"content": "\u003cp>Speaking at a rally in Tampa, Florida, on Wednesday, Hillary Clinton told the story of a leukemia patient named Steven who \"ditched his oxygen tank,\" as Clinton told it, to vote early.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If Steven can do that, nobody has any excuses,\" she chided the crowd.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Clinton camp is putting a hard push on to turn out the vote before Nov. 8. The number of people taking advantage of early voting could hit record levels this year. Here's a primer on early voting:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1. How many people will vote early this year?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Potentially a record number. Early voting has grown quickly. In 2000, fewer than 1 in 5 voters cast their ballots early. This year, it could be nearly 4 in 10, with 37 states plus the District of Columbia allowing some form of early voting. (\u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2016/09/23/491999689/a-complete-guide-to-early-and-absentee-voting\">Some estimates say 34 percent\u003c/a> and others go as high as \u003ca href=\"http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2016/10/what-the-early-voting-numbers-are-telling-us.html\">40 percent\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That could mean some 40 million to 50 million people (or more) could vote early.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And this is visible in some of the numbers coming out already. At \u003ca href=\"http://www.sos.state.tx.us/ELECTIONS/earlyvoting/2012/oct23.shtml\">this point\u003c/a> in 2012, 663,000 people had voted early across 15 Texas counties — around 7.7 percent of registered voters. \u003ca href=\"http://www.sos.state.tx.us/ELECTIONS/earlyvoting/2016/oct25.shtml\">This year\u003c/a>, it's 969,000 — nearly 10 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Early voting has steadily caught on, but restrictions have tightened and loosened over time, depending on the state. For example, \u003ca href=\"https://thinkprogress.org/colorado-legislature-passes-major-voting-rights-expansion-bill-9de254d63e15#.dqokuu1j0\">in 2013\u003c/a>, Colorado joined Washington and Oregon as a vote-by-mail state. And an \u003ca href=\"http://archive.jsonline.com/news/statepolitics/judge-strikes-down-voter-id-early-voting-laws-b99767669z1-388708211.html\">August court decision\u003c/a> in Wisconsin struck down laws that had restricted early voting to weekdays only and had restricted the number of early voting polling places to one per city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, \u003ca href=\"https://www.brennancenter.org/sites/default/files/analysis/New_Restrictions_2016.pdf\">Arizona has passed a law\u003c/a> saying that only direct family members and caregivers could turn in someone's ballot; giving it to anyone else is a felony. That may not seem like a big deal, but it reduces the avenues by which some people can vote, a Democratic official \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnn.com/2016/10/17/politics/arizona-election-2016-voting-rights/\">argued to CNN\u003c/a>, because it stops party offices and volunteers from collecting ballots to turn them in. Nebraska and Ohio likewise cut the number of early voting days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2.

Every day, they give a little more information, but it's still only a bare sketch of how things might ultimately turn out. After all, the results only tell what party the ballot recipients belong to, not for whom those people are voting. And there are tens of millions of independent voters who will turn in ballots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Furthermore, only a few battleground states publish voting data by party ahead of time. And those results are mixed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Nevada, for example, Democrats seem to be slightly ahead of where they were in the first week of in-person early voting in 2012. Meanwhile, Republicans are roughly where they were with absentee/mail-in ballots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Likewise, Democrats are doing better than expected in Florida, as \u003ca href=\"http://www.politico.com/story/2016/10/trump-clinton-early-voting-230315\">Politico reported\u003c/a> this week, and they have a strong lead in \u003ca href=\"http://dl.ncsbe.gov.s3.amazonaws.com/ENRS/absentee11xx08xx2016_Stats.pdf\">North Carolina\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Iowa is a mixed bag: On the one hand, Iowa's Democrats are beating Republicans so far, with around 46.5 percent of ballots to the GOP's 33 percent. That's right around where Democrats were at this point in 2012.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then again, early voting is way down this year in Iowa overall from where it was in 2012 — and it's down more for Democrats than for Republicans. The number of Democratic ballots returned is down by 14.8 percent from this point in 2012, compared with Republicans' 8.8 percent decline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, given that a majority of votes nationwide are still cast on Election Day, any of these races could still potentially tip in the opposite direction. Democrats have a strong lead in early voting in \u003ca href=\"http://www.cbsnews.com/news/early-voting-update-an-analysis-of-north-carolina-and-florida/\">North Carolina\u003c/a> right now, but then they did \u003ca href=\"http://www.politico.com/story/2012/11/early-voting-results-2012-083176\">in 2012\u003c/a> early voting as well. And Republican Mitt Romney went on to win the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is an important point to remember when reading early voting numbers: Even a big lead now doesn't mean a big win on Nov. 8.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. Do different types of voting tend to lean more toward one party than the other?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Broadly speaking, mail-in voting tends to skew Republican, while in-person early voting tends to lean Democratic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Numbers from some early voting states show this to be true. In Nevada, for example, Republicans \u003ca href=\"http://nvsos.gov/sos/home/showdocument?id=4543\">have a roughly\u003c/a> 1,600-vote lead in mail-in votes, while Democrats have a 28,155-vote lead in in-person voting. In Florida, mail-in voting by far beats out in-person voting — 1.6 million mailed votes have been cast to 864,000 in-person votes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Republicans lead in mail-in votes, 42 to 39 percent, while Democrats lead in early votes, 43 to 39 percent (the rest are other or no-party votes).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. How does this affect campaigning?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The more votes are cast before Nov. 8, the more work Clinton and Donald Trump will have wrapped up by Election Day. As early voting expert Paul Gronke told NPR, that changes campaign strategy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is going to change the dynamics in [early voting] states so that you will expect to see early rallies timed when the early voting period opens up, likely in Florida, Ohio, North Carolina,\" he said. \"The candidates' travel schedule will reflect this, because they want to follow up that kind of enthusiasm and get people to the polls right away.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because Florida and Ohio have heavy early voting, Trump and Clinton will want to hit those states first.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pennsylvania, meanwhile, requires people to have an excuse to vote absentee, meaning most people have to wait until Election Day to vote. So it makes sense that Clinton has been pushing early voting in Florida this week, while Trump and Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Kaine are swinging through Ohio; it makes more sense to be there now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They can hit up places like Philadelphia later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2016 NPR.

The number of people taking advantage of early voting could hit record levels this year. Here's a primer on early voting:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1. How many people will vote early this year?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Potentially a record number. Early voting has grown quickly. In 2000, fewer than 1 in 5 voters cast their ballots early. This year, it could be nearly 4 in 10, with 37 states plus the District of Columbia allowing some form of early voting. (\u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2016/09/23/491999689/a-complete-guide-to-early-and-absentee-voting\">Some estimates say 34 percent\u003c/a> and others go as high as \u003ca href=\"http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2016/10/what-the-early-voting-numbers-are-telling-us.html\">40 percent\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

At \u003ca href=\"http://www.sos.state.tx.us/ELECTIONS/earlyvoting/2012/oct23.shtml\">this point\u003c/a> in 2012, 663,000 people had voted early across 15 Texas counties — around 7.7 percent of registered voters. \u003ca href=\"http://www.sos.state.tx.us/ELECTIONS/earlyvoting/2016/oct25.shtml\">This year\u003c/a>, it's 969,000 — nearly 10 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Early voting has steadily caught on, but restrictions have tightened and loosened over time, depending on the state. For example, \u003ca href=\"https://thinkprogress.org/colorado-legislature-passes-major-voting-rights-expansion-bill-9de254d63e15#.dqokuu1j0\">in 2013\u003c/a>, Colorado joined Washington and Oregon as a vote-by-mail state. And an \u003ca href=\"http://archive.jsonline.com/news/statepolitics/judge-strikes-down-voter-id-early-voting-laws-b99767669z1-388708211.html\">August court decision\u003c/a> in Wisconsin struck down laws that had restricted early voting to weekdays only and had restricted the number of early voting polling places to one per city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, \u003ca href=\"https://www.brennancenter.org/sites/default/files/analysis/New_Restrictions_2016.pdf\">Arizona has passed a law\u003c/a> saying that only direct family members and caregivers could turn in someone's ballot; giving it to anyone else is a felony. That may not seem like a big deal, but it reduces the avenues by which some people can vote, a Democratic official \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnn.com/2016/10/17/politics/arizona-election-2016-voting-rights/\">argued to CNN\u003c/a>, because it stops party offices and volunteers from collecting ballots to turn them in. Nebraska and Ohio likewise cut the number of early voting days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2.

I am writing to inform you that the investigative team briefed me on this yesterday, and I agreed that the FBI should take appropriate investigative steps designed to allow investigators to review these emails to determine whether they contain classified information, as well as to assess their importance to our investigation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added: \"The FBI cannot yet assess whether or not this material may be significant, and I cannot predict how long it will take us to complete this additional work.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this year, Comey closed the yearlong investigation without filing any charges against Clinton and her associates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The FBI confirmed to NPR's Carrie Johnson that the letter to oversight committees went out today, but had no further comment.

The newly discovered emails were not withheld by the Clinton campaign, the sources said, and it was not clear whether Clinton sent or received anything in the new pool of documents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Clinton campaign has also not issued a comment yet.

"content": "\u003cp>The one shred of power Republicans hold in the California statehouse -- enough seats to block Democratic lawmakers from a “supermajority” -- is on the brink in this election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Already, California is one of only seven states in which Democrats control the Legislature and the governor’s office (as compared with \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncsl.org/research/about-state-legislatures/partisan-composition.aspx\">23 states\u003c/a> where the GOP holds both). Here, Republicans no longer hold a single statewide office. What they do have is enough seats to block Democrats from a two-thirds majority -- meaning that Democrats can’t raise taxes or pass certain kinds of bills without some bipartisan support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But even that modicum of clout could slip away at the polls next month. The Republican share of California’s registered voters has dwindled to just 27 percent. Demographics, voting trends and turnout at the polls all threaten to cut even further against the GOP here. And of course there’s the elephant in the room: Donald Trump, a presidential nominee quite \u003ca href=\"http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/ca/california_trump_vs_clinton-5849.html\">unpopular\u003c/a> in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the state emerges after Nov. 8 with a Democratic supermajority, the only consolation prize for conservatives will be the reality that \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/rise-of-the-business-democrat/\">some\u003c/a> of those Democrats will be moderate, pro-business types willing to buck liberals in their own party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that doesn’t much cushion the fall for Republicans -- the once-dominant party of Ronald Reagan, now struggling to maintain a voice in Sacramento.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What already looked to have been a very steep uphill challenge for legislative Republicans in California is now looking like an almost insurmountable obstacle,” said Dan Schnur, director of the Unruh Institute of Politics at the University of Southern California, who spent decades working for Republican politicians. “There is simply not enough information available to voters about most Assembly and Senate candidates to disassociate them from the top of the ticket. ... Most voters translate that ‘R’ next to their name as ‘Friend of Trump.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats hope to capitalize on that perception, and are paying for ads linking Trump to Republican lawmakers. One portrays Trump as the \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fwl1cdFowCQ\">puppet master\u003c/a> of Assemblywoman Young Kim of Fullerton; another shows Trump and Rancho Cucamonga Assemblyman Marc Steinorth as two sides of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jfxPn4-4R4\">same coin\u003c/a>; and a third claims Trump and Manhattan Beach Assemblyman David Hadley possess “\u003ca href=\"http://hadleytrump.com/\">shared values\u003c/a>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The attacks may not be fair -- Steinorth and Hadley have publicly said they’re not voting for Trump -- but that hasn’t deterred Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With a long campaign stoking fears of immigrants and insulting Latinos, Trump has given California Democrats plenty of fodder. Latinos \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/california/la-me-census-latinos-20150708-story.html\">outnumber whites\u003c/a> in California, home to \u003ca href=\"http://www.migrationpolicy.org/programs/data-hub/charts/us-immigrant-population-state-and-county\">more immigrants\u003c/a> than any other state. Earlier this month, several Democratic legislators staged an event to mobilize Latino and immigrant voters by deploying taco trucks on several Los Angeles street corners -- a jab at the Trump supporter who \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/03/us/politics/taco-trucks-on-every-corner-trump-supporters-anti-immigration-warning.html?_r=0\">made headlines\u003c/a> by ominously predicting that would be America’s future unless Trump was victorious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Donald Trump has had a significant impact on lots of folks in California. His vision for America is something that a lot of folks are rejecting. Anyone associated with his ideas is in trouble now,” said Democratic Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon, who has been campaigning for Democrats in swing districts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His Republican counterpart called the attacks linking California lawmakers to Trump “more than ridiculous,” but acknowledged that Trump’s candidacy is making a tough situation worse. “It is having a negative impact. ... It makes these races more competitive than they otherwise would be,” said Assemblyman Chad Mayes of Yucca Valley, who leads the GOP caucus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11148164\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11148164\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/CaliforniaLegislature-800x506.jpg\" alt=\"The chambers of the California Legislature.\" width=\"800\" height=\"506\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/CaliforniaLegislature-800x506.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/CaliforniaLegislature-160x101.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/CaliforniaLegislature-1020x645.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/CaliforniaLegislature.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/CaliforniaLegislature-1180x746.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/CaliforniaLegislature-960x607.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/CaliforniaLegislature-240x152.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/CaliforniaLegislature-375x237.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/CaliforniaLegislature-520x329.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The chambers of the California Legislature.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Even without Trump, Democrats were in a strong position to gain seats this year. They typically show higher turnout rates in presidential election years -- and that may be particularly true this time, with little on the state ballot to ignite Republican interest (the two contenders in the U.S. Senate race, for example, are both Democrats.) And \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/states-voter-rolls-are-surgingand-1-in-3-new-voters-is-latino/\">only 15 percent\u003c/a> of California’s 2.2 million new voters have registered as Republicans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of the 100 legislative seats up for election this fall, the balance of power will be determined by races in \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article109083257.html\">12 swing districts\u003c/a>, most of them in Los Angeles, Orange and San Bernardino counties. Assuming Democrats hold the seats they have, they need to pick up only three additional seats -- two in the Assembly and one in the Senate -- to gain a supermajority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If they succeed, that bloc of Democrats would have enough votes to raise taxes, change political ethics laws, put constitutional amendments on the ballot and override gubernatorial vetoes -- wiping out any need to compromise with Republicans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In recent years, Republicans used the two-thirds vote requirement to force Democrats to compromise on money to build new reservoirs in the 2014 water bond, and the restructuring of a tax on health plans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the biggest issue that once allowed Republicans to leverage their position on two-thirds votes is no longer an issue in Sacramento. Until a few years ago, a supermajority was needed to pass the annual state budget. That led to months of partisan standoffs, which so frustrated voters that they overturned the requirement in 2010.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In reality, a supermajority would be unlikely to trigger huge policy changes -- at least in the near term. Democrats from swing districts would be reluctant to raise taxes, and the party is already \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/rise-of-the-business-democrat/\">split\u003c/a> on key environmental and labor issues. Nor did Democrats do much with the supermajority they won in 2012, before they lost it in early 2014 when two senators went on leave to fight criminal indictments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But this election is unusual because of its potential to shape the Legislature for many years to come. A change to term limits -- lawmakers are now allowed to run for re-election to the same house for up to 12 years -- means the Assembly will have no vacancies created by term limits until 2024.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This election will affect the supermajority for the next decade -- not just the next two years,” said Assemblywoman Catharine Baker, a Dublin Republican making the case that her re-election is critical to maintain “any semblance of balance” in the Capitol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>CALmatters is a nonprofit news venture devoted to covering California policy and politics.

Here, Republicans no longer hold a single statewide office. What they do have is enough seats to block Democrats from a two-thirds majority -- meaning that Democrats can’t raise taxes or pass certain kinds of bills without some bipartisan support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But even that modicum of clout could slip away at the polls next month. The Republican share of California’s registered voters has dwindled to just 27 percent. Demographics, voting trends and turnout at the polls all threaten to cut even further against the GOP here. And of course there’s the elephant in the room: Donald Trump, a presidential nominee quite \u003ca href=\"http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/ca/california_trump_vs_clinton-5849.html\">unpopular\u003c/a> in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the state emerges after Nov. 8 with a Democratic supermajority, the only consolation prize for conservatives will be the reality that \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/rise-of-the-business-democrat/\">some\u003c/a> of those Democrats will be moderate, pro-business types willing to buck liberals in their own party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that doesn’t much cushion the fall for Republicans -- the once-dominant party of Ronald Reagan, now struggling to maintain a voice in Sacramento.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Most voters translate that ‘R’ next to their name as ‘Friend of Trump.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats hope to capitalize on that perception, and are paying for ads linking Trump to Republican lawmakers. One portrays Trump as the \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fwl1cdFowCQ\">puppet master\u003c/a> of Assemblywoman Young Kim of Fullerton; another shows Trump and Rancho Cucamonga Assemblyman Marc Steinorth as two sides of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jfxPn4-4R4\">same coin\u003c/a>; and a third claims Trump and Manhattan Beach Assemblyman David Hadley possess “\u003ca href=\"http://hadleytrump.com/\">shared values\u003c/a>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The attacks may not be fair -- Steinorth and Hadley have publicly said they’re not voting for Trump -- but that hasn’t deterred Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With a long campaign stoking fears of immigrants and insulting Latinos, Trump has given California Democrats plenty of fodder. Latinos \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/california/la-me-census-latinos-20150708-story.html\">outnumber whites\u003c/a> in California, home to \u003ca href=\"http://www.migrationpolicy.org/programs/data-hub/charts/us-immigrant-population-state-and-county\">more immigrants\u003c/a> than any other state. Earlier this month, several Democratic legislators staged an event to mobilize Latino and immigrant voters by deploying taco trucks on several Los Angeles street corners -- a jab at the Trump supporter who \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/03/us/politics/taco-trucks-on-every-corner-trump-supporters-anti-immigration-warning.html?_r=0\">made headlines\u003c/a> by ominously predicting that would be America’s future unless Trump was victorious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Donald Trump has had a significant impact on lots of folks in California. His vision for America is something that a lot of folks are rejecting. Anyone associated with his ideas is in trouble now,” said Democratic Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon, who has been campaigning for Democrats in swing districts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His Republican counterpart called the attacks linking California lawmakers to Trump “more than ridiculous,” but acknowledged that Trump’s candidacy is making a tough situation worse. “It is having a negative impact. ... It makes these races more competitive than they otherwise would be,” said Assemblyman Chad Mayes of Yucca Valley, who leads the GOP caucus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11148164\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11148164\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/CaliforniaLegislature-800x506.jpg\" alt=\"The chambers of the California Legislature.\" width=\"800\" height=\"506\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/CaliforniaLegislature-800x506.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/CaliforniaLegislature-160x101.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/CaliforniaLegislature-1020x645.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/CaliforniaLegislature.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/CaliforniaLegislature-1180x746.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/CaliforniaLegislature-960x607.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/CaliforniaLegislature-240x152.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/CaliforniaLegislature-375x237.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/CaliforniaLegislature-520x329.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The chambers of the California Legislature.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Even without Trump, Democrats were in a strong position to gain seats this year. They typically show higher turnout rates in presidential election years -- and that may be particularly true this time, with little on the state ballot to ignite Republican interest (the two contenders in the U.S. Senate race, for example, are both Democrats.) And \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/states-voter-rolls-are-surgingand-1-in-3-new-voters-is-latino/\">only 15 percent\u003c/a> of California’s 2.2 million new voters have registered as Republicans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of the 100 legislative seats up for election this fall, the balance of power will be determined by races in \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article109083257.html\">12 swing districts\u003c/a>, most of them in Los Angeles, Orange and San Bernardino counties. Assuming Democrats hold the seats they have, they need to pick up only three additional seats -- two in the Assembly and one in the Senate -- to gain a supermajority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If they succeed, that bloc of Democrats would have enough votes to raise taxes, change political ethics laws, put constitutional amendments on the ballot and override gubernatorial vetoes -- wiping out any need to compromise with Republicans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In recent years, Republicans used the two-thirds vote requirement to force Democrats to compromise on money to build new reservoirs in the 2014 water bond, and the restructuring of a tax on health plans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the biggest issue that once allowed Republicans to leverage their position on two-thirds votes is no longer an issue in Sacramento. Until a few years ago, a supermajority was needed to pass the annual state budget. That led to months of partisan standoffs, which so frustrated voters that they overturned the requirement in 2010.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In reality, a supermajority would be unlikely to trigger huge policy changes -- at least in the near term. Democrats from swing districts would be reluctant to raise taxes, and the party is already \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/rise-of-the-business-democrat/\">split\u003c/a> on key environmental and labor issues. Nor did Democrats do much with the supermajority they won in 2012, before they lost it in early 2014 when two senators went on leave to fight criminal indictments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But this election is unusual because of its potential to shape the Legislature for many years to come. A change to term limits -- lawmakers are now allowed to run for re-election to the same house for up to 12 years -- means the Assembly will have no vacancies created by term limits until 2024.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This election will affect the supermajority for the next decade -- not just the next two years,” said Assemblywoman Catharine Baker, a Dublin Republican making the case that her re-election is critical to maintain “any semblance of balance” in the Capitol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And with the seat now up for grabs, Super PACs and other nonprofits have poured \u003ca href=\"http://www.fec.gov/data/IndependentExpenditure.do?format=html&id=ieState&election_yr=2016&candidateOfficeState=CA&candidateOfficeDistrict=24&candOffice=H\">nearly $3 million \u003c/a>into the race, making it one of the most expensive in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On top of that, Carbajal has personally raised around $2.8 million, while Fareed has raised roughly $2 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jerry Roberts, a longtime political observer on the Central Coast and former editor of the Santa Barbara News-Press, believes voter registration trends favor Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think in the beginning, Republicans had a sense that they might be able to turn this as an open seat from blue to red, because the registration was pretty close, only plus-three Democratic,\" Roberts says. \"Since then, Democrats have expanded their registration edge.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Independent handicappers confirm the seat leans Democratic, but it's hardly a sure bet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both candidates have experienced turbulence in their campaigns in recent weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carbajal was overheard by a political opponent calling the town of Lompoc the \"armpit\" of Santa Barbara County. This sent the Fareed campaign on the offensive with TV attack ads charging that \"elitist insiders like Carbajal have been looking down their noses at us for years.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, Fareed has been dealing with a problem plaguing many other Republicans -- Donald Trump.

And, he added, Republicans are a lot less excited than they were in the last presidential race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That gap in enthusiasm has implications not just for the top of the ticket but what goes on in some of the legislative races and local races this year,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baldassare found all voters are pretty lukewarm about their choice of presidential candidates, even though Clinton leads GOP nominee Donald Trump 54 to 28 percent. And, the poll found that more than one-third of Republicans said they are planning to simply forgo voting in the Senate race between two Democrats: Harris and Orange County congresswoman Loretta Sanchez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The PPIC survey found Harris has a 2-1 lead over Sanchez, a margin that has increased since the organization's last poll in September. Baldassare said the attorney general started with some advantages, including better recognition among voters because she's run for statewide office twice before. But Sanchez has also apparently failed to make inroads among the Republican and independent voters she would have needed to make a real stand against Harris, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">'When you're voting for U.S. Senate, you're also thinking about your party’s control of Congress.' \u003ccite>PPIC President Mark Baldassare\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>PPIC found Harris leading Sanchez 42 to 20 percent, with the margin growing to 27 points in Harris' favor -- 51 to 24 percent -- when you exclude the likely voters who say they won't weigh in on the contest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while right-leaning voters may sit out this race, Baldassare cautioned against assuming that Republicans and more conservative independent voters will sit out future races with two Democrats on the ticket.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If it’s a U.S. senator it's different than it might be for a race for governor or lieutenant governor or controller or treasurer -- because when you're voting for U.S. Senate, you're also thinking about your party’s control of Congress,\" he said, noting that 84 percent of Republicans told PPIC they want the GOP to control Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The survey also looked at four of the 17 statewide ballot measures facing voters this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps most surprising, Baldassare said, support for Proposition 51, the proposed $9 billion school bond, is hovering around 46 percent with just 12 percent undecided. That support was also low in PPIC's last poll, he said. Yet when the poll asked voters if they generally support school bonds, 59 percent said yes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There could be several reasons for that disconnect, Baldassare said, including that the ballot measure summary notes the bond will require $500 million a year in payments for 35 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's a big bond, that's a large amount, and that may be, more than anything else, giving people pause,\" he said, especially \"in the absence of a strong message of support from the governor, the Legislature, and business and labor ... many people who would normally support a school bond in this case are giving it a pass.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11146821\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11146821\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/9066_transform-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"A ballot measure to increase the tax on tobacco products -- including electronic cigarettes -- appears likely to pass. \" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/9066_transform-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/9066_transform-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/9066_transform-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/9066_transform.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/9066_transform-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/9066_transform-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/9066_transform-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/9066_transform-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/9066_transform-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A ballot measure to increase the tax on tobacco products -- including electronic cigarettes -- appears likely to pass. \u003ccite>(Joe Raedle/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Voters are backing two tax measures, PPIC found. Proposition 55 --which would extend income tax hikes on individual Californians making more than $250,000 a year and couples making more than $500,000 -- is sitting pretty with 59 percent support. And Proposition 56, a proposed $2-a-pack tax on cigarettes and other tobacco products, is enjoying 56 support despite heavy campaigning against the measure by the tobacco industry, which has poured more than $70 million into defeating the initiative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baldassare said the strong support for both measures seems to reflect the politics of the time: People are happy to tax the wealthy, and are concerned about health care costs. Proposition 56 revenues would largely be spent on health care programs for low-income Californians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's so many concerns about funding health care today, every place you turn there are questions about it. ... I think this has caught people's attention and been one of the reasons support has remained fairly steady for the cigarette tax increase,\" Baldassare said, adding that some voters may also discount the No on 56 ads if they have concerns about who's funding them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11146816\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11146816\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/RS18506_GettyImages-451708630-qut-800x504.jpg\" alt=\"California voters are leaning toward legalizing marijuana for recreational use. \" width=\"800\" height=\"504\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/RS18506_GettyImages-451708630-qut-800x504.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/RS18506_GettyImages-451708630-qut-160x101.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/RS18506_GettyImages-451708630-qut-1020x642.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/RS18506_GettyImages-451708630-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/RS18506_GettyImages-451708630-qut-1180x743.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/RS18506_GettyImages-451708630-qut-960x605.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/RS18506_GettyImages-451708630-qut-240x151.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/RS18506_GettyImages-451708630-qut-375x236.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/RS18506_GettyImages-451708630-qut-520x327.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">California voters are leaning toward legalizing marijuana for recreational use. \u003ccite>(FREDERIC J.

That support has slipped slightly since last month, when 60 percent of likely voters told PPIC they were voting for the measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baldassare called that slip in support \"a point of caution\" for the Proposition 64 campaign but said that, in general, Californians' views on marijuana legalization have shifted considerably toward the pro-side since we last weighed in on the issue six years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">I think that compared to the last time there was a marijuana legalization initiative on ballot this one’s in a strong position, because you have 57 percent of California likely voters saying they support legalization in general, and 55 percent saying they support this measure,\" he said. \"So there's a lot of consistent evidence that support is relatively high and different from what we've seen in the past.\"\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baldassare said he was particularly interested by the wide range of demographics now supporting Proposition 64. While voters under the age of 35 report the strongest support -- 78 percent of them told PPIC they will vote for the measure -- 57 percent of those ages 35 to 54 also are backing Proposition 64. There's also majority support across regions; and Latinos are the only ethic group evenly split.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In general, it's in relatively strong shape,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Support is much higher -- 69 percent-- among those who say they have tried marijuana, compared with 40 percent support for those who have not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report is based on a telephone survey of 1,704 California adult residents.

I think this has caught people's attention and been one of the reasons support has remained fairly steady for the cigarette tax increase,\" Baldassare said, adding that some voters may also discount the No on 56 ads if they have concerns about who's funding them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11146816\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11146816\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/RS18506_GettyImages-451708630-qut-800x504.jpg\" alt=\"California voters are leaning toward legalizing marijuana for recreational use. \" width=\"800\" height=\"504\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/RS18506_GettyImages-451708630-qut-800x504.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/RS18506_GettyImages-451708630-qut-160x101.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/RS18506_GettyImages-451708630-qut-1020x642.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/RS18506_GettyImages-451708630-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/RS18506_GettyImages-451708630-qut-1180x743.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/RS18506_GettyImages-451708630-qut-960x605.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/RS18506_GettyImages-451708630-qut-240x151.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/RS18506_GettyImages-451708630-qut-375x236.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/RS18506_GettyImages-451708630-qut-520x327.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">California voters are leaning toward legalizing marijuana for recreational use. \u003ccite>(FREDERIC J.

While voters under the age of 35 report the strongest support -- 78 percent of them told PPIC they will vote for the measure -- 57 percent of those ages 35 to 54 also are backing Proposition 64.

English-only programs would remain, but parents would no longer need to sign a waiver to place their children in a bilingual program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Opponents fear this would allow schools to transfer ELLs to a bilingual classroom without the parent’s consent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leading the charge against the bilingual measure is Ron Unz, the Silicon Valley millionaire who orchestrated the original ban in 1998. His campaign was inspired by a protest by immigrant parents in Los Angeles in 1996.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back then, a group called Las Familias del Pueblo launched a boycott at the \u003ca href=\"http://articles.latimes.com/1996-02-14/local/me-35833_1_district-schools\">Ninth Street School in \u003c/a>L.A.’s garment district. Latino parents complained that, as much as they wanted their kids to continue speaking Spanish, only 1 percent of the students at the school knew enough English to transition out of the bilingual program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”hVhY4GiK7kEAQfPH9zc9fVfu3c1xiYcC”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unz insists that bilingual instruction is ineffective and cheats ELLs of a quality education. He argues that ELLs need no more than a year of intensive English instruction before moving on to English-only classrooms, and that while challenges remain, those students today are better off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Latino students “are doing much better than they had been doing 18 or 20 years ago,” he says, “or that they would be doing if they weren’t being taught English.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the years after the ban, test scores for English Language Learners statewide improved considerably. Supporters interpreted it as powerful evidence that English-only was a better way to get ELLs to succeed, even if it meant that children would lose their Spanish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Years later, the academic achievement and test scores of ELLs began to drop off. So much so that in 2015, a coalition of civil rights groups won a landmark case against the state for failing to address the high failure rates of ELLs. State officials have since agreed to new monitoring procedures to ensure that districts provide the necessary services and interventions required under the federal Equal Educational Opportunities Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This time around, the bilingual debate has been much more muted than it was in the 1990s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ron Unz says the proposed initiative is likely to pass, thanks to upper-middle-class families who see bilingual instruction as a form of academic enrichment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2016 NPR.

English-only programs would remain, but parents would no longer need to sign a waiver to place their children in a bilingual program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Opponents fear this would allow schools to transfer ELLs to a bilingual classroom without the parent’s consent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leading the charge against the bilingual measure is Ron Unz, the Silicon Valley millionaire who orchestrated the original ban in 1998. His campaign was inspired by a protest by immigrant parents in Los Angeles in 1996.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back then, a group called Las Familias del Pueblo launched a boycott at the \u003ca href=\"http://articles.latimes.com/1996-02-14/local/me-35833_1_district-schools\">Ninth Street School in \u003c/a>L.A.’s garment district.

He argues that ELLs need no more than a year of intensive English instruction before moving on to English-only classrooms, and that while challenges remain, those students today are better off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Latino students “are doing much better than they had been doing 18 or 20 years ago,” he says, “or that they would be doing if they weren’t being taught English.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the years after the ban, test scores for English Language Learners statewide improved considerably. Supporters interpreted it as powerful evidence that English-only was a better way to get ELLs to succeed, even if it meant that children would lose their Spanish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Years later, the academic achievement and test scores of ELLs began to drop off. So much so that in 2015, a coalition of civil rights groups won a landmark case against the state for failing to address the high failure rates of ELLs. State officials have since agreed to new monitoring procedures to ensure that districts provide the necessary services and interventions required under the federal Equal Educational Opportunities Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This time around, the bilingual debate has been much more muted than it was in the 1990s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ron Unz says the proposed initiative is likely to pass, thanks to upper-middle-class families who see bilingual instruction as a form of academic enrichment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2016 NPR.

After a new police transparency law unsealed scores of internal affairs files, our reporters set out to examine these cases and the shadow world of police discipline. On Our Watch brings listeners into the rooms where officers are questioned and witnesses are interrogated to find out who this system is really protecting. Is it the officers, or the public they've sworn to serve?",
