"content": "\u003cp>Even if Hillary Clinton does win the White House on Tuesday, the tightening of the presidential race in the final week has been the most detrimental to Democrats' down-ballot hopes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In mid-October, Clinton's campaign looked like it would easily cruise to a win. Then, rising ObamaCare premiums hit, along with possible new emails that surfaced related to her private server. Subsequently, polls across the board began to show closer races. Even though FBI Director James Comey said Sunday afternoon that the FBI's original decision \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/11/06/500929164/comey-we-have-not-changed-our-conclusions-as-fbi-finishes-clinton-email-review\">not to recommend charges\u003c/a> against Clinton stands, any momentum Democrats hoped to get in House races from a big Clinton victory has now likely dissipated. And a fairly on-message, disciplined Trump in the final days has helped Republicans as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In our initial rankings of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2016/10/24/499082622/house-top-40-flipping-control-still-a-tough-task-for-democrats\">top 40 competitive congressional districts\u003c/a> two weeks ago, we wrote that a good night for Democrats would be flipping 20 districts. However, that still left them shy of the 30 seats they need to win back the House majority. Now, 12 to 15 seats would be a very good night, back to pretty much where it was when the cycle started. Democrats, though, hope the latest news in the FBI saga — again clearing Clinton — could boost them on Election Day. But even fewer Democratic gains are possible, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats' biggest problems remain that there simply aren't enough districts ripe for them to flip, and likely won't be until the next round of redistricting before the 2022 elections. And in some of the places where they have to pick up seats — like upstate New York, Iowa and more blue-collar areas of Michigan and Wisconsin — Trump remains relatively popular and isn't necessarily the drag on GOP candidates he is elsewhere in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump does complicate GOP hopes in districts with heavy Hispanic populations in places like Florida, Texas and California. And several longtime Republican incumbents have simple been caught asleep at the wheel, not taking their races — and the impact of Trump in their district — seriously until too late.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Republicans' \"check and balance\" argument also seems to be resonating with voters. The GOP hopes that even if Clinton wins, voters who may not like either candidate will split their tickets and make sure there is a check on a possible Clinton administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a rundown of the particulars in many of these races, the summaries we did two weeks ago remain relatively unchanged. We have a guide below of which races to watch on Election Night, and have reranked the pickup targets for each party in likelihood of which districts are most probable to flip.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[http_redir]\u003cbr>\n[LikelyToFlip]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Remember, Democrats will likely already net a total of at least two districts due to mid-decade court-ordered redistricting — two, possibly three, in Florida and one in Virginia. Republicans will also net one district in Florida.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are some of the big themes in congressional races and types of districts to keep an eye on Tuesday night:\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>1. GOP Veterans in Trouble\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Some of the Republican incumbents most likely to lose may have themselves mostly to blame. Florida Rep. John Mica, for example, didn't take his redrawn seat with plenty of new territory into account, coupled with possible Trump backlash in a district with a growing Hispanic population. But he also didn't have the fundamental basics of a campaign either, and \u003ca href=\"http://www.politico.com/story/2016/11/john-mica-reelection-fight-230530\">admitted\u003c/a> just two weeks ago that he doesn't have a campaign manager or a full-time communications director. National Republicans have been forced to spend heavily to try and save the former House Transportation Committee chairman, but even that may not be enough. And even though his opponent, Stephanie Murphy, a college professor and national security consultant, got a late start in the race, she's proved to be a very formidable candidate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa also didn't look like he was taking his race seriously until very late either. The California Republican is the wealthiest member of Congress and could have spent unlimited amounts to save himself early on, but \u003ca href=\"http://elections.kqed.org/article/politics-and-government/11125809/political-vet-in-surprisingly-tough-race-with-a-political-unknown\" target=\"_blank\">now he finds himself in a dogfight\u003c/a> against retired Marine Col. Doug Applegate. His district is a volatile one anyway — Obama narrowly won it in 2008 but then Mitt Romney carried it by almost 7 points — and its stretch from parts of Orange County to northern San Diego is certainly not Trump country. Issa's even been pointing out areas where he's agreed with Obama, which the president \u003ca href=\"http://www.politico.com/story/2016/10/obama-issa-darrell-230218\">said\u003c/a> was the \"definition of chutzpah\" from the dogged former chief House investigator who went after his administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11163895\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11163895\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/Issa-800x513.jpg\" alt=\"California Rep.

Darrell Issa arrives for a U.S. House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing in 2014. \u003ccite>(Nicholas Kamm/AFP/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>New Jersey Republican Scott Garrett also finds himself in hot water because of comments he reportedly made last cycle disparaging the National Republican Congressional Committee for supporting gay candidates. That's hurt his ability to fundraise from his usual top financial firms. Meanwhile, his Democratic opponent, former Microsoft executive Josh Gottheimer, has outraised him and allowed him to point to Garrett's very conservative record that many voters weren't aware of. Democrats like their chances a lot here, while Republicans don't.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then there's New Hampshire Rep. Frank Guinta, who's facing off against former Democratic Rep. Carol Shea Porter for the fourth time. They've traded this district back and forth since 2010, and last year Guinta found himself embroiled in a campaign finance scandal. He narrowly won his primary, and Republicans really wish he hadn't. He was still doing surprisingly well at one point, but probably won't hang on.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>2. Hispanic District Headaches for Republicans\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Some of Republicans' strongest incumbents come from districts with rising Latino populations, which makes this a nightmare year for them to try and overcome the top of the ticket. Florida Rep. Carlos Curbelo is a rising GOP star, and in a normal year would again probably beat former Democratic Rep. Joe Garcia, who has plenty of damaging baggage. Curbelo isn't supporting Trump, but it still might not be enough for him in his Miami district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The same is true for Texas Rep. Will Hurd, one of just two African-American Republicans in the House. Hurd has also denounced Trump. The former CIA operative represents an expansive district, which reaches from El Paso to San Antonio along over 800 miles of the Mexican border. Former Democratic Rep. Pete Gallego is hoping Hispanic voters who didn't show up two years ago will help him win this seat back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several California seats are giving Republicans headaches, too. Rep. Jeff Denham wasn't a top worry earlier in the year, especially given that he beat his Democratic challenger Michael Eggman by 10 points just two years ago. But now their rematch in this 40 percent Hispanic district is much tighter than anyone thought it would be. However, this district also doesn't have a large share of college-educated voters either, so Republicans hope Trump won't be enough of a drag to hurt Denham. Still, there's no race at the top of the ticket in California to motivate GOP voters who may not like Trump to turn out anyway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11163953\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11163953\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/Denham-800x940.jpg\" alt=\"Republican California Rep.

Jeff Denham is battling Democratic challenger Michael Eggman in a rematch that's much tighter than anyone thought it would be. \u003ccite>(Wikimedia Commons)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>And Rep. David Valadao represents a Central Valley district that's over 70 percent Hispanic, which should make him ripe for a loss. The strong incumbent looked to be safe for a long time, especially since he was running against a weak challenger in Emilio Huerta, son of famed labor leader Dolores Huerta, who barely survived the primary and has also barely any money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Democratic superPAC House Majority PAC went in here late, hoping it was becoming more competitive, but it's still a long shot. It also illustrates that some of these contests could be much more competitive for Democrats with better candidates in some districts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Nevada could be the real place that gives Democrats at least one, maybe two, prime pickups, especially with encouraging turnout numbers for Democrats and Latinos on the final day of early voting. Veteran Nevada political analyst Jon Ralston \u003ca href=\"http://www.rgj.com/story/news/politics/2016/11/05/ralston-how-deep-does-blue-wave-go/93349220/\">analyzed\u003c/a> the early numbers and predicted that freshman Rep. Cresent Hardy is likely toast. The open seat of GOP Rep. Joe Heck, who's running for Senate, may be as well, even though that one's more favorable for Republicans.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>3. The Election Night Bellwethers\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Look at these districts to see just how big Democratic pickups will be on Tuesday night. We profiled the race in Virginia's 10th District, maybe one of the best bellwethers in the country to see whether Democrats' efforts to tie Republican incumbents to Trump will be effective and if real estate developer LuAnn Bennett can win this suburban Northern Virginia district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Philadelphia suburbs have also been challenging for Trump and for GOP Sen. Pat Toomey. Both parties think the 8th District open seat race between Brian Fitzpatrick, who's running to succeed his retiring brother Mike, and Democratic state Rep. Steve Santarsiero, could be one of the closest in the country on Election Night. Both these Virginia and Pennsylvania seats are the types of ones that Democrats can't afford to lose if they want to make significant gains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Demographics and partisan breakdown alone show that GOP Rep. Mike Coffman, representing Aurora and the Denver suburbs, should be in trouble in Colorado, should be in trouble. But the four-term congressman worked to separate himself early on from Trump, and this one is harder for Democrats and challenger Morgan Carroll because of his strengths. Still, if Democrats flip this one, it's a good sign other races around the country may follow, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>4. Trump Coattails?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>One of the biggest problems for Democrats is that in some of the seats they need to win to even try and get to 30 seats, Trump isn't really that toxic. Take freshman Rep. Rod Blum — Obama won his northeastern Iowa district by 14 points four years ago, and he's a member of the very conservative Freedom Caucus to boot. But the race is still very much in play in a place Democrats thought would be a relatively easy pickup. Trump is doing very well in the Hawkeye State and will likely win it. This is a heavily white district where less than a quarter of people have college degrees. Priorities USA, the main superPAC backing Clinton, made their \u003ca href=\"http://www.rollcall.com/news/politics/priorities-usa-steps-into-iowa-house-race\">only foray\u003c/a> into congressional races here, and the fact they're spending in what should be a Democratic district shows it's far from a done deal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On paper, New York districts should be ripe for Democratic pickups, too. There are five districts there held by Republicans that Obama carried in 2012, but Democrats would be lucky to even win one of them. Polls have shown freshman Republicans Lee Zeldin (Long Island) and John Katko (Syracuse) holding on. And late polls show Republican John Faso leading Democrat Zephyr Teachout in an open GOP-held seat in the Hudson Valley, too. Democrats' best chance for a pickup is in the open Utica-based 22nd District, and even then a victory would be largely because of a three-way race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic targets in Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota are also much harder than they expected, because these are blue-collar, largely white districts where trade, one of the central issues Trump has seized on, is resonating and helping GOP candidates.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>5. Wave Districts to Watch\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Democrats continue to hope that some other suburban GOP-held districts could go their way if Trump collapses there, though at this juncture that looks increasingly unlikely. Keep an eye on Minnesota Rep. Erik Paulsen in the Twin Cities suburbs. Recent polls showed Clinton leading comfortably there, but so was Paulsen. Democrats have hoped to flip this one for some time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Colorado Rep. Scott Tipton's massive western Colorado district is another GOP seat Democrats think could go their way if Clinton does incredibly well in the state, but that's again another long shot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Kevin Yoder's Kansas City district is another one to keep an eye on. Democrats have hammered him on unpopular education cuts and tied him to Republican Gov. Sam Brownback, whose approval ratings have cratered. Romney carried this district pretty comfortably, but John McCain only barely carried it in 2008. There are growing pockets of Latino populations here, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>6. Republican Offensive Opportunities\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The GOP is almost entirely playing offense this year, which makes sense because they largely maxed out their conference with 247 seats after the 2014 midterms, hitting their largest post-World War II majority ever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there are a few Democratic-held seats that Republicans could flip as well on Tuesday. Atop that list is the northern Palm Beach County district being vacated by Rep. Patrick Murphy, who's running for Senate. This one performs better for the GOP in presidential years anyway, and Republicans have a great candidate in Army veteran Brian Mast, who lost both of his legs in Afghanistan and was awarded the Purple Heart. Meanwhile, Democratic nominee Randy Perkins, who owns an environmental cleanup company, has proven to be a very volatile and polarizing candidate, and most Democrats concede they'll probably lose this seat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are no other completely clear-cut wins, but some races are still in play. Nebraska Blue Dog Rep. Brad Ashford's own polling shows he's still winning this district, but Republicans have hope that retired Air Force Brigadier Gen. Don Bacon could pull the upset.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clinton isn't popular in Minnesota's Iron Range, which makes Republicans optimistic about Republican Stewart Mills' chances in his rematch with Democratic Rep. Rick Nolan after he lost by just over 3,700 votes in 2014. Trump can certainly help Mills here, but Nolan survived in a good GOP year and remains relatively popular.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2016 NPR.

And a fairly on-message, disciplined Trump in the final days has helped Republicans as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In our initial rankings of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2016/10/24/499082622/house-top-40-flipping-control-still-a-tough-task-for-democrats\">top 40 competitive congressional districts\u003c/a> two weeks ago, we wrote that a good night for Democrats would be flipping 20 districts. However, that still left them shy of the 30 seats they need to win back the House majority. Now, 12 to 15 seats would be a very good night, back to pretty much where it was when the cycle started. Democrats, though, hope the latest news in the FBI saga — again clearing Clinton — could boost them on Election Day. But even fewer Democratic gains are possible, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats' biggest problems remain that there simply aren't enough districts ripe for them to flip, and likely won't be until the next round of redistricting before the 2022 elections. And in some of the places where they have to pick up seats — like upstate New York, Iowa and more blue-collar areas of Michigan and Wisconsin — Trump remains relatively popular and isn't necessarily the drag on GOP candidates he is elsewhere in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump does complicate GOP hopes in districts with heavy Hispanic populations in places like Florida, Texas and California. And several longtime Republican incumbents have simple been caught asleep at the wheel, not taking their races — and the impact of Trump in their district — seriously until too late.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The GOP hopes that even if Clinton wins, voters who may not like either candidate will split their tickets and make sure there is a check on a possible Clinton administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a rundown of the particulars in many of these races, the summaries we did two weeks ago remain relatively unchanged.

Republicans will also net one district in Florida.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are some of the big themes in congressional races and types of districts to keep an eye on Tuesday night:\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>1. GOP Veterans in Trouble\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Some of the Republican incumbents most likely to lose may have themselves mostly to blame. Florida Rep. John Mica, for example, didn't take his redrawn seat with plenty of new territory into account, coupled with possible Trump backlash in a district with a growing Hispanic population. But he also didn't have the fundamental basics of a campaign either, and \u003ca href=\"http://www.politico.com/story/2016/11/john-mica-reelection-fight-230530\">admitted\u003c/a> just two weeks ago that he doesn't have a campaign manager or a full-time communications director. National Republicans have been forced to spend heavily to try and save the former House Transportation Committee chairman, but even that may not be enough. And even though his opponent, Stephanie Murphy, a college professor and national security consultant, got a late start in the race, she's proved to be a very formidable candidate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa also didn't look like he was taking his race seriously until very late either. The California Republican is the wealthiest member of Congress and could have spent unlimited amounts to save himself early on, but \u003ca href=\"http://elections.kqed.org/article/politics-and-government/11125809/political-vet-in-surprisingly-tough-race-with-a-political-unknown\" target=\"_blank\">now he finds himself in a dogfight\u003c/a> against retired Marine Col. Doug Applegate. His district is a volatile one anyway — Obama narrowly won it in 2008 but then Mitt Romney carried it by almost 7 points — and its stretch from parts of Orange County to northern San Diego is certainly not Trump country. Issa's even been pointing out areas where he's agreed with Obama, which the president \u003ca href=\"http://www.politico.com/story/2016/10/obama-issa-darrell-230218\">said\u003c/a> was the \"definition of chutzpah\" from the dogged former chief House investigator who went after his administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11163895\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11163895\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/Issa-800x513.jpg\" alt=\"California Rep.

That's hurt his ability to fundraise from his usual top financial firms. Meanwhile, his Democratic opponent, former Microsoft executive Josh Gottheimer, has outraised him and allowed him to point to Garrett's very conservative record that many voters weren't aware of. Democrats like their chances a lot here, while Republicans don't.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then there's New Hampshire Rep. Frank Guinta, who's facing off against former Democratic Rep. Carol Shea Porter for the fourth time. They've traded this district back and forth since 2010, and last year Guinta found himself embroiled in a campaign finance scandal. He narrowly won his primary, and Republicans really wish he hadn't. He was still doing surprisingly well at one point, but probably won't hang on.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>2. Hispanic District Headaches for Republicans\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Some of Republicans' strongest incumbents come from districts with rising Latino populations, which makes this a nightmare year for them to try and overcome the top of the ticket. Florida Rep. Carlos Curbelo is a rising GOP star, and in a normal year would again probably beat former Democratic Rep. Joe Garcia, who has plenty of damaging baggage. Curbelo isn't supporting Trump, but it still might not be enough for him in his Miami district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The same is true for Texas Rep. Will Hurd, one of just two African-American Republicans in the House. Hurd has also denounced Trump. The former CIA operative represents an expansive district, which reaches from El Paso to San Antonio along over 800 miles of the Mexican border. Former Democratic Rep. Pete Gallego is hoping Hispanic voters who didn't show up two years ago will help him win this seat back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several California seats are giving Republicans headaches, too. Rep. Jeff Denham wasn't a top worry earlier in the year, especially given that he beat his Democratic challenger Michael Eggman by 10 points just two years ago. But now their rematch in this 40 percent Hispanic district is much tighter than anyone thought it would be. However, this district also doesn't have a large share of college-educated voters either, so Republicans hope Trump won't be enough of a drag to hurt Denham. Still, there's no race at the top of the ticket in California to motivate GOP voters who may not like Trump to turn out anyway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11163953\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11163953\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/Denham-800x940.jpg\" alt=\"Republican California Rep.

David Valadao represents a Central Valley district that's over 70 percent Hispanic, which should make him ripe for a loss. The strong incumbent looked to be safe for a long time, especially since he was running against a weak challenger in Emilio Huerta, son of famed labor leader Dolores Huerta, who barely survived the primary and has also barely any money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Democratic superPAC House Majority PAC went in here late, hoping it was becoming more competitive, but it's still a long shot. It also illustrates that some of these contests could be much more competitive for Democrats with better candidates in some districts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Nevada could be the real place that gives Democrats at least one, maybe two, prime pickups, especially with encouraging turnout numbers for Democrats and Latinos on the final day of early voting. Veteran Nevada political analyst Jon Ralston \u003ca href=\"http://www.rgj.com/story/news/politics/2016/11/05/ralston-how-deep-does-blue-wave-go/93349220/\">analyzed\u003c/a> the early numbers and predicted that freshman Rep. Cresent Hardy is likely toast. The open seat of GOP Rep. Joe Heck, who's running for Senate, may be as well, even though that one's more favorable for Republicans.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>3. The Election Night Bellwethers\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Look at these districts to see just how big Democratic pickups will be on Tuesday night. We profiled the race in Virginia's 10th District, maybe one of the best bellwethers in the country to see whether Democrats' efforts to tie Republican incumbents to Trump will be effective and if real estate developer LuAnn Bennett can win this suburban Northern Virginia district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Philadelphia suburbs have also been challenging for Trump and for GOP Sen. Pat Toomey. Both parties think the 8th District open seat race between Brian Fitzpatrick, who's running to succeed his retiring brother Mike, and Democratic state Rep. Steve Santarsiero, could be one of the closest in the country on Election Night. Both these Virginia and Pennsylvania seats are the types of ones that Democrats can't afford to lose if they want to make significant gains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Demographics and partisan breakdown alone show that GOP Rep. Mike Coffman, representing Aurora and the Denver suburbs, should be in trouble in Colorado, should be in trouble. But the four-term congressman worked to separate himself early on from Trump, and this one is harder for Democrats and challenger Morgan Carroll because of his strengths. Still, if Democrats flip this one, it's a good sign other races around the country may follow, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>4. Trump Coattails?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>One of the biggest problems for Democrats is that in some of the seats they need to win to even try and get to 30 seats, Trump isn't really that toxic. Take freshman Rep. Rod Blum — Obama won his northeastern Iowa district by 14 points four years ago, and he's a member of the very conservative Freedom Caucus to boot. But the race is still very much in play in a place Democrats thought would be a relatively easy pickup. Trump is doing very well in the Hawkeye State and will likely win it. This is a heavily white district where less than a quarter of people have college degrees. Priorities USA, the main superPAC backing Clinton, made their \u003ca href=\"http://www.rollcall.com/news/politics/priorities-usa-steps-into-iowa-house-race\">only foray\u003c/a> into congressional races here, and the fact they're spending in what should be a Democratic district shows it's far from a done deal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On paper, New York districts should be ripe for Democratic pickups, too. There are five districts there held by Republicans that Obama carried in 2012, but Democrats would be lucky to even win one of them. Polls have shown freshman Republicans Lee Zeldin (Long Island) and John Katko (Syracuse) holding on. And late polls show Republican John Faso leading Democrat Zephyr Teachout in an open GOP-held seat in the Hudson Valley, too. Democrats' best chance for a pickup is in the open Utica-based 22nd District, and even then a victory would be largely because of a three-way race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democratic targets in Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota are also much harder than they expected, because these are blue-collar, largely white districts where trade, one of the central issues Trump has seized on, is resonating and helping GOP candidates.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>5. Wave Districts to Watch\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Democrats continue to hope that some other suburban GOP-held districts could go their way if Trump collapses there, though at this juncture that looks increasingly unlikely. Keep an eye on Minnesota Rep. Erik Paulsen in the Twin Cities suburbs. Recent polls showed Clinton leading comfortably there, but so was Paulsen. Democrats have hoped to flip this one for some time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Colorado Rep. Scott Tipton's massive western Colorado district is another GOP seat Democrats think could go their way if Clinton does incredibly well in the state, but that's again another long shot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Kevin Yoder's Kansas City district is another one to keep an eye on. Democrats have hammered him on unpopular education cuts and tied him to Republican Gov. Sam Brownback, whose approval ratings have cratered. Romney carried this district pretty comfortably, but John McCain only barely carried it in 2008. There are growing pockets of Latino populations here, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>6. Republican Offensive Opportunities\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The GOP is almost entirely playing offense this year, which makes sense because they largely maxed out their conference with 247 seats after the 2014 midterms, hitting their largest post-World War II majority ever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there are a few Democratic-held seats that Republicans could flip as well on Tuesday. Atop that list is the northern Palm Beach County district being vacated by Rep. Patrick Murphy, who's running for Senate. This one performs better for the GOP in presidential years anyway, and Republicans have a great candidate in Army veteran Brian Mast, who lost both of his legs in Afghanistan and was awarded the Purple Heart. Meanwhile, Democratic nominee Randy Perkins, who owns an environmental cleanup company, has proven to be a very volatile and polarizing candidate, and most Democrats concede they'll probably lose this seat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are no other completely clear-cut wins, but some races are still in play. Nebraska Blue Dog Rep. Brad Ashford's own polling shows he's still winning this district, but Republicans have hope that retired Air Force Brigadier Gen. Don Bacon could pull the upset.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clinton isn't popular in Minnesota's Iron Range, which makes Republicans optimistic about Republican Stewart Mills' chances in his rematch with Democratic Rep. Rick Nolan after he lost by just over 3,700 votes in 2014. Trump can certainly help Mills here, but Nolan survived in a good GOP year and remains relatively popular.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

With such great “talent,” we were able to turn the photos into postcards for you to share around (we’re posting many to our social accounts, like \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/KQEDnews/\">Facebook\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/KQEDnews\">Twitter\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/kqednews/\">Instagram\u003c/a>) or simply to express your feelings about the election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Choose your forever friends postcard and share with your loved ones, friends and co-workers. Most importantly, consider giving a furry friend a furever home. \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfspca.org/\">SFSPCA\u003c/a> has many wonderful pets-to-be up for adoption (and interestingly, within a day of our photo shoot a lot of these gals and fellas had found families), as do many other shelters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And as for the election … hold on everyone, it’s almost over!\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11163589\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11163589\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS21780_161103_SPCAdogsandcats_bhs01-qut-1-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Animals Offer Election Relief\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS21780_161103_SPCAdogsandcats_bhs01-qut-1-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS21780_161103_SPCAdogsandcats_bhs01-qut-1-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS21780_161103_SPCAdogsandcats_bhs01-qut-1-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS21780_161103_SPCAdogsandcats_bhs01-qut-1.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS21780_161103_SPCAdogsandcats_bhs01-qut-1-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS21780_161103_SPCAdogsandcats_bhs01-qut-1-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS21780_161103_SPCAdogsandcats_bhs01-qut-1-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS21780_161103_SPCAdogsandcats_bhs01-qut-1-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/RS21780_161103_SPCAdogsandcats_bhs01-qut-1-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jeeves has recently found his family, but many other animals are awaiting adoption.

"content": "\u003cp>In the final days before Election Day, the congressional race to represent northern Los Angeles County and parts of Ventura County has turned into one of the most competitive in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republican U.S. Rep. Steve Knight has been deemed California's most vulnerable congressional incumbent in 2016, according to an analysis by the nonpartisan \u003ca href=\"http://cookpolitical.com/\">Cook Political Report\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This 25th Congressional District has been a Republican stronghold. But in recent years, the demographics of the population have been shifting and growing more diverse. Democrats in the district now outnumber Republicans, although barely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The changes underway in the district have led to a competitive race for the congressional seat. Knight is facing a serious, well-financed challenge from first-time office seeker Bryan Caforio, a Democrat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Voters in the district have been inundated by campaign ads and materials from both sides.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sandra Cattell, the political chair of the Sierra Club's local chapter, describes herself as a Democrat who works with Republicans in what was once solid GOP country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cattell said the congressional race has turned negative. Couple it with the presidential campaign, and she said even her Republican friends are fed up with this election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There’s so many mailers, there’s so much online, there’s so much on TV. And a lot of it is so negative. It’s just been overwhelming for people,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Caforio's challenge to Knight has made headlines across the country, and the race has drawn a flood of fundraising dollars from national Democrats and Republicans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Oct. 19 campaign finance reports compiled by \u003ca href=\"https://www.opensecrets.org/races/summary.php?cycle=2016&id=CA25\">OpenSecrets.org\u003c/a>, Knight has spent $1.4 million to Caforio's $1.2 million. But outside groups have also spent heavily in the race, with $2.7 million spent in opposition to Knight and $1.7 million against Caforio in 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the Democrats seek to gain ground in the U.S. House, the race is a high-stakes political contest. President Obama recently endorsed Caforio and taped a TV ad for him, and House Speaker Paul Ryan flew in for a local fundraiser for Knight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Knight, a freshman congressman, has decided not to do media interviews in the final days before the election. Communicating through his campaign’s political director, he declined an interview with KPCC for this story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But during a recent debate with Caforio hosted by \u003ca href=\"https://soundcloud.com/thetalkofsantaclarita\">a local podcast called The Talk of Santa Clarita\u003c/a>, Knight talked about his stands on issues like gun control. He said he would not support a ban on assault rifles like the AR-15.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We will not go out and target a single weapon. I think that people understand that,\" he said, adding that it would lead to targeting every handgun.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His opponent supports a ban on assault rifles. \"I hear what Congressman Knight says.

That's much higher than the general American population. Only about half of American voters turned out for the last presidential election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inside the mosque, about 100 people gathered on folding chairs to listen to three people in a\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utp4bJkMwx8\"> mock debate\u003c/a>. As women wearing hijabs sat on one side of the room and men sat on the other, a Hillary Clinton-supporting Democrat, a Donald Trump-supporting Republican and a woman who doesn't like either major candidate debated election-related issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Safouh Tabbaa, who came to the U.S. from Syria several decades ago, was in the crowd.

He's a Latino Christian who's been fascinated by the Middle East since he was a kid. So, he studies Islam at the mosque.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he knows what it's like to feel marginalized.

We're set for it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under that kind of fear, pushed along by stereotypes of the Muslim community, Martinez said it's harder to get the group more involved in the election process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's hard to engage when you feel like you're under the microscope,\" Martinez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's tough to find a Trump supporter among this crowd. The CAIR voter study found 72 percent of Muslim voters plan to vote for Hillary Clinton, with only 4 percent supporting Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Islamic Institute of Orange County Imam Mustafa Umar said they're working to get people involved in politics by holding informative sessions with local candidates and debates on issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're trying.

You're putting out a bunch of candidates that don't have very high respect out there.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Umar said the focus in society needs to shift for true change to happen. \"I think people need to stop being so individualistic and opportunistic and just caring about themselves,\" he says. \"If it's not against our community, it's going to be against another group of minorities or another group of people.

That's much higher than the general American population. Only about half of American voters turned out for the last presidential election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inside the mosque, about 100 people gathered on folding chairs to listen to three people in a\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utp4bJkMwx8\"> mock debate\u003c/a>. As women wearing hijabs sat on one side of the room and men sat on the other, a Hillary Clinton-supporting Democrat, a Donald Trump-supporting Republican and a woman who doesn't like either major candidate debated election-related issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Safouh Tabbaa, who came to the U.S. from Syria several decades ago, was in the crowd. He tried to volunteer for the Democratic National Convention, but got turned down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tabbaa, retired from the clothing business, said he wants to make sure Donald Trump doesn't get in office, because he says the views of the candidate and his supporters don't align with his own.

He's a Latino Christian who's been fascinated by the Middle East since he was a kid. So, he studies Islam at the mosque.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he knows what it's like to feel marginalized. He grew up in the only Latino family in a predominantly white Anaheim neighborhood. Martinez said it feels like the Muslim community is living in fear right now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Communities of color are under attack and the white supremacist rhetoric from Trump, and the Republicans aren't actually condemning that behavior and it scares me,\" Martinez said. \"I think we're fooling ourselves if we think that we can't have another Germany -- what happened in Germany during World War II. We're set for it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under that kind of fear, pushed along by stereotypes of the Muslim community, Martinez said it's harder to get the group more involved in the election process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's hard to engage when you feel like you're under the microscope,\" Martinez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's tough to find a Trump supporter among this crowd. The CAIR voter study found 72 percent of Muslim voters plan to vote for Hillary Clinton, with only 4 percent supporting Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Islamic Institute of Orange County Imam Mustafa Umar said they're working to get people involved in politics by holding informative sessions with local candidates and debates on issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're trying. I think if you really want the Muslim community to be engaged, they need to have trust in the system and I don't think there's too much trust in the system right now that the system works,\" Umar says. \"They think that the two-party system is not very functional. You're putting out a bunch of candidates that don't have very high respect out there.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Umar said the focus in society needs to shift for true change to happen. \"I think people need to stop being so individualistic and opportunistic and just caring about themselves,\" he says. \"If it's not against our community, it's going to be against another group of minorities or another group of people. It's just going to continue that cycle.\"\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

He made no direct mention of the FBI decision and continued to insist —without evidence — that Clinton would be under investigation during her potential presidency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"She's protected by a rigged system,\" he said. \"She shouldn't even be allowed to run for president.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The FBI began investigating the handling of classified material on Clinton's private server in New York shortly after she announced her bid in April 2015. Last July, in an extraordinary public statement on an ongoing case, Comey announced he was not recommending criminal charges against Clinton and called the decision \"not even a close call.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he also delivered blistering criticism of Clinton, calling her and her team \"extremely careless\" with her handling of national secrets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clinton had appeared to be heading for a sweeping victory before the FBI review, but Comey's announcement blunted her momentum. Since then, national polls and battleground states have tightened, though Clinton still appears to hold an edge over Trump in the campaign's last moments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During remarks at a black church Sunday morning, Clinton urged voters to choose \"unity over division\" as she sought to close a caustic presidential campaign on an uplifting note. She warned that President Barack Obama's legacy is on the line, part of her strategy to shore up black voters who may be less enthusiastic about her than about the president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If we come together with the common vision, common faith, we will find common ground,\" Clinton declared.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clinton also planned to campaign alongside basketball superstar LeBron James in his home state of Ohio and appear in New Hampshire with Khizr Khan, the Gold Star father who delivered a stinging indictment of Trump at the Democratic convention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her high-wattage allies also fanned out across the country, including President Barack Obama, who was joined by musician Stevie Wonder at a rally in Florida.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the campaign's final weekend drew to a close, more than 41 million Americans had already cast their ballots in early voting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump opened a day of campaigning in Iowa, the battleground state where he appears in the strongest position. He also planned to make stops in Minnesota, Michigan and Pennsylvania, three states that have reliably voted for Democrats in presidential elections, as well as Virginia, a state Clinton's campaign believes it has a solid hold on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway told reporters Sunday that Trump planned to keep up the pace through Election Day. After voting in New York Tuesday morning, Trump was expected to return to Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio, North Carolina and New Hampshire later in the day, Conway said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The businessman was also facing criticism for a new ad that asserts the \"establishment has trillions of dollars at stake in this election\" and features photos of billionaire George Soros, Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen and Goldman Sachs chief executive Lloyd Blankfein, all of whom are Jewish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The National Jewish Democratic Council said the ad's use of anti-Semitic stereotypes is \"shocking and dangerous.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

He made no direct mention of the FBI decision and continued to insist —without evidence — that Clinton would be under investigation during her potential presidency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"She's protected by a rigged system,\" he said. \"She shouldn't even be allowed to run for president.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The FBI began investigating the handling of classified material on Clinton's private server in New York shortly after she announced her bid in April 2015. Last July, in an extraordinary public statement on an ongoing case, Comey announced he was not recommending criminal charges against Clinton and called the decision \"not even a close call.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he also delivered blistering criticism of Clinton, calling her and her team \"extremely careless\" with her handling of national secrets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clinton had appeared to be heading for a sweeping victory before the FBI review, but Comey's announcement blunted her momentum. Since then, national polls and battleground states have tightened, though Clinton still appears to hold an edge over Trump in the campaign's last moments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During remarks at a black church Sunday morning, Clinton urged voters to choose \"unity over division\" as she sought to close a caustic presidential campaign on an uplifting note. She warned that President Barack Obama's legacy is on the line, part of her strategy to shore up black voters who may be less enthusiastic about her than about the president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If we come together with the common vision, common faith, we will find common ground,\" Clinton declared.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clinton also planned to campaign alongside basketball superstar LeBron James in his home state of Ohio and appear in New Hampshire with Khizr Khan, the Gold Star father who delivered a stinging indictment of Trump at the Democratic convention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her high-wattage allies also fanned out across the country, including President Barack Obama, who was joined by musician Stevie Wonder at a rally in Florida.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the campaign's final weekend drew to a close, more than 41 million Americans had already cast their ballots in early voting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump opened a day of campaigning in Iowa, the battleground state where he appears in the strongest position. He also planned to make stops in Minnesota, Michigan and Pennsylvania, three states that have reliably voted for Democrats in presidential elections, as well as Virginia, a state Clinton's campaign believes it has a solid hold on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway told reporters Sunday that Trump planned to keep up the pace through Election Day. After voting in New York Tuesday morning, Trump was expected to return to Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio, North Carolina and New Hampshire later in the day, Conway said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The businessman was also facing criticism for a new ad that asserts the \"establishment has trillions of dollars at stake in this election\" and features photos of billionaire George Soros, Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen and Goldman Sachs chief executive Lloyd Blankfein, all of whom are Jewish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The National Jewish Democratic Council said the ad's use of anti-Semitic stereotypes is \"shocking and dangerous.\"\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

It’s a 360 degree view of what used to be pine, manzanita.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">“See that little road down there?” Wilensky asks, pointing into the canyon. “That's Hawver Road and there were at least forty to fifty houses along that road that all burned,” he adds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Wilensky witnessed firefighters battling the blaze in this area. He says he showed them how to access the canyons. He said they led a heroic effort and kept the fire from engulfing three nearby towns, including Mountain Ranch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Calaveras resident Bill Schmiett's wasn’t one of the lucky ones. His Mountain Ranch home was destroyed. Earlier in his life, Schmiett worked as a firefighter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">“I’ve seen fire up close before. But it’s a whole different ball game when everything you had is a big pile, a smoking pile of ash and twisted metal roof.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Schmiett is a realtor. In December, right on the heels of the Butte fire, his phone starting ringing like crazy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">“Everybody in the world wanted to buy a piece of land in Calaveras County,” explains Schmiett. “I’m not sure how the county got the national exposure it did. There was quite a bit of activity in bare land for growers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Schmiett recalls that most callers were candid about their intentions to grow cannabis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burnt-out homes still had wells, septic systems and ways to connect to power. Schmiett says that's what growers were looking for. Schmiett says parcels worth $75,000 were going for $200,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Out of town growers were grabbing land before the county or state could regulate marijuana cultivation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11159451\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/Bill20Schmiett_9941_110216P-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Real Estate Agent Bill Schmiett's home was completely destroyed by the 2015 Butte Fire.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11159451\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/Bill20Schmiett_9941_110216P.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/Bill20Schmiett_9941_110216P-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/Bill20Schmiett_9941_110216P-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/Bill20Schmiett_9941_110216P-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/Bill20Schmiett_9941_110216P-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Real Estate Agent Bill Schmiett's home was completely destroyed by the 2015 Butte Fire. \u003ccite>(Andrew Nixon/Capital Public Radio)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">While the Butte fire raged through the Sierra, the California Legislature approved a bill that would pave the way for medical marijuana regulations. Governor Jerry Brown signed the bill into law on October 9, 2015. That law initially set a March 2016 deadline for counties to set their own rules on medical marijuana - otherwise state regulations would apply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Counties scrambled and several decided to ban marijuana grows all together rather than rush through regulations. Meanwhile, the Calaveras County Board of Supervisors moved to regulate marijuana. But several factors delayed passage of the county’s “urgency ordinance” until May 10, 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">As a result there was a nearly six month gap between the Butte Fire and the County’s permitting process going into effect. That gap led to what some have nicknamed “the green rush” of Calaveras.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'Everybody in the world wanted to buy a piece of land in Calaveras County.'\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Peter Maurer is Director of the Calaveras County Planning Department. He says the county anticipated 200-300 applications to grow marijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Instead, says Maurer, “we received 740 commercial applications and an additional 250 personal (or caregiver) operations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Maurer says the intent of the County ordinance was to create a legal registration process. One that would bring in funding to support code enforcement and the Sheriff’s office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">“Let’s regulate it. Let’s fund the resources we need to keep it under control,” explains Maurer. “Eliminate the bad players, support the good players.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">To date, the county’s taken in roughly $3.7 million in registration fees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Maurer explains, “The first prong of enforcement is to go after those who didn’t register at all. “Those that are just not going to bother to register. The Sheriff’s Department and D.A. can go after those and remove them from the community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11159452\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/CannabisQuestionsInCalaveras_9919_110316P-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"The Calaveras Planning Department approved about 700 permits for growing cannabis, far more than anticipated.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11159452\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/CannabisQuestionsInCalaveras_9919_110316P.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/CannabisQuestionsInCalaveras_9919_110316P-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/CannabisQuestionsInCalaveras_9919_110316P-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/CannabisQuestionsInCalaveras_9919_110316P-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/CannabisQuestionsInCalaveras_9919_110316P-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Calaveras Planning Department approved about 700 permits for growing cannabis, far more than anticipated. \u003ccite>(Andrew Nixon/Capital Public Radio)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Caz Tomaszewski is a local grower and the Executive Director of Calaveras Cannabis Alliance which represents the industry in the county. He says the CCA advocates for “the identification and removal of illicit marijuana grows.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Tomaszewski says his organization has spent considerable time and money educating local leaders and residents about the profile of local marijuana growers represented by CCA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">He sees a stark contrast between long-time growers who want to grow marijuana under the county’s legal framework and those who rushed in after the Butte fire. Tomaszewski likens the latter to prospectors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">“You know, people hear from a couple of buddies at the grow shop that a particular county is a good place to grow. And they go and buy two pieces of land and move out the next week.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Tomaszewski argues that’s a change from how earlier marijuana growers established themselves in Calaveras.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Before the Butte fire, he says would-be growers from outside Calaveras were vetted by locals. He says the profile of growers in Calaveras is different from other northern California counties where marijuana is cultivated. We tend to have “younger, more progressive growers” who take a more “deliberate approach.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">By contrast, Tomaszewski categorizes the flood of growers who came after the Butte Fire as largely ignorant about local regulations as well as local culture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">“And if you move into a rural place you've never been before and you don't know the neighbors and you don't know the local customs, there's a high potential to offend people,” Tomaszewski explains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11159453\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/ButteFireBurnAreaCalaverasCounty_9896_110316P-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"The Butte Fire burned through much of Calaveras County in 2015, and was followed by a "green rush" of cannabis growers buying property in the county's favorable climate for cultivation of the crop.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11159453\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/ButteFireBurnAreaCalaverasCounty_9896_110316P.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/ButteFireBurnAreaCalaverasCounty_9896_110316P-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/ButteFireBurnAreaCalaverasCounty_9896_110316P-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/ButteFireBurnAreaCalaverasCounty_9896_110316P-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/ButteFireBurnAreaCalaverasCounty_9896_110316P-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Butte Fire burned through much of Calaveras County in 2015, and was followed by a \"green rush\" of cannabis growers buying property in the county's favorable climate for cultivation of the crop. \u003ccite>(Andrew Nixon/Capital Public Radio)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">The main complaints the CCA fields from Calaveras residents fall into three main categories: neighbors don't like the smell of the cannabis crop; they complain about fast driving on rural roads and they take issue with dogs on the loose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Tomaszewski says tensions around marijuana have never been as high as they are now. He believes the climate has led to rhetoric that tars all growers with the same brush: whether they're people going through the county's legal permitting process or illicit growers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Calaveras County Sheriff Rick DiBasilio links a recent rise in crime to transient marijuana workers who come to Calaveras during harvest season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">“We have one guy we caught, I believe he was from Kansas,” recalls DiBasilio. “He had burglarized either three or four houses. So what brought him out here was marijuana, he was a trimmer. And now he’s robbing our homes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Just last week the Sheriff led a big raid on an illicit grow near West Point. “We did some flyovers and actually found 4 properties with grows on them,” says DiBasilio.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">The raid led to more than 20 arrests. The Sheriff said they found 750 marijuana plants at these sites plus 500-600 pounds of processed marijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Between pot raids and local patrols, the Sheriff says he doesn't have the bodies he needs to get the job done. He’s looking to hire several additional deputies. But DiBasilio says the county has one of the lowest salary rates in the state which makes it challenging to attract qualified applicants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Calaveras County resources are overwhelmed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">This rural county already faced considerable challenges before the Butte Fire. A high unemployment rate, problems with meth addiction and trees dying from beetle infestation. Add the potential ecological impact of illicit pot grows on the Sierra landscape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Former county supervisor Wilensky is uncertain about how his community will find their way. But he’s not without hope.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">“It’s kind of like Lemony Snicket,” says Wilensky. “A Series of Unfortunate Events have befallen us and it's going to take everything we've got and everybody we have to be able to come out on the other side of this with a decent community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Calaveras voters will have their say about how the county should move forward next week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">They'll decide on two pot-related ballot measures: one to tax and the other to regulate local marijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Marijuana Measures On Local Ballots In California\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>[http_redir]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://marnfed.carto.com/viz/38da874c-96fe-11e6-a6d1-0e3ebc282e83/embed_map\" width=\"100%\" height=\"520\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/tag/cacounts/\">California Counts\u003c/a> is a collaboration of KPBS, KPCC, KQED and Capital Public Radio to report on the 2016 election.

It’s a 360 degree view of what used to be pine, manzanita.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">“See that little road down there?” Wilensky asks, pointing into the canyon. “That's Hawver Road and there were at least forty to fifty houses along that road that all burned,” he adds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Wilensky witnessed firefighters battling the blaze in this area. He says he showed them how to access the canyons. He said they led a heroic effort and kept the fire from engulfing three nearby towns, including Mountain Ranch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Calaveras resident Bill Schmiett's wasn’t one of the lucky ones. His Mountain Ranch home was destroyed. Earlier in his life, Schmiett worked as a firefighter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">“I’ve seen fire up close before. But it’s a whole different ball game when everything you had is a big pile, a smoking pile of ash and twisted metal roof.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Schmiett is a realtor. In December, right on the heels of the Butte fire, his phone starting ringing like crazy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">“Everybody in the world wanted to buy a piece of land in Calaveras County,” explains Schmiett. “I’m not sure how the county got the national exposure it did. There was quite a bit of activity in bare land for growers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Schmiett recalls that most callers were candid about their intentions to grow cannabis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burnt-out homes still had wells, septic systems and ways to connect to power.

Governor Jerry Brown signed the bill into law on October 9, 2015. That law initially set a March 2016 deadline for counties to set their own rules on medical marijuana - otherwise state regulations would apply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Counties scrambled and several decided to ban marijuana grows all together rather than rush through regulations. Meanwhile, the Calaveras County Board of Supervisors moved to regulate marijuana. But several factors delayed passage of the county’s “urgency ordinance” until May 10, 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">As a result there was a nearly six month gap between the Butte Fire and the County’s permitting process going into effect. That gap led to what some have nicknamed “the green rush” of Calaveras.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'Everybody in the world wanted to buy a piece of land in Calaveras County.'\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Peter Maurer is Director of the Calaveras County Planning Department. He says the county anticipated 200-300 applications to grow marijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Instead, says Maurer, “we received 740 commercial applications and an additional 250 personal (or caregiver) operations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Maurer says the intent of the County ordinance was to create a legal registration process. One that would bring in funding to support code enforcement and the Sheriff’s office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">“Let’s regulate it. Let’s fund the resources we need to keep it under control,” explains Maurer. “Eliminate the bad players, support the good players.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">To date, the county’s taken in roughly $3.7 million in registration fees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Maurer explains, “The first prong of enforcement is to go after those who didn’t register at all. “Those that are just not going to bother to register.

He says the CCA advocates for “the identification and removal of illicit marijuana grows.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Tomaszewski says his organization has spent considerable time and money educating local leaders and residents about the profile of local marijuana growers represented by CCA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">He sees a stark contrast between long-time growers who want to grow marijuana under the county’s legal framework and those who rushed in after the Butte fire. Tomaszewski likens the latter to prospectors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">“You know, people hear from a couple of buddies at the grow shop that a particular county is a good place to grow. And they go and buy two pieces of land and move out the next week.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Tomaszewski argues that’s a change from how earlier marijuana growers established themselves in Calaveras.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Before the Butte fire, he says would-be growers from outside Calaveras were vetted by locals. He says the profile of growers in Calaveras is different from other northern California counties where marijuana is cultivated. We tend to have “younger, more progressive growers” who take a more “deliberate approach.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">By contrast, Tomaszewski categorizes the flood of growers who came after the Butte Fire as largely ignorant about local regulations as well as local culture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">“And if you move into a rural place you've never been before and you don't know the neighbors and you don't know the local customs, there's a high potential to offend people,” Tomaszewski explains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11159453\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/ButteFireBurnAreaCalaverasCounty_9896_110316P-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"The Butte Fire burned through much of Calaveras County in 2015, and was followed by a "green rush" of cannabis growers buying property in the county's favorable climate for cultivation of the crop.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11159453\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/ButteFireBurnAreaCalaverasCounty_9896_110316P.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/ButteFireBurnAreaCalaverasCounty_9896_110316P-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/ButteFireBurnAreaCalaverasCounty_9896_110316P-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/ButteFireBurnAreaCalaverasCounty_9896_110316P-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/ButteFireBurnAreaCalaverasCounty_9896_110316P-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Butte Fire burned through much of Calaveras County in 2015, and was followed by a \"green rush\" of cannabis growers buying property in the county's favorable climate for cultivation of the crop. \u003ccite>(Andrew Nixon/Capital Public Radio)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">The main complaints the CCA fields from Calaveras residents fall into three main categories: neighbors don't like the smell of the cannabis crop; they complain about fast driving on rural roads and they take issue with dogs on the loose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Tomaszewski says tensions around marijuana have never been as high as they are now. He believes the climate has led to rhetoric that tars all growers with the same brush: whether they're people going through the county's legal permitting process or illicit growers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Calaveras County Sheriff Rick DiBasilio links a recent rise in crime to transient marijuana workers who come to Calaveras during harvest season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">“We have one guy we caught, I believe he was from Kansas,” recalls DiBasilio. “He had burglarized either three or four houses. So what brought him out here was marijuana, he was a trimmer. And now he’s robbing our homes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Just last week the Sheriff led a big raid on an illicit grow near West Point. “We did some flyovers and actually found 4 properties with grows on them,” says DiBasilio.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">The raid led to more than 20 arrests. The Sheriff said they found 750 marijuana plants at these sites plus 500-600 pounds of processed marijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Between pot raids and local patrols, the Sheriff says he doesn't have the bodies he needs to get the job done. He’s looking to hire several additional deputies. But DiBasilio says the county has one of the lowest salary rates in the state which makes it challenging to attract qualified applicants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Calaveras County resources are overwhelmed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">This rural county already faced considerable challenges before the Butte Fire. A high unemployment rate, problems with meth addiction and trees dying from beetle infestation. Add the potential ecological impact of illicit pot grows on the Sierra landscape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Former county supervisor Wilensky is uncertain about how his community will find their way. But he’s not without hope.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">“It’s kind of like Lemony Snicket,” says Wilensky. “A Series of Unfortunate Events have befallen us and it's going to take everything we've got and everybody we have to be able to come out on the other side of this with a decent community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">Calaveras voters will have their say about how the county should move forward next week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\">They'll decide on two pot-related ballot measures: one to tax and the other to regulate local marijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Marijuana Measures On Local Ballots In California\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>[http_redir]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://marnfed.carto.com/viz/38da874c-96fe-11e6-a6d1-0e3ebc282e83/embed_map\" width=\"100%\" height=\"520\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

She’s part of a broader political shift that’s been taking over the local congressional district. Four years ago, there were 13,000 more Republicans here than Democrats. But now there are 7,000 more Democrats than Republicans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That has put Republican Rep. Steve Knight’s seat in jeopardy. Political analysts have called him “the most vulnerable incumbent in California.” The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is seizing its chance to turn that seat blue, spending heavily to elect Knight’s Democratic challenger, Bryan Caforio, and further ramping up registration efforts. President Barack Obama even recently endorsed Caforio.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11157923\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11157923 size-large\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/Chris-Martinez-1020x765.jpg\" alt=\"Chris Martinez, 20, holding his completed voter registration form.\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chris Martinez, 20, holds his newly completed voter registration form. \u003ccite>(April Dembosky/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>One of the newest Democrats to join this fold is Chris Martinez, 20.

But when Donald Trump started saying nasty things about Mexicans and immigrants, Martinez says he wanted to vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My parents are immigrants,” he says. “So to hear those kinds of words, it’s kind of hurtful, personally. You take it personally.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s gotten involved in local issues, too. He’d like to see a public four-year university come to the area. And more jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s really hard to get jobs out here,” he says, adding the only place his friends can get hired is Wal-Mart. “It’s a struggle.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Help Wanted\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lots of people like Martinez’s parents have moved to the area in the last two decades, because housing is so much more affordable than “down below,” the term locals use to refer to Los Angeles. The population in Palmdale has grown from 68,000 to 160,000 in the last 25 years, and it’s become more diverse. Latinos are now 57 percent of the population, compared to 22 percent in 1990.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the jobs have not followed the population growth.
