On their ballot, these voters rank their top three choices for the office, regardless of party. If one candidate receives more than 50 percent of the vote, they win. If no one receives a majority the first time around, the candidate with the fewest first-place votes is dropped. If you voted for that candidate, your vote now goes to your second choice and the ballots are tallied again. This process continues until someone receives a majority, with the lowest vote-getter being eliminated each round.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Read an in-depth explanation of ranked choice voting \u003ca href=\"http://elections.kqed.org/articles/24303/explainer-a-ranked-choice-voting-refresher\" target=\"_blank\">here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Track Your Vote-by-Mail or Provisional Ballot\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nVoting by mail is easy and convenient, but sometimes it can feel like casting your ballot into a black hole.

On their ballot, these voters rank their top three choices for the office, regardless of party. If one candidate receives more than 50 percent of the vote, they win. If no one receives a majority the first time around, the candidate with the fewest first-place votes is dropped. If you voted for that candidate, your vote now goes to your second choice and the ballots are tallied again. This process continues until someone receives a majority, with the lowest vote-getter being eliminated each round.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Read an in-depth explanation of ranked choice voting \u003ca href=\"http://elections.kqed.org/articles/24303/explainer-a-ranked-choice-voting-refresher\" target=\"_blank\">here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Track Your Vote-by-Mail or Provisional Ballot\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nVoting by mail is easy and convenient, but sometimes it can feel like casting your ballot into a black hole.

"content": "\u003cp>Thomas Fitch supported Bernie Sanders in the primaries but was resigned to vote for Hillary Clinton for president. That changed when the Gilroy resident discovered a vote-trading app called #NeverTrump on Facebook.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Using the app, Fitch connected with a voter from Pennsylvania who was going to cast their ballot for the \u003ca href=\"http://www.jill2016.com/\">Green Party’s Jill Stein\u003c/a>. They made a deal that if Fitch voted for Stein, the swing state voter would cast one for Clinton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a way to reclaim my vote,” Fitch said. He also objects to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.archives.gov/federal-register/electoral-college/about.html\">Electoral College.\u003c/a> “It makes you feel a powerless at least in California. My vote doesn’t really count in the big scheme of things.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vote trading isn’t a new concept. In 2000, election consumer rights activist \u003ca href=\"https://nader.org/\">Ralph Nader\u003c/a> ran as a third-party candidate, and that is thought to be the first time vote trading was tried on a wide scale. But that was before the iPhone. This time around, vote trading has got a new twist; there’s an app for it!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The benefit of getting a voter in a swing state to cast a ballot for Clinton is obvious. The attraction for third-party vote traders is helping their candidate get the numbers to qualify for federal election funding. Their party’s presidential candidate must get at least 5 percent of the popular vote in the previous election. Fitch’s vote for Stein helps the Green Party get to that magic number.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.crunchbase.com/person/amit-kumar#/entity\">Amit Kumar\u003c/a> helped develop the #NeverTrump vote-trading app. He’s the co-founder of a Menlo Park-based startup called \u003ca href=\"https://www.trimian.com/\">Trimian\u003c/a>. Kumar is an immigrant from India and has been living in the U.S. for 15 years. Two years ago, he and his wife became American citizens, and this is the first presidential election they’ll be able to vote in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m not Republican, I’m not a Democrat either,” Kumar said. “This was going to be the election where we find out and where we look at the policies.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But then Trump won the Republican presidential primary and everything changed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This election is clearly is about immigrants,” Kumar said. “Yes, Trump is talking about Muslims, and I’m not a Muslim. He is talking about Mexicans and it’s true I’m not a Mexican. But at some point in time, he’s going to come for me. It’s a matter of course. The Indian-American community is one of the richest in the country and it’s a target.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With this in mind, Kumar said at one point this summer, polls showed Trump with a slight lead over Clinton and so he went to his computer and started coding. #NeverTrump was one of the apps he developed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an effort to refine the app and push it out to a wider audience, Kumar said he enlisted the help of the engineers at his startup. He did this with the blessing of his investors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For ethical and legal reasons, the vote trade is based on the honor system. There is a chat function on the app, so users can get a feel for the person they’re trading with. There’s also an option to link a user’s Facebook profile to the app, so a potential trader can see what folks have been posting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, is vote trading legal? Yes. After the 2000 election, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.wired.com/2007/08/internet-vote-s/\">Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals\u003c/a> ruled that vote-trading exchanges are legal and protected by free speech.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kumar said about 20,000 people have downloaded the app and signed up for the #NeverTrump website.\u003c/p>\n\n",

That changed when the Gilroy resident discovered a vote-trading app called #NeverTrump on Facebook.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Using the app, Fitch connected with a voter from Pennsylvania who was going to cast their ballot for the \u003ca href=\"http://www.jill2016.com/\">Green Party’s Jill Stein\u003c/a>. They made a deal that if Fitch voted for Stein, the swing state voter would cast one for Clinton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a way to reclaim my vote,” Fitch said. He also objects to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.archives.gov/federal-register/electoral-college/about.html\">Electoral College.\u003c/a> “It makes you feel a powerless at least in California. My vote doesn’t really count in the big scheme of things.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vote trading isn’t a new concept. In 2000, election consumer rights activist \u003ca href=\"https://nader.org/\">Ralph Nader\u003c/a> ran as a third-party candidate, and that is thought to be the first time vote trading was tried on a wide scale. But that was before the iPhone. This time around, vote trading has got a new twist; there’s an app for it!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The benefit of getting a voter in a swing state to cast a ballot for Clinton is obvious. The attraction for third-party vote traders is helping their candidate get the numbers to qualify for federal election funding. Their party’s presidential candidate must get at least 5 percent of the popular vote in the previous election. Fitch’s vote for Stein helps the Green Party get to that magic number.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Kumar is an immigrant from India and has been living in the U.S. for 15 years. Two years ago, he and his wife became American citizens, and this is the first presidential election they’ll be able to vote in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m not Republican, I’m not a Democrat either,” Kumar said. “This was going to be the election where we find out and where we look at the policies.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But then Trump won the Republican presidential primary and everything changed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This election is clearly is about immigrants,” Kumar said. “Yes, Trump is talking about Muslims, and I’m not a Muslim. He is talking about Mexicans and it’s true I’m not a Mexican. But at some point in time, he’s going to come for me. It’s a matter of course. The Indian-American community is one of the richest in the country and it’s a target.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With this in mind, Kumar said at one point this summer, polls showed Trump with a slight lead over Clinton and so he went to his computer and started coding. #NeverTrump was one of the apps he developed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an effort to refine the app and push it out to a wider audience, Kumar said he enlisted the help of the engineers at his startup. He did this with the blessing of his investors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For ethical and legal reasons, the vote trade is based on the honor system. There is a chat function on the app, so users can get a feel for the person they’re trading with. There’s also an option to link a user’s Facebook profile to the app, so a potential trader can see what folks have been posting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, is vote trading legal? Yes. After the 2000 election, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.wired.com/2007/08/internet-vote-s/\">Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals\u003c/a> ruled that vote-trading exchanges are legal and protected by free speech.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kumar said about 20,000 people have downloaded the app and signed up for the #NeverTrump website.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

That’s not helping the students at all.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Bay Area alone, there are 17 school parcel taxes, as well as 25 school bond measures, on local ballots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland Unified School District is going for its third parcel tax. The district already has one permanent parcel tax in place. \u003ca href=\"https://ballotpedia.org/Oakland_Unified_School_District_parcel_tax,_Measure_G_(February_2008)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Measure G passed in 2008\u003c/a>, and pays for teacher recruitment and retention, school libraries, art, music and classes needed to apply for college. Oakland also has a 10-year parcel tax, \u003ca href=\"https://ballotpedia.org/Oakland_Unified_School_District_Parcel_Tax,_Measure_N_(November_2014)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Measure N\u003c/a>, to pay for job training and preparing high school students for college. It expires in 2024.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new Oakland measure, G1, would pay for middle school enrichment and could be used to increase teacher salaries, which are among the lowest in the Bay Area. The measure has been opposed by some parent and teacher groups because it would give a portion of the funds to charter schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Voters in Berkeley are being asked to replace an expiring school parcel tax with a new larger one. It would yield an estimated $28 million annually, making it the largest on any Bay Area ballot this year. Berkeley’s parcel tax currently provides about 20 percent of the district’s budget, paying for many classroom teachers, school libraries, music programs and other services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Berkeley was one of five districts in the state with the largest proportion of revenue coming from parcel taxes in 2011-12, according to \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/wp-content/publications/pub13-ParcelTaxesFinal.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">information compiled \u003c/a>by EdSource. The others were: Piedmont City Unified, Kentfield Elementary, Mill Valley Elementary and Emery Unified.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Wealthy school districts are much more likely to have passed one of these taxes, and to have put one of these things on the ballot in the first place,” McGhee said. He says the Bay Area has more parcel taxes than other part of the state because of the high cost of living, which requires higher teacher salaries, and because voters in the generally liberal Bay Area are often more willing to raise taxes on themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>School districts are proposing more bond measures this year, too. The biggest one is San Francisco, which would issue $744 million in bonds to renovate existing schools, build two new ones and put some money toward affordable housing for teachers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most bond measures need only 55 percent of the vote to pass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McGhee says it’s possible that they are easier to pass than parcel taxes, because it may not be clear to voters how much they will end up paying in added property tax to repay the bonds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One reason there are so many local bond measures on the ballot this year is because of \u003ca href=\"http://elections.kqed.org/article/2010101856774/prop-51-seeks-9-billion-in-bonds-for-public-school-construction-projects\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Proposition 51\u003c/a>, which would provide construction funds to school districts that can come up with matching funds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So you can make the case, ‘Hey, we’re just getting a piece of this state pie. If we pass our construction bond, we’ll get extra money from the state, and it’ll be even better,’ ” McGhee said.\u003c/p>\n\n",

It expires in 2024.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new Oakland measure, G1, would pay for middle school enrichment and could be used to increase teacher salaries, which are among the lowest in the Bay Area. The measure has been opposed by some parent and teacher groups because it would give a portion of the funds to charter schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Voters in Berkeley are being asked to replace an expiring school parcel tax with a new larger one. It would yield an estimated $28 million annually, making it the largest on any Bay Area ballot this year. Berkeley’s parcel tax currently provides about 20 percent of the district’s budget, paying for many classroom teachers, school libraries, music programs and other services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Berkeley was one of five districts in the state with the largest proportion of revenue coming from parcel taxes in 2011-12, according to \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/wp-content/publications/pub13-ParcelTaxesFinal.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">information compiled \u003c/a>by EdSource. The others were: Piedmont City Unified, Kentfield Elementary, Mill Valley Elementary and Emery Unified.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Wealthy school districts are much more likely to have passed one of these taxes, and to have put one of these things on the ballot in the first place,” McGhee said. He says the Bay Area has more parcel taxes than other part of the state because of the high cost of living, which requires higher teacher salaries, and because voters in the generally liberal Bay Area are often more willing to raise taxes on themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>School districts are proposing more bond measures this year, too. The biggest one is San Francisco, which would issue $744 million in bonds to renovate existing schools, build two new ones and put some money toward affordable housing for teachers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most bond measures need only 55 percent of the vote to pass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McGhee says it’s possible that they are easier to pass than parcel taxes, because it may not be clear to voters how much they will end up paying in added property tax to repay the bonds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One reason there are so many local bond measures on the ballot this year is because of \u003ca href=\"http://elections.kqed.org/article/2010101856774/prop-51-seeks-9-billion-in-bonds-for-public-school-construction-projects\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Proposition 51\u003c/a>, which would provide construction funds to school districts that can come up with matching funds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So you can make the case, ‘Hey, we’re just getting a piece of this state pie. If we pass our construction bond, we’ll get extra money from the state, and it’ll be even better,’ ” McGhee said.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

In 1971, when the 26th Amendment lowered the voting age to 18, Cheng says it caused only a brief spike in turnout. Today, young people have the worst participation rates of any age group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cheng says we should be wary about lowering the voting age because it can have unintended consequences, like providing more justification to prosecute youths like adults.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Lowering the voting age arguably gives young people more representation,” Cheng says. “It also may jeopardize some of the protections they have just because they are young.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the past, both liberals and conservatives have supported youth voting. Cheng says in the 1950s, conservatives wanted to lower the voting age to 18 because young people were conservative. Then, she says, in the ’60s it became a liberal cause because, well, hippies. Today, young people still trend liberal, and critics say the real motive of Proposition F is to skew the electorate.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘My son would want to vote. He would also like ice cream for breakfast.’ \u003ccite>Political science professor Jack Pitney\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Claremont McKenna political science professor Jack Pitney believes so. He is a vocal opponent of youth voting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My son would want to vote,” Pitney says. “He would also like ice cream for breakfast.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students in Lyndsey Schlax’s class want to do more with their votes than order ice cream. Many hope Proposition F passes. But it’s not up to them. They aren’t old enough to cast a ballot.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Rick Marshall, with the California Taxpayers Action Network, helped write the arguments against the measure in the \u003ca href=\"http://voterguide.sos.ca.gov/\">state’s voter information guide\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"All this does is add to the state debt,\" Marshall said. \"And it brings a one-size-fits-all program to school districts, when you have local bond money the locals decide what to do with it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If it passes, according to Marshall, developers will benefit. Proposition 51 would prevent changes to the fee structure they pay when they build new housing developments that need schools, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proposition 51 opponents also argue that larger, more organized school districts will be first in line to dip into the pot since, unlike some smaller districts, they have the staff to speedily apply for the funds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Opponents like Marshall also want to see school districts use local sources of funding rather than new state bond money to build and improve schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We think that by providing new construction money, you’re going to encourage schools to build buildings that they don’t need,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Across the state, more than 100 school districts, including Lennox, have placed local bond measures on the November ballot. Many hope to raise matching funds to take advantage of Proposition 51, if it passes, since some local share is usually required.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although many districts have real needs, Proposition 51 would come at a price.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Felton Elementary, school officials are hoping a day will come when all students can learn in quiet classrooms free of the noise from the airplanes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Jade and other third-graders will be well into their 40s by the time the state pays off the bonds in about 2053.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Levie is a co-founder and CEO of Box. The Redwood City-based company provides online storage and collaboration tools to companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not a given that America will be at the forefront of technology,” said Levie, who also signed the open letter against Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As we race forward into a digital and information economy, Levie said, Silicon Valley’s success depends on training workers in the U.S. and attracting high-skilled workers from around the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Which means that we have to have massive reform that we need in our education systems,” he said. “We need massive reform in our immigration process.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Levie said policy reform is needed in Washington around big issues confronting the technology sector, like encryption and privacy. He said Hillary Clinton’s policies best address those needs. And how do Clinton’s policies stack up against Trump's?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I didn’t get the tech policies from the Trump side, so the outreach of the Trump campaign to the technology industry has been extremely limited to negligible,” Levie said. “So I don’t know how to compare and contrast to his policies. I only know how to compare and contrast to his rhetoric.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And he said Trump’s rhetoric hasn’t been reassuring to the tech industry. He cites Trump's idea to ask Bill Gates to help shut down parts of the internet in response to terrorism. And Trump has also called for a\u003ca href=\"http://www.cnn.com/2016/02/19/politics/donald-trump-apple-boycott/\" target=\"_blank\"> boycott of Apple \u003c/a>for refusing to unlock the iPhone of one of the San Bernardino shooters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump “has shown such naive understanding of technology, it’s hard to even begin,” Levie said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s not to say he discounts Trump supporters. He said this election has exposed the serious challenges American workers face, in part because of technological disruption. Levie's hope? That once the sound and fury of Trump dies down, tech leaders will start working with government to address these concerns, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story is part of our ongoing series on Techquity: Diversity, Inclusion and Equity in Silicon Valley. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

The Redwood City-based company provides online storage and collaboration tools to companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not a given that America will be at the forefront of technology,” said Levie, who also signed the open letter against Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As we race forward into a digital and information economy, Levie said, Silicon Valley’s success depends on training workers in the U.S. and attracting high-skilled workers from around the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Which means that we have to have massive reform that we need in our education systems,” he said. “We need massive reform in our immigration process.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Levie said policy reform is needed in Washington around big issues confronting the technology sector, like encryption and privacy. He said Hillary Clinton’s policies best address those needs. And how do Clinton’s policies stack up against Trump's?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I didn’t get the tech policies from the Trump side, so the outreach of the Trump campaign to the technology industry has been extremely limited to negligible,” Levie said. “So I don’t know how to compare and contrast to his policies. I only know how to compare and contrast to his rhetoric.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And he said Trump’s rhetoric hasn’t been reassuring to the tech industry. He cites Trump's idea to ask Bill Gates to help shut down parts of the internet in response to terrorism. And Trump has also called for a\u003ca href=\"http://www.cnn.com/2016/02/19/politics/donald-trump-apple-boycott/\" target=\"_blank\"> boycott of Apple \u003c/a>for refusing to unlock the iPhone of one of the San Bernardino shooters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump “has shown such naive understanding of technology, it’s hard to even begin,” Levie said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s not to say he discounts Trump supporters. He said this election has exposed the serious challenges American workers face, in part because of technological disruption. Levie's hope? That once the sound and fury of Trump dies down, tech leaders will start working with government to address these concerns, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
