"content": "\u003cp>Donald J. Trump has been elected the 45th president of the United States, the capstone of a tumultuous and divisive campaign that won over white voters with the promise to “Make America Great Again.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump crossed the 270 electoral vote threshold at 2:31 a.m. ET, according to Associated Press projections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rise of Trump, a candidate with no prior experience in the military or elected office, confounded nearly everyone in politics. Improbably, the real estate-scion-turned-reality-TV-star had not even been a member of the Republican Party for long. That made his victory over Democratic rival Hillary Clinton even more stunning, preventing her from becoming the nation’s first female president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in a rough-and-tumble campaign, Trump convinced a large slice of the American electorate that the government, Wall Street and the justice system were rigged. “I will be your voice,” he told supporters, who then defied the polls to propel him to the nation’s highest office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critical battleground states broke Trump’s way.

Trump has been elected the 45th president of the United States, the capstone of a tumultuous and divisive campaign that won over white voters with the promise to “Make America Great Again.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump crossed the 270 electoral vote threshold at 2:31 a.m. ET, according to Associated Press projections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rise of Trump, a candidate with no prior experience in the military or elected office, confounded nearly everyone in politics. Improbably, the real estate-scion-turned-reality-TV-star had not even been a member of the Republican Party for long. That made his victory over Democratic rival Hillary Clinton even more stunning, preventing her from becoming the nation’s first female president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in a rough-and-tumble campaign, Trump convinced a large slice of the American electorate that the government, Wall Street and the justice system were rigged. “I will be your voice,” he told supporters, who then defied the polls to propel him to the nation’s highest office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critical battleground states broke Trump’s way. Delegate-rich Ohio, Florida, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin moved to the Republican candidate. Many polls failed to predict those shifts, leaving crowds at Trump’s party in New York momentarily puzzled, then celebratory.

Teacher Zerrien-Lee says it will make it easier for more schools to establish dual-language programs like the one where she teaches, in which all students are taught in both English and another language.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Most families in California have not been able to access that,” said Zerrien-Lee. “They didn’t know they had the right to bilingual education for their kids, and they didn’t know how to go about getting it. And most school districts did not really advertise it or let parents know they had the right.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many education experts, as well as influential Latino state lawmakers, say helping young people in California master more than one language today is extremely valuable to succeed in a global economy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The initiative’s most vocal opponent, Silicon Valley businessman \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/Ron.Unz/\">Ron Unz\u003c/a>, who led the 1998 campaign to dismantle bilingual education, continued to argue this year that bilingual education simply does not effectively teach students the English language.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://voterguide.sos.ca.gov/en/propositions/55/\">Proposition 55\u003c/a> also emerged victorious late Tuesday night. Of the three education-related ballot measures this year, this measure could arguably have the biggest impact on students in the classroom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The measure requires the wealthiest of Californians to continue paying higher taxes for another 12 years to fund schools and health care programs for low-income families. It’s considered an extension of \u003ca href=\"http://trackprop30.ca.gov/\">Proposition 30\u003c/a>, approved in 2012, which raised both sales and income taxes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11165612\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11165612\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/SpcEd-800x490.jpg\" alt=\"Special education instructional aide Jocelyn Ramirez (middle) works with students in small groups at Oak Ridge Elementary School in the Sacramento Unified School District.\" width=\"800\" height=\"490\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/SpcEd-800x490.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/SpcEd-160x98.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/SpcEd-1020x625.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/SpcEd.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/SpcEd-1180x723.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/SpcEd-960x588.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/SpcEd-240x147.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/SpcEd-375x230.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/SpcEd-520x319.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Special education instructional aide Jocelyn Ramirez (middle) works with students in small groups at Oak Ridge Elementary School in the Sacramento Unified School District.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“I’m very excited because it confirms that California voters and Californians believe in their public schools and are willing to stand up for our students,” said Eric Heins, president of the California Teachers Association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Education groups across California, including the state’s two most powerful teachers unions, have been pushing hard for the extension, staging rallies up and down the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They say the tax extension is desperately needed to protect future spending for schools. For the first time in nearly a decade, schools are actually hiring more teachers and staff, as well as adopting more academic programs to meet the specific needs of their students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What this money allows us to do is to continue all those exciting changes and restore programs like career and technical education, music and art and keep class sizes at least down to a reasonable level,” said Heins. “It doesn’t fix everything. I mean, it’s certainly not the panacea, but it brings a kind of stability so we can continue to make the kinds of changes that are actually good for our students, so we can focus on the whole child. As a teacher it makes me very excited.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without Proposition 55, districts could have once again faced the volatility of the state’s boom-and-bust budget cycles, possibly resulting in big education spending cuts.

I mean, it’s certainly not the panacea, but it brings a kind of stability so we can continue to make the kinds of changes that are actually good for our students, so we can focus on the whole child. As a teacher it makes me very excited.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without Proposition 55, districts could have once again faced the volatility of the state’s boom-and-bust budget cycles, possibly resulting in big education spending cuts.

"content": "\u003cp>SAN FRANCISCO — California voters waited in lines to cast their ballots Tuesday and peppered elections officials and monitors with questions about polling locations and absentee ballots, as voting got underway in the Golden State in what was expected to be a high turnout election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Frustrations ran high at a few Los Angeles polling places as voters were left waiting two hours when ballot-marking devices and rosters arrived late. Elections officials didn’t say what caused the delay at Delano Recreation Center in Van Nuys.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s been a fiasco,” said voter Bob Corbett, who arrived well before the 7 a.m. opening time and said he would wait as long as it took to cast his vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were no immediate reports of similar problems or glitches elsewhere in the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A record 19.4 million voters in California are registered for the presidential election — about 78 percent of those eligible. That’s the highest percentage of eligible citizens registered before a general election in 20 years, the Secretary of State’s Office said in a statement. About 5 million people have already cast ballots in early voting, according to the data tracking firm Political Data Inc., with millions more voters expected to show up at polls Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At least 150 people were waiting to vote at the North Hollywood Amelia Earhart Regional Library in Los Angeles before it opened. Long lines were reported at polling places across the city, as voters hoped to cast their ballots before heading to work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Northern California, a steady stream of cars pulled up to an absentee ballot drop-off station outside a courthouse in Oakland. And at a columbarium in San Francisco that served as a polling location, people filled out their ballots on steps next to urns and crypts after officials ran out of voting booths.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kim Alexander, president of the California Voter Foundation, said she fielded calls from people who lost their absentee ballots or wondered whether they could cast a vote in a different county because they weren’t going to be in their home county. Alexander said you can vote at a different polling place in the county in which you’re registered, but cautioned against trying to vote in a different county.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tuesday’s turnout appeared consistent with heavy in-person crowds reported by elections officials at polling sites over the weekend and Monday. In Los Angeles County, thousands of voters waited hours over the weekend to cast ballots, some standing in line for three hours or more. Nearly 18,000 ballots were cast Saturday and Sunday in the county.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 50 patients at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles were able to vote from their hospital beds, thanks to a volunteer program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lara Ibrahim had planned to vote at her usual polling place but ended up giving birth earlier than expected. She cast her ballot in her hospital room with her new baby, George, by her side. Volunteers brought ballots to eligible patients and then dropped them off at a polling station.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is not known for long lines on Election Day, but some observers said that this election is different. There are 17 statewide ballot measures, in addition to local measures, that may take time for voters to digest while they are inside voting booths.

Elections officials didn’t say what caused the delay at Delano Recreation Center in Van Nuys.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s been a fiasco,” said voter Bob Corbett, who arrived well before the 7 a.m. opening time and said he would wait as long as it took to cast his vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were no immediate reports of similar problems or glitches elsewhere in the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A record 19.4 million voters in California are registered for the presidential election — about 78 percent of those eligible.

Federal Election Commission, which established that the First Amendment applies to corporations and, as a result, the government cannot limit their political spending.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The landmark decision dramatically increased the amounts of money that flowed into political campaigns across the country from corporations and labor unions, allowing them to spend unlimited dollars on political advertisements prior to an election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In general, Democrats favor overturning the ruling, while some Republicans want to see it stand.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘We’d like to send a message to our congressional members that they need to take action.’\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Vermont Sen.
