But seeing Kamala Harris get sworn in was something this family wasn’t going to miss.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Kamala Harris is Black and Indian. She was awesome because it felt great to have another Black and Asian person. I’m mixed and I’m proud of it,” said 6-year-old Sumaya Kaur Sidibe, who lives in San Francisco with her parents Joti Singh and Bongo Sidibe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Singh is the daughter of Punjabi immigrants, who grew up in a suburb of Atlanta.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Where I grew up is now famous for being a place where Democrats are able to win. When I was growing up, it wasn’t like that all,” said Singh. “It was a very white suburb. It was Newt Gingrich’s district. There were a lot of Confederate flags, maybe still are. It wasn’t an easy place to be South Asian growing up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her husband, Bongo Sidibe, immigrated to California from Conakry, Guinea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Growing up for me it was very different, because where I’m from, everybody knows each other,” he said. “Before you’re even in your mommy’s tummy, they already know about you. We have some political and race issues, but you don’t see it living in an African community. Everybody supports each other, is there for each other.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11856685\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11856685\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/01/Watching-the-Inauguration-800x567.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"567\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/01/Watching-the-Inauguration-800x567.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/01/Watching-the-Inauguration-1020x723.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/01/Watching-the-Inauguration-160x113.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/01/Watching-the-Inauguration-1536x1089.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/01/Watching-the-Inauguration.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Sidibe-Singh Family watch the inauguration of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris on Wednesday: Bongo Sidibe, Jaleela Aissata Singh, Joti Singh and Sumaya Kaur Sidibe (left-right). \u003ccite>(Courtesy Bongo Sidibe and Joti Singh)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The Singh-Sidibes are teaching their girls to honor their mixed heritage more than a half-century after Harris’ parents – from India and Jamaica – raised their two little girls.

She’s Black and Indian,’ ” he said. “That gives the little ones more hope that they can do something like that. I mean, when you look at the history of the United States.

The information is gathered manually by a team who compiled a list of medical centers, pharmacies and hospitals around the state, and now regularly contacts those locations to confirm their vaccine inventory — as well as what groups they're now accepting, and how to make an appointment yourself. There are also now versions of the site \u003ca href=\"https://www.vaccinateca.com/es/\">in Spanish\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.vaccinateca.com/zh-hans/\">Simplified Chinese. \u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"#ask\">Tell us: What do you want to know about getting the COVID-19 vaccine in the Bay Area?\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>But the thing about VaccinateCA? It's completely staffed by volunteers who make those calls, maintain the website and coordinate efforts across the state. And this crowdsourcing is filling a need in California that as yet, health officials don't seem to have addressed themselves: the need for residents to simply schedule a COVID-19 vaccine appointment near them.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Confusion and Low Availability\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>California has begun by prioritizing health care workers and long-term care residents (Phase 1A) for vaccination, and is now moving into its \u003ca href=\"https://covid19.ca.gov/vaccines/\">next phases\u003c/a>. But even if you're eligible for the state's current vaccination phase, you'll need to find a vaccination site near you that has inventory enough to be able to serve you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11855623\" hero=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/01/GettyImages-1230603226-1020x605.jpg\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With Gov. Gavin Newsom's Jan. 13 \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/coronavirusliveupdates/science/1972234/people-65-and-over-now-eligible-for-covid-19-vaccine\">announcement\u003c/a> that people 65 and older were now eligible to receive the vaccine – and were being prioritized despite their (still) official place in line in Phase 1B — a huge number of Californians and their families breathed a sigh of relief. Yet many of those seniors are finding that despite now being vaccine-eligible on paper, the limited supply of doses in many counties means that officials are still vaccinating those health care workers from Phase 1A.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if your county does have availability, just making the appointment for an eligible person to get their vaccine can be far more difficult than you might think. As \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/arghavan_salles/status/1351033952455286785\">this Twitter thread\u003c/a> from surgeon and advocate Dr. Arghavan Salles details, even trying to find the information itself can be a frustrating, circular process, littered with informational dead ends online.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And when finding this crucial information is so complex, it heightens the difficulty for those with less time and resources, those without consistent access to the internet, and for residents who speak languages other than English or who don't have experience navigating the U.S. medical system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state \u003cem>has\u003c/em> launched \u003ca href=\"https://myturn.ca.gov/\">MyTurn\u003c/a>, a tool which allows Californians to input their details to see instantly if they're currently eligible for the vaccine — and to sign up for notifications about eligibility and future appointment scheduling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The My Turn site now says that if you're near San Francisco, Los Angeles or San Diego, \"you may be able to schedule your appointment today\" using the tool, and that they're \"adding appointments to My Turn daily, and expanding statewide.\" Check if you're currently able to make an appointment through My Turn \u003ca href=\"https://myturn.ca.gov/\">here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>How VaccinateCA Works\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Newsom's Jan. 13 announcement that Californians age 65 and older were now eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine prompted tech worker Patrick McKenzie to issue a simple call on Twitter:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/patio11/status/1349577791537250310\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Manish Goregaokar, an engineer with Google based in Berkeley, saw McKenzie's tweet and began to mull on what he might be able to offer. When a personal friend reached out and added him to the Discord server that the first volunteers were using to communicate, Goregaokar officially got on board and began by helping the team find and collate phone numbers for every one of the medical centers and pharmacies on their list: \"500 or so phone numbers,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The VaccinateCA team now numbers more than 250 volunteers around California. They include many engineers by day, such as himself, said Goregaokar, who have been instrumental in building and maintaining the system on which the dashboard runs, as well as folks providing coordinating services like media liaison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the project also turns on the work of old-fashioned phone bankers making those regular calls to vaccination locations. The information that volunteers get from their calls feeds the public-facing dashboard and also the \u003ca href=\"https://www.vaccinateca.com/\">VaccinateCA map\u003c/a>. Users can see details such as if a provider is only accepting current patients or whether prior registration through the county is required for vaccination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Coronavirus Coverage' tag='coronavirus']During the COVID-19 pandemic, we've seen how misinformation — intentional or inadvertent — can rush to fill a void created by an absence of reliable information from official sources. Goregaokar said he and the VaccinateCA team are accordingly aware of the importance of keeping the dashboard's information up to date and accurate, and urged users to \u003ca href=\"https://airtable.com/shrY44NvEjHBscrOH\">submit any additions or corrections\u003c/a> through the site, such as adding a missing vaccination location, correcting contact information or reporting unavailable vaccines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To prevent their information from resulting in vaccine seekers jamming up a clinic's phone lines, Goregaokar said the VaccinateCA dashboard only lists phone numbers when that's the location's stated preference for scheduling vaccination appointments. Generally, when it comes to errors, Goregaokar said, \"It's more often just that we're listing a place as a 'yes,' but the 'yes' \u003cem>conditions\u003c/em> are more nuanced than we thought.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>VaccinateCA's quest has also had the unintended consequence of alerting several pharmacies to the fact that they're not in their county's system as eligible vaccine providers — even though they should be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Goregaokar said after one Rite Aid pharmacy in San Bernardino County was called by a VaccinateCA volunteer, pharmacy staff realized they weren't actually listed as a provider by the county — and were accordingly not receiving appointment requests for the vaccines they had. Pharmacy staff then worked with the county to correct the situation, prompting VaccinateCA's volunteers to then make more calls to other Rite Aid pharmacies in that region to advise them to do the same.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/ManishEarth/status/1351798715862827119\">Goregaokar wrote on Twitter\u003c/a>, \"This switch between 'we're directly helping people, indirectly helping the system' to 'we're also directly helping the system' was fascinating to watch unfold, and really rewarding.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/ManishEarth/status/1351798715862827119?s=20\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What's Next for California Vaccinations?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Other states have official vaccine availability dashboards allowing residents to see providers near them offering appointments — like \u003ca href=\"https://tdem.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=3700a84845c5470cb0dc3ddace5c376b\">this map from Texas's Division of Emergency Management\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet weeks into the vaccine rollout, VaccinateCA's unofficial system remains the closest thing California has to a centralized dashboard. The California Department of Public Health said they \"have no comment on the VaccinateCA website.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation=\"Manish Goregaokar, VaccineCA co-organizer\"]'If this information is not out there, it should be.

CDPH said a second phase of that system \"will help counties, cities and others run mass-vaccination events,\" and that this will \"include a way for eligible members of the public to schedule their vaccination appointments at those events.\" Community vaccination events are, CDPH said, \"only one way for eligible Californians to receive their vaccines.

The information is gathered manually by a team who compiled a list of medical centers, pharmacies and hospitals around the state, and now regularly contacts those locations to confirm their vaccine inventory — as well as what groups they're now accepting, and how to make an appointment yourself. There are also now versions of the site \u003ca href=\"https://www.vaccinateca.com/es/\">in Spanish\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.vaccinateca.com/zh-hans/\">Simplified Chinese. \u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"#ask\">Tell us: What do you want to know about getting the COVID-19 vaccine in the Bay Area?\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>But the thing about VaccinateCA? It's completely staffed by volunteers who make those calls, maintain the website and coordinate efforts across the state. And this crowdsourcing is filling a need in California that as yet, health officials don't seem to have addressed themselves: the need for residents to simply schedule a COVID-19 vaccine appointment near them.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Confusion and Low Availability\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>California has begun by prioritizing health care workers and long-term care residents (Phase 1A) for vaccination, and is now moving into its \u003ca href=\"https://covid19.ca.gov/vaccines/\">next phases\u003c/a>. But even if you're eligible for the state's current vaccination phase, you'll need to find a vaccination site near you that has inventory enough to be able to serve you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Over the last four years, California has embraced the mantle of legal opposition to the Trump administration, with Attorney General Xavier Becerra filing more than 100 lawsuits alone and in conjunction with other states on issues ranging from the travel ban, immigration, LGBT rights, the environment and women's health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>President Trump returned the favor, targeting California's policies on immigration, sanctuary cities, forest management and wildfires, mail-in voting and much, much more. The conflict played to each party's base, but the net result was a fraught relationship that surely did not benefit the people of California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You might say the relationship was poisoned right from the start.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You look at what they're doing in California, how they're treating people,\" Trump said early in his administration. \"They don't treat their people as well as they treat illegal immigrants. So at what point does it stop? It's crazy what they're doing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti\"]'It feels like waking up from a nightmare. And not just the nightmare being over, but being in a beautiful dream.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Demonizing immigrants. Dismissing climate change as a hoax. It was all part of the playbook, like calling our presidential election rigged. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Like California, the same person votes many times you probably heard about that,\" Trump said last year. \"They always like to say, 'Oh, that's a conspiracy theory.' Not a conspiracy theory, folks. Millions and millions of people.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's not true, of course. But baseless conspiracy theories like that one animated the violent mob of Trump supporters that stormed the U.S. Capitol to \"stop the steal.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So now that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris prepare to take office, what will change, both substantively and politically?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It feels like waking up from a nightmare,\" said said Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti. \"And not just the nightmare being over, but being in a beautiful dream.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcetti – one of five co-chairs for President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration committee – remembers how the Obama/Biden administration worked with cities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"All the time they were reaching out. What’s working in L.A.? What's working in California? How can we amplify that? How can we scale that up? Is there anything we can do for you?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garcetti is looking forward to an administration that isn’t constantly at war with the state, \"Where, you know, our fires are politicized, our homelessness is politicized, where we're told that we're, you know, this evil outlier state ... What we have now are people who know us.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>High Hopes for High-Speed Rail\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Jerry Brown was governor for six of Obama’s eight years as president, before Trump took over in 2017. He said while there was a big difference under Obama, \"It's not an open sesame to whatever you want because government is a structure. However, having a line of communication can help – it’s just an obvious thing. It’s better to have friends than enemies.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In particular, Brown said it will make a huge difference having Biden embrace what California is doing on the environment, rather than trying to stop or undo policies in the courts. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s hoping the administration’s pivot on infrastructure, COVID-19 relief funding to state and local governments and climate change will finally get federal support for one of his priorities: high-speed rail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And I'm hoping that Joe will put the billions into California needed to get the high-speed rail as the first instance from the Central Valley, from Fresno, Merced, right into San Jose and Silicon Valley and right up the line there to San Francisco. That's a real possibility,\" Brown said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Tuesday, Gov.

Throughout the year, the DOJ and the Department of Homeland Security discussed possible policy changes, including criminally prosecuting “family unit adults” and separating them from their children, the report said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, the Western District of Texas U.S. Attorney’s Office had begun prosecuting adults in certain instances, even if it resulted in separation from their children. It was referred to as the El Paso Initiative. Prosecutors and judges noted concerns about the whereabouts of the children of approximately 280 broken families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following the perceived success of the El Paso Initiative, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2018/05/07/609225537/sessions-says-zero-tolerance-for-illegal-border-crossers-vows-to-divide-families\">Sessions’ policy\u003c/a> went into effect on April 6, 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have put in place a ‘zero tolerance’ policy for illegal entry on our Southwest border,” \u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/opa/speech/attorney-general-sessions-delivers-remarks-discussing-immigration-enforcement-actions\">Sessions said\u003c/a> one month later in San Diego. “If you cross this border unlawfully, then we will prosecute you. It’s that simple. If you are smuggling a child, then we will prosecute you and that child will be separated from you as required by law.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Related Coverage' tag='family-separation']Days after his speech in San Diego, U.S. attorneys along the border raised concerns about family separations as well as the whereabouts of children, the review notes. Sessions promised additional resources, but instructed them to stay the course.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The review says Sessions had grossly underestimated the legal and logistical challenges accompanying his policy. His department also failed to effectively coordinate with other agencies, including the U.S. Marshals Service, who were given no advanced notice, the review said. The USMS told the DOJ there would be resource shortages, which would impact the safety of the public, courthouses, detention facilities and staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal judges and other stakeholders along the border grew concerned as the courts became burdened with cases.

And as history shows, unity is not an option, it's a necessity,\" McCarthy said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In some ways, maintaining unity within his own ranks has been a hallmark of McCarthy’s leadership. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Mike Madrid, political strategist, The Lincoln Project\"]'Does he stand up and restore what exists of American democracy?

McCarthy was able to parlay the relationships and connections Thomas had to win a state Assembly seat in 2002.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former Republican campaign strategist Dan Schnur recalls that McCarthy soon established distance from his political mentor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When he got to Sacramento as an elected official in his own right, it was clear that he leaned more conservative than Congressman Thomas had on a number of issues,\" said Schnur.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCarthy quickly rose to become the Assembly minority leader while Arnold Schwarzenegger was governor. Duf Sundheim, who was chair of the California Republican Party at the time, said McCarthy always found common ground with the more moderate governor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So I never heard a cross word between Kevin and Schwarzenegger because they would kind of work it out. And what they agreed on they kept their commitments,\" Sundheim said. \"And I think that's why Kevin has outlasted, you know, (John) Boehner and (Paul) Ryan is that he drives the consensus of his members and they know that they can count on him for the things that he promises.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Trump got elected president, McCarthy was the top Republican in the House. Using his formidable political skills and ability to keep his finger on the pulse of his party, McCarthy quickly won over the president, said political strategist Mike Madrid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And I think more than anything that really, I think, explains his dramatic shift from being a very moderate, reasoned force within the Republican caucus in Washington to kind of one of Trump's main allies,\" Madrid said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11855325\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/01/McCarthy-and-Donald-Trump.jpg\" alt=\"Kevin McCarthy stands behind Trump in the Oval Office\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1293\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11855325\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/01/McCarthy-and-Donald-Trump.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/01/McCarthy-and-Donald-Trump-800x539.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/01/McCarthy-and-Donald-Trump-1020x687.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/01/McCarthy-and-Donald-Trump-160x108.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/01/McCarthy-and-Donald-Trump-1536x1034.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kevin McCarthy joins President Trump for a signing ceremony in the Oval Office on April 24, 2020. \u003ccite>(Anna Moneymaker/The New York Times/POOL/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Before last week’s violence inspired by President Trump, that relationship served McCarthy well. Now, as the president’s approval rating sinks and some Republicans jump ship, McCarthy is facing a potential challenge to his leadership. Madrid, who recently left the Republican party and helped form the anti-Trump Lincoln Project, said McCarthy is faced with a crucial decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Does he stand up and restore what exists of American democracy? Or will he continue down the path of playing the political game and undermine the Constitution and demonstrate fealty to a failed leader who's proven himself a traitor?\" Madrid asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Related Coverage' tag='insurrection']On Monday, McCarthy had what he called “an emotional conversation” with Trump, \u003ca href=\"https://www.bakersfield.com/news/californian-exclusive-mccarthy-recounts-intense-emotional-call-with-trump-over-election-results/article_924a5538-5549-11eb-8ec5-07c3f662479f.html\">telling the Bakersfield Californian\u003c/a> he urged Trump to take responsibility for what happened at the Capitol at the hands of his supporters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But is McCarthy trying to have it both ways – firmly criticizing Trump after leveraging his relationship with him the last four years?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The back and forth between Donald Trump and McCarthy over the last week has been a perfect example of what people see as a lack of a North Star,\" said Marc Sandalow of the University of California Washington Center. He said when it comes to leadership skills, McCarthy is not in the same league as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, adding many see him as more of a caretaker than a future speaker.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So while she got to be speaker, because she was masterful building majority, he's remained where he is essentially because he hasn't been able to take Republicans to the majority and he simply doesn't have the devout following that Pelosi has on the Democratic side,\" Sandalow said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That said, House Republicans under McCarthy far exceeded expectations in November. They picked up 10 seats, including four in California where Joe Biden trounced Trump. Now, said Dan Schnur, comes the hard part.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"McCarthy's greatest challenge on the path to what he hopes will be the speakership two years from now is being able to convince those Republicans who are still loyal to Trump that he's one of them, while being able to reach out to a broader ideological swath of Republican candidates and officeholders who might have become much more uncomfortable with the president's actions over the last several days,\" Schnur said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that will test McCarthy’s considerable political skills more than ever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Jim Nielsen, R-Tehama, the top Republican on the Elections Committee. \"I believe there are too many vulnerabilities with that approach.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if vote by mail becomes the default in California, it doesn't appear that the state is going in the direction of Utah and Colorado, which have largely done away with in-person voting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We certainly don't want to see an end to in-person voting,\" said Carol Moon Goldberg, president of the League of Women Voters of California. \"People do need to talk to other people — maybe they have a question about their registration, maybe they have a question about the ballot, maybe they need special equipment because of some sort of disability that makes it difficult to handle a ballot at home.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2020, California counties were allowed to reduce the number of voting locations that they offered if they opened for at least three days of early voting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Legislators will need to decide on a new minimum amount of in-person voting that balances costs and voter needs.
