In California’s March primary, more than 100,000 ballots were rejected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The problem of ballot rejection is evidence of the fact that we don’t have widespread fraud,” Alexander said. “Ballots that aren’t postmarked by Election Day don’t get counted. People who forget to sign their envelopes, those ballots don’t get counted. Ballot rejection is evidence of the fact that we have election security.”[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Kim Alexander, president of the California Voter Foundation\"]‘Ballots that aren’t postmarked by Election Day don’t get counted. People who forget to sign their envelopes, those ballots don’t get counted. Ballot rejection is evidence of the fact that we have election security.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Voter Foundation study found an average of 1.7% of vote-by-mail ballots were rejected each election over the last decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The study focused on rejected ballots in three northern California counties during the 2018 midterm election. That year, Sacramento and San Mateo counties mailed a ballot to all registered voters, while Santa Clara county sent ballots to voters who signed up to vote-by-mail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Sacramento and San Mateo counties shifted to mailing every voter a ballot, they saw a corresponding spike in the number of ballots rejected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Young voters were especially likely to have their ballots left uncounted: Rejection rates for 18- to 24-year-olds in the counties were three times higher than the overall rejection rates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Mateo, 3.5% of ballots cast by 18- to 24-year-olds were rejected, compared to 1.0% for all of the county’s voters. In Santa Clara County, young voters accounted for just 7.4% of vote-by-mail voters, but 25.5% of rejected ballots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Young voters have several factors working against them: They are new to voting, they are less familiar with using the U.S. mail and they’re not accustomed to using a signature,” Alexander said. “And all of those are really important factors when you want to cast a vote-by-mail ballot.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newly registered voters also had their ballots rejected at higher rates in all three counties.\u003cbr>\n[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The top reasons for rejection were lateness and ballot signatures that were either missing, or didn’t match the signature on file.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lateness was the cause of 85% of ballot rejections for young voters in San Mateo County, and 79% of ballot rejections for young voters in Santa Clara County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those findings track with data from the secretary of state’s office, which tallied rejected ballots in all 58 counties during the March primary. Two-thirds of rejections among all voters were due to late ballots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are a variety of explanations for why ballots were rejected for lateness. They could have been mailed after Election Day or placed in mailboxes late on Election Day and not postmarked until the next day. Even ballots mailed and postmarked on time would not have been counted if they arrived more than three days after the election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, the window for counties to receive ballots has been extended to 17 days to account for any delays in the U.S. Postal Service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report’s authors urged voters to use county drop-off sites in the last few days of the election, as nearly all the tardy ballots examined in the study were delivered by U.S mail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Voters who want to vote closer to Election Day should return their ballots in person to a drop box, voting site or their county election office,” said Cathy Darling Allen, the registrar of voters in Shasta County, and a California Voter Foundation board member, in a statement.[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Cathy Darling Allen, Registrar of Voters, Shasta County\"]‘Voters who want to vote closer to Election Day should return their ballots in person to a drop box, voting site, or their county election office.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Sacramento, the leading cause of rejection was issues with voter signatures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The signature that voters scrawl on the envelope of a completed mail ballot must match the signature in the voter file — typically the same signature found on the back of a voter’s drivers license.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearly half of the ballot rejections among young voters in Sacramento were the result of a mismatched signature, while 9.1% of ballots were returned with no signature at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike ballots rejected for lateness, mail ballots with signature issues can be corrected and counted. More than half of the ballots with initial signature issues in the three-county study were corrected after counties reached out to affected voters, avoiding rejection. [aside tag=\"voting, ballot\" label=\"More Related Stories\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santa Clara County election officials saw a jump in their signature correction, or “cure” rate, after they began sending voters a second notice if their ballot signature had an issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We found that when we sent out the form, it does get ignored,” said Pam Hamilton, election process supervisor for Santa Clara County. “So we started resending ones to the voters that did not reply. We found that after the second mailing, we started to get their attention.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The signature correction process should be easier in 2020, with state law now requiring that all counties contact voters with missing and mismatched signatures and allow the voter a chance to submit a new signature in time for the vote to be counted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

That year, Sacramento and San Mateo counties mailed a ballot to all registered voters, while Santa Clara county sent ballots to voters who signed up to vote-by-mail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Sacramento and San Mateo counties shifted to mailing every voter a ballot, they saw a corresponding spike in the number of ballots rejected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Young voters were especially likely to have their ballots left uncounted: Rejection rates for 18- to 24-year-olds in the counties were three times higher than the overall rejection rates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Mateo, 3.5% of ballots cast by 18- to 24-year-olds were rejected, compared to 1.0% for all of the county’s voters.

In 2018, the House district in which the campus resides was caught up in the Blue Wave — sending freshman Democrat Gil Cisneros to Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We got our butts kicked, to be honest,” Schulz said, the club’s spokesman and former president. “To work on that, we were doing a lot more campaigning.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the club’s plans for hosting campus events, canvassing the district and registering voters came to a screeching halt in mid-March, when Cal Poly Pomona — like schools around the state — shifted to virtual learning in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. The school’s College Republicans didn’t meet for the rest of the semester.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, the pandemic is threatening to scatter students away from campuses in the fall, when California will mail a ballot to every registered voter as a COVID-19-safe alternative to voting in person. The closures could discourage the efforts of campus groups, and make the prospects of turning out the college vote, already a difficult proposition in normal times, even more complicated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s going to be pretty bad, to be honest,” Schulz said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A decline in turnout could have a significant impact in the Pomona Valley and nearby northern Orange County, an area home to a large college population, where a decline in the student vote could affect competitive races up and down the ticket.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"David Becker, Center for Election Innovation and Research\"]‘As we (question) whether college campuses are going to open up in the fall, the ability to do outreach to large numbers of people is going to be severely limited.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates for democratic engagement on college campuses are urging higher education leaders and faculty to take creative approaches to encourage voting, while students are adapting their get-out-the-vote methods for the Zoom age.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As difficult as it is for someone like me to vote during a pandemic, the college student population is a particularly difficult one,” said Adam Gismondi, director of impact at the Institute for Democracy & Higher Education at the Tisch College of Civic Life at Tufts University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Because most students are mobile, they often move addresses while they’re in college.

But the top reason for the registration drop-off was closures at the state’s DMV offices, where drivers license and state ID transactions automatically trigger a voter registration, said David Becker, the center’s executive director.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An early study of the DMV automatic voter registration program \u003ca href=\"https://www.ppic.org/wp-content/uploads/implementing-automated-voter-registration-in-california.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">didn’t find wide adoption\u003c/a> by younger voters. But the pandemic could also pose challenges for a physically distanced form of sign up: online voter registration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s fundamentally a fairly passive tool, people need to know to look for it,” Becker said. “And as we have questions about whether college campuses are going to open up in the fall, the ability to do outreach to large numbers of people is going to be severely limited.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if registration efforts improve, the curtailed openings of campuses in the state present a hurdle for ensuring a smooth voting experience for many undergraduates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11829865\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1642px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11829865\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/DMV-voter-registration.jpg\" alt=\"A man walks in front of a DMV office in San Francisco on May 8, 2020.\" width=\"1642\" height=\"1045\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/DMV-voter-registration.jpg 1642w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/DMV-voter-registration-800x509.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/DMV-voter-registration-1020x649.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/DMV-voter-registration-160x102.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/DMV-voter-registration-1536x978.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1642px) 100vw, 1642px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A man walks in front of a DMV office in San Francisco on May 8, 2020. \u003ccite>(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>College students are a mobile population in general, with many moving between dorms, off-campus housing and their childhood homes. Students who are registered to vote may need to update their information in order to receive a ballot at the correct address.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If more students can vote at home, it reduces the chance of long lines at in-person ballot sites, which could be fewer in number than in previous years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The need to communicate with voters is going to be particularly crucial in this year,” Becker said. “Having good information on the voter lists is the core of that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Bigger Impact on Southern California Races?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The student vote could be especially important in the districts stretching north from Orange County, through Fullerton and La Habra, to the Los Angeles County cities of Diamond Bar and Pomona.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There, more than 100,000 students attend Cal State Fullerton, Mt. San Antonio College, Cal Poly Pomona and Fullerton College.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the November ballot, voters in the area will decide on a rematch between Democratic Congressman Gil Cisneros (D-Yorba Linda) and Republican Young Kim, the former state Assemblywoman who lost to Cisneros by fewer than 8,000 votes in 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the similarly shaped 29th State Senate District, Sen. Ling-Ling Chang (R-Diamond Bar) will defend her seat against Democrat Josh Newman. Newman defeated Chang in the 2016 election, but was recalled by voters in June of 2018, with Chang regaining the seat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And in the 55th Assembly District, incumbent Phillip Chen (R-Brea) is facing a challenge from Andrew Rodriguez, a Democratic councilman from Walnut.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='More Politics' tag='politics']In these tight races, Democratic candidates are relying on a boost from reliably liberal college voters. According to the California Target Book, “precincts adjacent to college campuses that have high concentration of voters between the ages of 18 to 34 can easily award over 90% of their votes to a Democratic candidate in a typical D vs. R race, and net the Democratic candidate thousands of raw votes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The College Democrats at Cal State Fullerton planned to spend the year focusing on those three races, said Andrew Levy, the group’s president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2018, \u003ca href=\"http://news.fullerton.edu/2019fa/student-voting-rates.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">voter engagement surged\u003c/a> on the Fullerton campus, with the voting rate increasing by nearly a third over the previous mid-term election. The 2,627 CSU Fullerton students who \u003ca href=\"https://caballotbowl.sos.ca.gov/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">registered to vote\u003c/a> marked the second-highest total of any public school in the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We planned on having a lot of people go and phone bank at the local (California Democratic Party) office and canvass in addition to that,” Levy said of the group’s plans for 2020. “But once COVID-19 hit, it was just kind of a bummer.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Orange County is one of 15 counties that already mail every voter a ballot, which could help the transition to November’s largely vote-by-mail election. And the hurdle of constantly shifting student addresses could be eased, in part, by the decision of \u003ca href=\"https://laist.com/2020/07/06/community-college-state-budget-enrollment-impact.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">many incoming freshmen\u003c/a> to stay home and attend a community college.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We actually are seeing a huge increase in the number of students who are registering for classes for Fullerton College, for Mount SAC, for Orange Coast, so there’s a lot of students who aren’t going to be moving,” said Jodi Balma, a professor of political science at Fullerton College.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But it’s a very transient population as far as moving apartment to apartment to dorm to apartment to back home,” Balma said. “And so we do want to make sure that people update their registration data.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Like Everything Else, Getting Out the Vote Moves Online\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Student organizers are hoping to convey this information to their fellow undergrads by adapting their plans to the distanced reality of the fall; with virtual phone banking and social media campaigns replacing registration tables and door-knocking trips.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The strategy is still the same: ask every student and create cultures of voting on campus. Students helping students vote through peer-to-peer contact has been shown to be the most effective,” said Nic Riani, a rising senior at UCLA and the board chair of the California Public Interest Research Group (CALPIRG) Students, which helps run the state’s Students Vote Project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Obviously, we can’t do any of our usual in-person tactics, like waving to students as they walk to class to help them register to vote or going into classes and passing out forms,” Riani said. “But we can hop into Zoom lectures to make announcements and build a network of students that are committing to voting and then call and text those students to help them make a plan to vote.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=about_15238 label='Take Our Survey']CALPIRG is running a summer internship program, collecting pledges to vote from more than 3,000 college students in California, Riani said.

Bernie Sanders in the Democratic race. Sanders, in turn, focused a lot of attention on Latinos, who make up\u003ca href=\"https://www.ppic.org/publication/race-and-voting-in-california/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> about one third\u003c/a> of the electorate in the state. And his strategy appears to have worked — with \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11804008/bernie-sanders-wins-golden-state-as-biden-racks-up-wins\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sanders leading the primary\u003c/a> with nearly 34% of the vote as of the latest count on March 4.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11804459/bernie-sanders-rallies-supporters-in-san-jose-ahead-of-california-primary\">rally in San Jose\u003c/a> the weekend before the primary, Sanders supporters got pumped up for Tuesday’s election. Among them was Abby Gonzalez, who said she has been “feeling the Bern” since she was a college student during the 2016 election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I just feel like his policies and his energy [are] still relevant and much needed,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s exactly the energy Sanders’ campaign is trying to generate — with voters in general and Latinos in particular — as he vies for the Democratic nomination. The campaign had an extensive ground game in California leading up to the primary and reached out to Latino voters all over the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"USC sociology professor Manuel Pastor\"]“In a place like California, where there’s so many mixed-status families, the way in which the Trump administration has tried to launch a kind of wave of deportations is affecting families, businesses and communities.”[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Christian Arana is with the \u003ca href=\"https://latinocf.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Latino Community Foundation\u003c/a>. He said the Sanders campaign made a concerted effort to reach Latinos in their communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He went to places like Fresno City College, Roosevelt High School in East L.A.,” Arana said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The campaign also offered a broad message to Latino voters, which was crucial. On the eve of the primary, the Latino Community Foundation, Univision and Latino Decisions\u003ca href=\"https://mcusercontent.com/f364c17d610fc07fe37e23263/files/cb98d797-7827-42fd-abca-c34040757ce7/UnivisionPolling_CA_Latino_weighted.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> released a poll of Latino voters\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We found that lowering the costs of health care was the top issue for Latinos in the state,” Arana said. “It wasn’t immigration, although immigration is a very big issue for us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Latino population is vast and diverse, and there are differences in voting patterns, particularly when it comes to age and location. For instance, while the poll found nearly half of those aged 18 to 49 favored Sanders as the Democratic nominee, just 28% of voters 50 and older supported him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>USC Sociology Professor Manuel Pastor said the divides grow when you consider the Latino populations in other states — such as Texas, which former Vice President Joe Biden won.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Texas is a more conservative Hispanic voting population, one that’s a bit more traditional,” Pastor said. “On the other hand, California has a younger, more left-leaning Latino population.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"election2020\" label=\"Election 2020\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sanders faces additional challenges. Biden has proven he can count on support from \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11805196/who-black-latino-and-asian-american-voters-supported-on-super-tuesday\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">other large voting blocks\u003c/a>, including African Americans. And Paul Mitchell, with the bipartisan voter data company \u003ca href=\"https://www.politicaldata.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Political Data\u003c/a>, said it remains to be seen whether Sanders can draw enough new voters to the polls to remain competitive in upcoming primaries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of his big selling points was that he was going to be getting people to turn out that hadn’t turned out in a presidential primary in years,” Mitchell said. “I think it’s still an open question as to whether or not his candidacy was effectively doing that in the primary.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while support for Sanders is high, Pastor suspects Latinos will still come out to vote in the November general election regardless of whether he’s the nominee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In a place like California, where there’s so many mixed-status families, the way in which the Trump administration has tried to launch a kind of wave of deportations is affecting families, businesses and communities,” Pastor said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That, plus growing income inequality, leads Pastor to believe a lot of Latinos will likely be willing to vote for almost any candidate who goes up against President Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Sanders, in turn, focused a lot of attention on Latinos, who make up\u003ca href=\"https://www.ppic.org/publication/race-and-voting-in-california/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> about one third\u003c/a> of the electorate in the state.

Among them was Abby Gonzalez, who said she has been “feeling the Bern” since she was a college student during the 2016 election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I just feel like his policies and his energy [are] still relevant and much needed,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s exactly the energy Sanders’ campaign is trying to generate — with voters in general and Latinos in particular — as he vies for the Democratic nomination. The campaign had an extensive ground game in California leading up to the primary and reached out to Latino voters all over the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And voters, just barely, are saying yes. It’s got 66.9% of the vote; it needs two-thirds to pass, and there are a number of uncounted ballots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Measure Q adds an annual parcel tax of $148 on single-family homes and an approximate $101 tax on units in apartments and condos. Nearly two-thirds of the estimated $21 million raised annually will go towards parks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re cautiously optimistic,” said Brooke Levin, co-chair of the Yes on Q campaign, who previously worked for Oakland’s Public Works Department. “People have concerns about the lack of staffing and increased usage of parks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another 30% of the revenue is slated for homeless services, but Levin said it’s unclear exactly how it will be used. The measures lists several possibilities including offering sanitation at existing homeless encampment sites, funding RV safe parking programs and paying for temporary and permanent housing. A commission will provide feedback and input on what gets done, said Levin.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Child Care Funding in Emeryville Passes; Alameda County Gets an Initial Approval\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Emeryville voters approved funding for its child care center, and in Alameda County, a half-cent sales tax to expand child care subsidies earned 63.1% of the vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This comes at a time when parents are paying as much, or more, for child care, as they do for housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The cost to parents — they can pay anywhere from $900 to $3,600 a month,” said Clarissa Doutherd, executive director of Parent Voices Oakland, an advocacy and family services organization that campaigned for Alameda County Measure C. It is a half-percent sales tax that could expand child care subsidies for low-income families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We also don’t have enough slots for children,” Doutherd said. “We don’t have enough space. There are facility needs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s unclear whether Measure C needs a simple majority or two-thirds vote to pass. That’s because cities and counties have challenged the standard, set by California law, for a local government to raise taxes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Measure C is passing, according to the county’s registrar — but it could later be challenged in court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This was the second time organizers in Alameda County, many of whom are Oakland women of color with children, tried to get a measure passed to pay for child care subsidies. In Alameda County, about 32,000 children under the age of five qualify for child care subsidies but are not enrolled, \u003ca href=\"http://www.acgov.org/ece/documents/AlamedaCounty-Unmet-Need-by-City-Age-12-12-2019.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">according to the county\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Emeryville, Measure F passed with 73.9% of the vote. It will fund the city’s child care facility but also contributes a significant amount of money to the police and emergency departments to hire more officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Nearly two-thirds of the estimated $21 million raised annually will go towards parks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re cautiously optimistic,” said Brooke Levin, co-chair of the Yes on Q campaign, who previously worked for Oakland’s Public Works Department. “People have concerns about the lack of staffing and increased usage of parks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another 30% of the revenue is slated for homeless services, but Levin said it’s unclear exactly how it will be used. The measures lists several possibilities including offering sanitation at existing homeless encampment sites, funding RV safe parking programs and paying for temporary and permanent housing. A commission will provide feedback and input on what gets done, said Levin.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Child Care Funding in Emeryville Passes; Alameda County Gets an Initial Approval\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Emeryville voters approved funding for its child care center, and in Alameda County, a half-cent sales tax to expand child care subsidies earned 63.1% of the vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This comes at a time when parents are paying as much, or more, for child care, as they do for housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The cost to parents — they can pay anywhere from $900 to $3,600 a month,” said Clarissa Doutherd, executive director of Parent Voices Oakland, an advocacy and family services organization that campaigned for Alameda County Measure C. It is a half-percent sales tax that could expand child care subsidies for low-income families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We also don’t have enough slots for children,” Doutherd said. “We don’t have enough space. There are facility needs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s unclear whether Measure C needs a simple majority or two-thirds vote to pass. That’s because cities and counties have challenged the standard, set by California law, for a local government to raise taxes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Measure C is passing, according to the county’s registrar — but it could later be challenged in court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This was the second time organizers in Alameda County, many of whom are Oakland women of color with children, tried to get a measure passed to pay for child care subsidies. In Alameda County, about 32,000 children under the age of five qualify for child care subsidies but are not enrolled, \u003ca href=\"http://www.acgov.org/ece/documents/AlamedaCounty-Unmet-Need-by-City-Age-12-12-2019.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">according to the county\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Emeryville, Measure F passed with 73.9% of the vote. It will fund the city’s child care facility but also contributes a significant amount of money to the police and emergency departments to hire more officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
