voter’s ballot while they are present, as Shasta County did this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beyond addressing the issues that voters faced this year, lawmakers and election officials anticipate that many of the changes to voting brought on by COVID-19 could become permanent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Despite the pandemic, this turned out to be a very successful election year and could very well serve as a model, not just for statewide adoption going forward, but for states across the country,” Padilla said. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This week, Assemblyman Berman \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11846789/who-should-get-the-coronavirus-vaccine-first\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">announced that he will introduce legislation\u003c/a> to mail every registered voter a ballot in all future elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“I think it is important to move in the direction of making this permanent because more and more voters are getting used to the convenience of voting by mail,” Berman said. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many counties, including Alameda, San Francisco and Sonoma, may opt in to the Voters Choice Act in future elections and leave neighborhood polling places in the past.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, the biggest hurdle is the current requirement to open vote centers for 11 days before the election which many registrars see as a waste of money for the amount of foot traffic they anticipate that far in advance of Election Day. This year, that requirement was reduced to three days of early voting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More broadly, election officials in California disagree over the future need for in-person voting, given voters’ increasing preference for voting by mail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Berman said he opposes eliminating in-person voting in California, and advocates argue that voting locations are essential for voters who aren’t comfortable with mail-in voting, along with those who require language assistance at the polls. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But under the hybrid system used this fall, counties are “doing two elections in parallel,” said Scott Konopasek, assistant registrar of voters in Contra Costa County. He said voting by mail cost his county nearly twice as much as in-person voting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“You’re doing an in-person election as if everyone’s going to show up in-person, and then you’re doing a vote-by-mail election as if everyone is going to vote by mail,” he said.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2020, counties could tap the extra funding made available by Congress for pandemic-related election preparations. But as they prepare for 2022, local officials could be forced to reckon with tighter state budgets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“If you want to keep that [voter turnout] increase then you need to be looking hard and fast at providing the options for counties to successfully implement some version of this process that we just did,” said Joe Holland, registrar of voters in Santa Barbara County.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“Sure elections are expensive, but how darn important is it?” he added. “What’s a more important government function than securing our democracy?”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

In addition to the presidential race, where Democratic candidate Joe Biden won roughly twice as many votes as President Trump, state voters also weighed in on a dozen state ballot measures on issues ranging from criminal justice reform to rent control and the gig economy. Voters overwhelmingly passed Proposition 22, an initiative that app-based companies Uber, Lyft and DoorDash spent more than $200 million on to keep their drivers classified as independent contractors instead of employees. Voters also passed Proposition 17 to allow people on parole for felony convictions the right to vote, but they rejected Proposition 25, which would have ended cash bail in California.

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden led in all four states although his razor-thin lead in Georgia will trigger a recount, according to state officials. Biden also leads President Trump by more than 4 million in the popular vote and now boasts the largest number of votes cast for a U.S. presidential candidate, a record first set by Barack Obama in 2008. President Trump meanwhile has made baseless assertions from the White House and on Twitter alleging widespread voter fraud and accused Democrats of trying to “steal” the election as his campaign has filed a flurry of lawsuits to halt or challenge ballot counting in battleground states, along with demanding a recount in Wisconsin.

That’s in contrast with other platforms that link directly to election results, or company statements about misleading and inaccurate information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A YouTube spokeswoman responded that the platform takes down livestreams that violate its community guidelines, in accordance with established policies \u003ca href=\"https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2801973?hl=en\">prohibiting spam, deceptive practices and scams\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All search results and videos about this election are accompanied by an information panel noting that election results may not be final and linking to Google’s election results feature. The language is similar to what other companies are using,” wrote YouTube’s Ivy Choi. “The vast majority of elections-related queries are surfacing authoritative sources and the majority of time, borderline content and harmful misinformation are not widely recommended by our systems.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what happens when a company fails to address flagged misinformation?

Marshaling those eight members on a particular issue gives progressives an open road to author their preferred laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That supermajority can be tenuous, however, said David Campos, chair of the San Francisco Democratic Party and a former supervisor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If the other side can split you off and siphon you off, your leverage is diminished,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while votes are still being counted, this November’s election may shift the balance of power. While no one is calling out “checkmate,” a few vital rooks may be knocked off the board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At least one new ally to the mayor is on a firm path to the board after voting concluded Tuesday, while another of Breed’s allies is only dozens of votes away from winning, with some San Franciscans clicking the “refresh” button on the Department of Elections’ website repeatedly — and nervously — as officials continue to count mail-in ballots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Myrna Melgar, a former Planning Commission president who is a progressive Democrat, declared herself winner after the latest ballot count showed her leading her closest opponent, Joel Engardio, by seven points.

"content": "\u003cp>Californians approved a ballot measure to expand the state’s landmark Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) of 2018. The measure was passing with 56% of the vote on Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proposition 24 – also known as the California Privacy Rights and Enforcement Act of 2020 – will create a new state agency to enforce the CCPA. It will also create different tiers of data, levying stiffer fines on the misuse of “sensitive” data, like location or race. However, only companies that buy and sell the data from at least 100,000 customers a year would have to comply.\u003cbr>\n[aside label=\"More on Proposition 24\" link1='https://www.kqed.org/voterguide/proposition-24-data-privacy,Proposition 24: Should California change its data privacy law?' link2='https://www.kqed.org/elections/results#californiapropositions,Proposition 24: Live Election Results' hero=https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/2020/10/KQED-Election-2020-Aside-Prop-24.png]\u003cbr>\n“We are at the beginning of a journey that will profoundly shape the fabric of our society by redefining who is in control of our most personal information and putting consumers back in charge of their own data,” said Alastair Mactaggart, chair of Californians for Consumer Privacy and Proposition 24’s sponsor. “I’m looking forward to the work ahead and the next steps in implementing this law, including setting up a commission that is dedicated to protecting consumers online.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CCPA, which took effect in January of this year, requires companies to disclose what data they are collecting while allowing consumers to limit or stop collection. Under the legislation, however, consumers can sue companies only if negligence led to the exposure of their data. Otherwise, the option to litigate remains with the state attorney general’s office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The general outlines of the CCPA owe much to what was originally a ballot proposition also backed Mactaggart, a Bay Area real estate developer, in 2018.
