California's electoral relevance will give Republican voters, like the 50 or so assembled there, an outsized importance. Just 18 percent of voters across the Bay Area are registered as Republican, but the region will send 36 delegates (three for the winner of each congressional district) to July's national convention in Cleveland.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">“He seems to be someone who can negotiate well and get the job done.

Ted Cruz, matching his statewide lead in the same survey.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">“I want the wall built. For 50 years, they’ve talked about the wall and neither Democrats or Republicans have done it. Maybe he’s not doing it the way they want. But that’s what he says he’s going to do.”\u003ccite>Bette Sue Schack, Danville\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Bette Sue Schack and Paulina McGill of Danville are both supporting Trump. Their frustration with the direction of the country matches their candidates' rhetoric, but felt a bit out of place at the serene Blackhawk Country Club, nestled at the foot of Mount Diablo, where they're attending a Republican candidates forum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We just feel sold out by the Republican Party,\" says Schack, a local real estate agent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I want the wall built. For 50 years they’ve talked about the wall, and neither Democrats or Republicans have done it,\" she adds. \"That’s what he says he’s going to do, and I think our country is at such risk.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump's controversial tone doesn't bother another Danville supporter, Heidi Hill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Yes, he can be a little crass but I don’t really care because he’s the first person in here who isn’t just laying down and not saying anything.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Challenge to Organize Delegate Slate\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California's Republican primary process places the onus on campaigns to convert popular support from voters like Schack into tangible delegate gains. The campaigns must submit a list of delegates (three for each congressional district, along with three alternates) to the state party by May 9. The winner of each congressional district gets to send their delegates from that district to the national convention in Cleveland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That system would seem to benefit Trump's campaign more than the process in other states. For one, in the case of a contested convention, California's delegates are bound to support their candidate until after the second ballot. Even then, Trump's delegates from the state will be handpicked by the campaign, and are presumably less likely to jump ship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But finding loyal supporters to serve as delegates could prove challenging for Trump in deep-blue California. In contrast to the Cruz campaign, which has been laying the groundwork in California for months, Trump's \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/04/20/trump-campaign-sets-big-goals-for-california\">formal organization in the state\u003c/a> just launched two weeks ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s hard to build a good slate in six weeks, it’s like a five-months-plus project. It’s not easy,\" says Rohit Joy, chairman of the Republican Party of Contra Costa County and a Cruz supporter. \"I mean you can get people off the street, but you want people who you can trust and who will stick with Cruz on multiple ballots. That’s what Trump would want, too.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Greg Coppes of Solano County is a candidate for state Senate in the North Bay. He says he's been contacted three to five times a week by candidates hoping to add him to their slate. But he senses a bit of disorganization from Trump's campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"His people don't know that I've already been contacted several times,\" Coppes says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Patty O'Day of Hercules would seem the ideal delegate for the Trump campaign. She's a self-proclaimed \"Trumpster,\" and projects an unwavering belief in the candidate. She's also a seasoned political organizer in Contra Costa County, with the kind of political chops that could come in handy if chaos breaks out on the convention floor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I actually checked into it and considered doing it, but the reason I decided not to is I don’t really want to go into a bunch of riots,\" says O'Day. \"I’m talking about violent people that are coming to protest.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Campaign to Organize Around Existing Groups\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The man tasked with overseeing the process of identifying over 300 supporters is Tim Clark, recently named state director of the campaign. He's confident all the delegates the campaign sends from California to Cleveland will be loyal supporters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There are some local groups that have already formed and have been active in some cases for a year or more on behalf of Donald Trump. So we’re finding these groups and we’re benefiting from their activism, so our network is actually quite strong in the state,\" says Clark. “They’re Facebook groups, they’re groups that get out and hold rallies, they’ve been walking precincts knocking on doors. And we’ve been reaching out to them and they’ve been reaching out to us.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">“We need to finally put a businessman in the White House that can make the contracts, make the deals and be our spokesperson. He calls himself a ‘blue collar billionaire’ which is wonderful!”\u003ccite>Karen Molden, Sleepy Hollow\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The degree to which Trump will capitalize on this support in the Bay Area will hinge on supporters like Karen Molden of Marin County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We need to finally put a businessman in the White House that can make the contracts, make the deals and be our spokesperson,\" she says. \"He calls himself a 'blue-collar billionaire,' which is wonderful!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Molden has already applied to be a Trump delegate in the 2nd Congressional District. She's hoping to be among the 1,237 delegates who will need to cast a vote for the business mogul to avoid a contested convention, an event Molden is confident the campaign will avoid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The pundits talk about that day in and day out, and we'll be so pleased to have this complete, as I'm sure Mr. Trump will be,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\n",

California's electoral relevance will give Republican voters, like the 50 or so assembled there, an outsized importance. Just 18 percent of voters across the Bay Area are registered as Republican, but the region will send 36 delegates (three for the winner of each congressional district) to July's national convention in Cleveland.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">“He seems to be someone who can negotiate well and get the job done.

Ted Cruz, matching his statewide lead in the same survey.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">“I want the wall built. For 50 years, they’ve talked about the wall and neither Democrats or Republicans have done it. Maybe he’s not doing it the way they want. But that’s what he says he’s going to do.”\u003ccite>Bette Sue Schack, Danville\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Bette Sue Schack and Paulina McGill of Danville are both supporting Trump. Their frustration with the direction of the country matches their candidates' rhetoric, but felt a bit out of place at the serene Blackhawk Country Club, nestled at the foot of Mount Diablo, where they're attending a Republican candidates forum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We just feel sold out by the Republican Party,\" says Schack, a local real estate agent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I want the wall built. For 50 years they’ve talked about the wall, and neither Democrats or Republicans have done it,\" she adds. \"That’s what he says he’s going to do, and I think our country is at such risk.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump's controversial tone doesn't bother another Danville supporter, Heidi Hill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Yes, he can be a little crass but I don’t really care because he’s the first person in here who isn’t just laying down and not saying anything.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Challenge to Organize Delegate Slate\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California's Republican primary process places the onus on campaigns to convert popular support from voters like Schack into tangible delegate gains. The campaigns must submit a list of delegates (three for each congressional district, along with three alternates) to the state party by May 9. The winner of each congressional district gets to send their delegates from that district to the national convention in Cleveland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That system would seem to benefit Trump's campaign more than the process in other states. For one, in the case of a contested convention, California's delegates are bound to support their candidate until after the second ballot. Even then, Trump's delegates from the state will be handpicked by the campaign, and are presumably less likely to jump ship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But finding loyal supporters to serve as delegates could prove challenging for Trump in deep-blue California. In contrast to the Cruz campaign, which has been laying the groundwork in California for months, Trump's \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/04/20/trump-campaign-sets-big-goals-for-california\">formal organization in the state\u003c/a> just launched two weeks ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s hard to build a good slate in six weeks, it’s like a five-months-plus project. It’s not easy,\" says Rohit Joy, chairman of the Republican Party of Contra Costa County and a Cruz supporter. \"I mean you can get people off the street, but you want people who you can trust and who will stick with Cruz on multiple ballots. That’s what Trump would want, too.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Greg Coppes of Solano County is a candidate for state Senate in the North Bay. He says he's been contacted three to five times a week by candidates hoping to add him to their slate. But he senses a bit of disorganization from Trump's campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"His people don't know that I've already been contacted several times,\" Coppes says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Patty O'Day of Hercules would seem the ideal delegate for the Trump campaign. She's a self-proclaimed \"Trumpster,\" and projects an unwavering belief in the candidate. She's also a seasoned political organizer in Contra Costa County, with the kind of political chops that could come in handy if chaos breaks out on the convention floor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I actually checked into it and considered doing it, but the reason I decided not to is I don’t really want to go into a bunch of riots,\" says O'Day. \"I’m talking about violent people that are coming to protest.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Campaign to Organize Around Existing Groups\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The man tasked with overseeing the process of identifying over 300 supporters is Tim Clark, recently named state director of the campaign. He's confident all the delegates the campaign sends from California to Cleveland will be loyal supporters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There are some local groups that have already formed and have been active in some cases for a year or more on behalf of Donald Trump. So we’re finding these groups and we’re benefiting from their activism, so our network is actually quite strong in the state,\" says Clark. “They’re Facebook groups, they’re groups that get out and hold rallies, they’ve been walking precincts knocking on doors. And we’ve been reaching out to them and they’ve been reaching out to us.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">“We need to finally put a businessman in the White House that can make the contracts, make the deals and be our spokesperson. He calls himself a ‘blue collar billionaire’ which is wonderful!”\u003ccite>Karen Molden, Sleepy Hollow\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The degree to which Trump will capitalize on this support in the Bay Area will hinge on supporters like Karen Molden of Marin County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We need to finally put a businessman in the White House that can make the contracts, make the deals and be our spokesperson,\" she says. \"He calls himself a 'blue-collar billionaire,' which is wonderful!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Molden has already applied to be a Trump delegate in the 2nd Congressional District. She's hoping to be among the 1,237 delegates who will need to cast a vote for the business mogul to avoid a contested convention, an event Molden is confident the campaign will avoid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Oh, the military will take care of that. Let’s just go to war here, oh, let’s just do a no-fly zone, let’s go there.' And the reality is there are other tools that we have.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several times questioners had to stop Sanchez as she hit her time limit, although she mostly ignored the warnings and kept talking. For those who haven't seen Sanchez in action, Monday night's debate might have been an eye-opener. She has an authenticity many politicians lack in this age of canned speeches and talking points, but while it's endearing, it can also sound a bit unhinged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked if she's the kind of political insider voters say they're tired of, Sanchez said \"I'm not the status quo. Washington hasn't changed me. I've been changing Congress for 20 years.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked about her \"shoot from the hip\" style, Sanchez says it's just who she is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I come from the people,\" she said. \"I want to be with the people. I fly home to California every week for 19 years.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Debate questioner John Diaz of the San Francisco Chronicle noted Sundheim's support for gay marriage and gun control and asked, \"Why are you a Republican?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sundheim called himself a \"proud Republican,\" but said if he wins, \"I'm not going back there to work for (Senate Majority Leader) Mitch McConnell or a Republican president.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in a state where Republicans are just 28 percent of the electorate, Del Beccaro doubled down on his conservative credentials. The East Bay attorney criticized gun control, hit Harris for supporting Planned Parenthood and used every opportunity to echo Ronald Reagan's claim that government is the problem, not the solution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If we’re going to resolve divisions, we must understand that the source of division most often is government, [it] has become at the center of it,\" Del Becarro said. \"We can’t always turn to government, and we can’t always ask our neighbor to pay to solve our crisis.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Silicon Valley entrepreneur Ron Unz is the wild card in the race, as he proved again Monday night. He was the only Republican to support raising the minimum wage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I’m very glad that Gov. Brown signed the $15 minimum wage in California, though I think $15 is probably too high,\" Unz said. \"It’s better than the $10 we had, but I would have supported $13 or $14.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The debate was sponsored by the San Francisco Chronicle, Sacramento's KCRA-TV and Stockton's University of the Pacific.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The five candidates are running to replace retiring Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer. The top two finishers in the June 7 primary, regardless of their party, move on to the November general election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The faceoff comes at a time when all the candidates are struggling for exposure, mostly losing out to media focused on the presidential election. Although the primary is just six weeks way, the most recent \u003ca href=\"http://www.field.com/fieldpollonline/subscribers/Rls2532.pdf\">Field Poll\u003c/a> found 48 percent of voters were undecided, meaning in part they just aren't paying close attention. This is especially true among Republicans, with 66 percent undecided compared with 32 percent of Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By comparison, the Field Poll in early May 1992, the last time California had a U.S. Senate election without an incumbent, just 15 percent of Democrats and 24 percent of Republican voters were undecided.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The only other debate with all these candidates is scheduled for May 10 in San Diego, a forum co-sponsored by KQED, KPBS (San Diego), KPCC (Los Angeles) and Capital Public Radio (Sacramento).\u003c/p>\n\n",

I fly home to California every week for 19 years.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Debate questioner John Diaz of the San Francisco Chronicle noted Sundheim's support for gay marriage and gun control and asked, \"Why are you a Republican?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sundheim called himself a \"proud Republican,\" but said if he wins, \"I'm not going back there to work for (Senate Majority Leader) Mitch McConnell or a Republican president.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in a state where Republicans are just 28 percent of the electorate, Del Beccaro doubled down on his conservative credentials. The East Bay attorney criticized gun control, hit Harris for supporting Planned Parenthood and used every opportunity to echo Ronald Reagan's claim that government is the problem, not the solution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If we’re going to resolve divisions, we must understand that the source of division most often is government, [it] has become at the center of it,\" Del Becarro said. \"We can’t always turn to government, and we can’t always ask our neighbor to pay to solve our crisis.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Silicon Valley entrepreneur Ron Unz is the wild card in the race, as he proved again Monday night. He was the only Republican to support raising the minimum wage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I’m very glad that Gov. Brown signed the $15 minimum wage in California, though I think $15 is probably too high,\" Unz said. \"It’s better than the $10 we had, but I would have supported $13 or $14.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The debate was sponsored by the San Francisco Chronicle, Sacramento's KCRA-TV and Stockton's University of the Pacific.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The five candidates are running to replace retiring Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer. The top two finishers in the June 7 primary, regardless of their party, move on to the November general election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The faceoff comes at a time when all the candidates are struggling for exposure, mostly losing out to media focused on the presidential election. Although the primary is just six weeks way, the most recent \u003ca href=\"http://www.field.com/fieldpollonline/subscribers/Rls2532.pdf\">Field Poll\u003c/a> found 48 percent of voters were undecided, meaning in part they just aren't paying close attention.

In most states, delegates are allocated proportionately based on the results of the primary or caucus (although in a handful of Republican contests, including Florida and Delaware, the Republican primary is winner-take-all).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This means, unless the race remains incredibly close into the late spring -- which was a possibility this year --each party's nomination is generally secured long before a decent number of states get to vote. The staggered nature of this system affords candidates the luxury of focusing resources on specific areas of the country rather than trying to be everywhere at once.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\u003ciframe src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/videoseries?list=PLtJ3pGPLv8AQcwBE_7C5V3iNlXznMJTWZ\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/aside>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>However, the system is also somewhat controversial, in that millions of voters in late-primary states -- \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/03/15/why-is-californias-presidential-primary-so-late\" target=\"_blank\">including California \u003c/a> -- often miss out on the opportunity to directly impact the outcome of their party's nomination. Opponents of the process argue that this gives undue influence to small, largely white, rural early-voting states like Iowa and New Hampshire, which they say, can result in nominees who don't necessarily represent the preferences of the larger U.S. electorate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Note that most delegates are \"pledged,\" meaning they are mandated to support a particular candidate at their party's national convention in July. However, each party also has a certain number of unpledged delegates, and these guys can support whoever they want. In the Republican Party they're called \"unbound delegates\" and make up about 7 percent of the total delegate count. In the Democratic Party, they're known as \"superdelegates\" and make up 15 percent of the delegate count. As mentioned earlier, Clinton is ahead of Sanders in the pledged delegate count. But what makes her overall lead so formidable is the overwhelming portion of party superdelegates, who have committed to supporting her (a process that Sanders and his supporters \u003ca href=\"http://www.vox.com/2016/5/6/11597550/superdelegates-bernie-sanders-clinton\" target=\"_blank\">call blatantly unfair\u003c/a>).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last technical thing to keep in mind (for now) in this incredibly complicated process: a primary or caucus is considered \"closed\" when participation is limited to only registered members of that party, \"open\" when participation is open to all registered voters and \"mixed\" when independent voters are allowed to participate.\u003c/p>\n\n",

In most states, delegates are allocated proportionately based on the results of the primary or caucus (although in a handful of Republican contests, including Florida and Delaware, the Republican primary is winner-take-all).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This means, unless the race remains incredibly close into the late spring -- which was a possibility this year --each party's nomination is generally secured long before a decent number of states get to vote. The staggered nature of this system affords candidates the luxury of focusing resources on specific areas of the country rather than trying to be everywhere at once.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\u003ciframe src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/videoseries?list=PLtJ3pGPLv8AQcwBE_7C5V3iNlXznMJTWZ\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/aside>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>However, the system is also somewhat controversial, in that millions of voters in late-primary states -- \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/03/15/why-is-californias-presidential-primary-so-late\" target=\"_blank\">including California \u003c/a> -- often miss out on the opportunity to directly impact the outcome of their party's nomination. Opponents of the process argue that this gives undue influence to small, largely white, rural early-voting states like Iowa and New Hampshire, which they say, can result in nominees who don't necessarily represent the preferences of the larger U.S. electorate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Note that most delegates are \"pledged,\" meaning they are mandated to support a particular candidate at their party's national convention in July. However, each party also has a certain number of unpledged delegates, and these guys can support whoever they want. In the Republican Party they're called \"unbound delegates\" and make up about 7 percent of the total delegate count. In the Democratic Party, they're known as \"superdelegates\" and make up 15 percent of the delegate count. As mentioned earlier, Clinton is ahead of Sanders in the pledged delegate count. But what makes her overall lead so formidable is the overwhelming portion of party superdelegates, who have committed to supporting her (a process that Sanders and his supporters \u003ca href=\"http://www.vox.com/2016/5/6/11597550/superdelegates-bernie-sanders-clinton\" target=\"_blank\">call blatantly unfair\u003c/a>).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last technical thing to keep in mind (for now) in this incredibly complicated process: a primary or caucus is considered \"closed\" when participation is limited to only registered members of that party, \"open\" when participation is open to all registered voters and \"mixed\" when independent voters are allowed to participate.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The price varies based on how many signatures are needed and how quickly, as well as the difficulty of explaining the measure to voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"n9DG4RSTlRyRB2zXuIO7z9YjEjtai9KB\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leading the pack currently at $5.50 per name is an initiative that would require a 72-hour waiting period before state lawmakers can pass each bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I’ve never seen prices this high before on these petitions,\" Carl Towe of CTA Petition Management told his crew of signature gatherers on a recorded call last month. \"So you got a chance to make a lot of money here.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is nationwide enterprise. Signature gatherers will sometimes migrate from state-to-state with their initiative processes. The competition has squeezed out at least two ballot measures in California -- one to divert high-speed rail funds to water projects, the other a property tax initiative. Consultants are now recommending campaigns budget roughly $5 million for signature gathering.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The industry has been criticized for essentially putting a bounty on each name. Critics say it incentivizes signature gatherers to mislead people about what they’re signing, and since they’re independent contractors, the companies aren’t liable. Towe dismisses those complaints.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s right there in front of them. You can’t make somebody read something if they don’t want to or they don’t have time or whatever,\" says Towe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The amount of money involved has drawn critics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kathay Feng with California Cause, an open government group, says the initiative system was designed to give Californians a direct voice in government, but the cost has grown prohibitive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The regular average Californian is largely shut out of that process,\" Feng says. \"Unless you have access to millions of dollars, you really don’t have that safety valve anymore.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>California Counts is a collaboration of KPBS, KPCC, KQED and Capital Public Radio to report on the 2016 election.

The price varies based on how many signatures are needed and how quickly, as well as the difficulty of explaining the measure to voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leading the pack currently at $5.50 per name is an initiative that would require a 72-hour waiting period before state lawmakers can pass each bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I’ve never seen prices this high before on these petitions,\" Carl Towe of CTA Petition Management told his crew of signature gatherers on a recorded call last month. \"So you got a chance to make a lot of money here.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is nationwide enterprise. Signature gatherers will sometimes migrate from state-to-state with their initiative processes. The competition has squeezed out at least two ballot measures in California -- one to divert high-speed rail funds to water projects, the other a property tax initiative. Consultants are now recommending campaigns budget roughly $5 million for signature gathering.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The industry has been criticized for essentially putting a bounty on each name. Critics say it incentivizes signature gatherers to mislead people about what they’re signing, and since they’re independent contractors, the companies aren’t liable. Towe dismisses those complaints.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s right there in front of them. You can’t make somebody read something if they don’t want to or they don’t have time or whatever,\" says Towe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The amount of money involved has drawn critics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kathay Feng with California Cause, an open government group, says the initiative system was designed to give Californians a direct voice in government, but the cost has grown prohibitive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The regular average Californian is largely shut out of that process,\" Feng says. \"Unless you have access to millions of dollars, you really don’t have that safety valve anymore.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>California Counts is a collaboration of KPBS, KPCC, KQED and Capital Public Radio to report on the 2016 election.

While her office's criminal probe launched with a punch when Peevey’s home was searched, the investigation is now dragging on without result, they said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJ5F1yydMtY&feature=youtu.be\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris declined to be interviewed for this story. Her office also declined to answer any questions about the inquiry into the San Onofre settlement. A statement released by her spokesman said, \"Criminal investigations are very serious. To protect the integrity of our investigations, we can’t comment on potential ongoing investigations.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>More Search Warrants Issued\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Six months after Harris’ investigators searched Peevey’s house, the attorney general obtained more \u003ca href=\"http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/2015/jul/06/two-new-warrants-served-in-cpuc-case/\">search warrants\u003c/a>. This time they were for the centers of power in the San Onofre case — Edison and the offices of state regulators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the attorney general's investigators never went in, according to court documents. Instead, they served the search warrants to Edison and the CPUC and asked them to turn over all documents and communications related to the San Onofre settlement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You don’t drop it off at the front door and say, ‘Hey, gee, send me your records,’\" said Aguirre, a former federal prosecutor and San Diego city attorney. “That’s the whole point of a search warrant. ... You go in and you execute the search warrant and you seize the records, because you’re concerned they’re going to disappear.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said using the full power of the search warrant is essential if the public is ever to get the truth from state regulators and Edison over how the San Onofre settlement was reached.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s so much momentum behind the unlawful conduct, the search warrant is the only device you can use, unless you can have some sort of wiretap,” Aguirre said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>CPUC Slow to Turn Over Records\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Edison has turned over some records to the State Attorney General's Office. The CPUC, however, has \u003ca href=\"http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/2015/aug/25/cpuc-warrant-return-no-records/\">withheld many of the documents\u003c/a> on grounds they don’t have enough resources to work on producing the documents. The agency also is claiming some of the records are privileged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris hasn’t challenged the CPUC’s privilege assertion. \u003ca href=\"http://www.rgrdlaw.com/attorneys-Jason-A-Forge.html\">Jason Forge\u003c/a>, a former San Diego federal prosecutor, said the attorney general would likely prevail if she did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The PUC is the state, and so if the PUC is the state and the state is the client, that’s who controls the privilege. The person at the top of the state is Gov. (Jerry) Brown, and he could waive the privilege,” Forge said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown’s own office has exchanged emails about San Onofre with the CPUC. The CPUC is refusing to release those emails as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Only Aguirre has \u003ca href=\"http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/2015/nov/13/brown-san-onofre-emails/\">demanded\u003c/a> the CPUC make the communications public, not Harris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also successfully \u003ca href=\"http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/2016/mar/09/kline-out/\">sought the removal\u003c/a> of appeals court Justice J. Anthony Kline from the case because Kline had gone to law school with Brown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aguirre said it’s puzzling that Harris hasn’t made the same efforts he has.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She has no presence,” Aguirre said. “She has no involvement.

Her office also declined to answer any questions about the inquiry into the San Onofre settlement. A statement released by her spokesman said, \"Criminal investigations are very serious. To protect the integrity of our investigations, we can’t comment on potential ongoing investigations.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>More Search Warrants Issued\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Six months after Harris’ investigators searched Peevey’s house, the attorney general obtained more \u003ca href=\"http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/2015/jul/06/two-new-warrants-served-in-cpuc-case/\">search warrants\u003c/a>. This time they were for the centers of power in the San Onofre case — Edison and the offices of state regulators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the attorney general's investigators never went in, according to court documents. Instead, they served the search warrants to Edison and the CPUC and asked them to turn over all documents and communications related to the San Onofre settlement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You don’t drop it off at the front door and say, ‘Hey, gee, send me your records,’\" said Aguirre, a former federal prosecutor and San Diego city attorney. “That’s the whole point of a search warrant. ... You go in and you execute the search warrant and you seize the records, because you’re concerned they’re going to disappear.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said using the full power of the search warrant is essential if the public is ever to get the truth from state regulators and Edison over how the San Onofre settlement was reached.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s so much momentum behind the unlawful conduct, the search warrant is the only device you can use, unless you can have some sort of wiretap,” Aguirre said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>CPUC Slow to Turn Over Records\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Edison has turned over some records to the State Attorney General's Office. The CPUC, however, has \u003ca href=\"http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/2015/aug/25/cpuc-warrant-return-no-records/\">withheld many of the documents\u003c/a> on grounds they don’t have enough resources to work on producing the documents. The agency also is claiming some of the records are privileged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris hasn’t challenged the CPUC’s privilege assertion. \u003ca href=\"http://www.rgrdlaw.com/attorneys-Jason-A-Forge.html\">Jason Forge\u003c/a>, a former San Diego federal prosecutor, said the attorney general would likely prevail if she did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The PUC is the state, and so if the PUC is the state and the state is the client, that’s who controls the privilege. The person at the top of the state is Gov. (Jerry) Brown, and he could waive the privilege,” Forge said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown’s own office has exchanged emails about San Onofre with the CPUC. The CPUC is refusing to release those emails as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Only Aguirre has \u003ca href=\"http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/2015/nov/13/brown-san-onofre-emails/\">demanded\u003c/a> the CPUC make the communications public, not Harris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also successfully \u003ca href=\"http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/2016/mar/09/kline-out/\">sought the removal\u003c/a> of appeals court Justice J.
