His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

Roughly 65% of them are split among the state’s 53 congressional districts. The rest are statewide delegates. A candidate needs to get at least 15% of the popular vote in a given congressional district to qualify for any of that district’s delegates (which are then awarded proportionally). Same deal for statewide delegates: Candidates don’t get squat unless they receive at least 15% of the statewide vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And all the votes first need to be tallied to figure out that math.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that doesn’t mean tonight won’t be fun to watch. With 14 states and a territory (American Somoa) weighing in, there’ll be plenty of news to chew on. Here in California, we’ll at least have a pretty good idea by later tonight — based on ballots already counted — of who’s likely to come in first, second and third in the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But for the nitty-gritty details — it could take awhile.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Correction: A previous version of this story incorrectly stated that the American territory of Guam was voting on Super Tuesday.

A candidate needs to get at least 15% of the popular vote in a given congressional district to qualify for any of that district’s delegates (which are then awarded proportionally). Same deal for statewide delegates: Candidates don’t get squat unless they receive at least 15% of the statewide vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And all the votes first need to be tallied to figure out that math.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

There are 144 delegates, independent of congressional districts, that get allocated based on a candidates’ statewide vote totals. And similar to the district rules, candidates who receive less than 15% of the statewide vote don’t get any delegates from this pot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If a candidate gets, say, 20% of the vote statewide they’ll get at least 20% of those 144 delegates — or nearly 29 delegates — and possibly more if some of the other candidates have failed to exceed the 15% threshold, which is very likely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If any one candidate approaches 45-50% of the statewide vote — which Vermont Sen.

However, (as if this wasn’t confusing enough), they’re only allowed to vote on the nomination at the convention in Milwaukee after no candidate wins a majority of the delegates on the first round of voting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that scenario would only take place if there’s a “brokered convention.” Think of it like a game of “Survivor,” where candidates try to make deals with other candidates and delegates to win enough support to secure the nomination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That hasn’t happened in more than half a century, but with so many candidates running, it’s at least possible this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whatever happens Tuesday and the days afterward, California finally has the relevance it has long sought in a presidential primary campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So this is a new experience and I think Californians love being part of the presidential process,” Smith said.

And similar to the district rules, candidates who receive less than 15% of the statewide vote don’t get any delegates from this pot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If a candidate gets, say, 20% of the vote statewide they’ll get at least 20% of those 144 delegates — or nearly 29 delegates — and possibly more if some of the other candidates have failed to exceed the 15% threshold, which is very likely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If any one candidate approaches 45-50% of the statewide vote — which Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders has the best shot at, according to a recent \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11803348/kqed-poll-bernie-sanders-dominates-the-field-in-california\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">KQED/Change Research poll\u003c/a> — it will make it that much harder for other candidates to hit the 15% statewide threshold needed to win a share of the 144 statewide delegates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But if Bernie stays in the 30s, there’s plenty of room for two or maybe even three candidates to get above 15%,” said San Francisco political consultant Ace Smith.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other group of delegates are the so-called superdelegates — California has 79 of them. These are generally elected, high-profile California Democrats including the governor, members of Congress and Democratic National Committee officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

You can’t be an equestrian here,” Danville Mayor Karen Stepper said. “It’s not your land to use, but it will be when it’s owned by East Bay Regional Parks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation=\"Danville Mayor Karen Stepper\"]‘It’s not your land to use, but it will be when it’s owned by East Bay Regional Parks.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Park District has \u003ca href=\"https://www.danville.ca.gov/DocumentCenter/View/3941/12-05-19-Letter-from-EBRPD-to-Town-Manager-Joe-Calabrigo-PDF\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">agreed to take on 213 acres\u003c/a> of the proposed open space, the management of which will be paid for by the developer and the project’s new residents. Opponents, however, point out that the details on the funding and management of the open space are not enshrined in the ballot language.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stepper envisions the project reaping new benefits for her town: new bike lanes and stop lights on Diablo Road to mitigate the traffic impact, an extension of wildlife corridors and the creation of hiking and bike trails on the ranch land.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The alternative, Stepper said, could be a future development that dedicates the entire ranch land to more sprawling housing construction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That would be 78 homes on five-acre lots, so that doesn’t leave you any room for trails, bikes or even the limitations and the traffic improvements,” she said. “So we don’t want to see that happen.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Davidon Homes, the developer, has been trying to drive that message home with a flurry of campaign spending.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=related coverage\" tag=\"election2020\"]According to campaign filings through the end of January, the Yes on Y committee has spent $428,883 to support the measure. The No on Y committee, in comparison, has spent $32,947 to oppose the project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The project’s proponents have been shrewd to democratize the benefits of the development in their effort to “shape the narrative around how it’s not just protecting humble, insignificant little plants,” Press said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the political miscalculations that sometimes open space advocates have done is to advocate for getting land into some preserved status using public funds, but then not allowing for public access,” Press said. “It’s not popular with a taxpaying public to just lock up some piece of land and say, ‘Well, you know, we did a good job for habitat.’ That just doesn’t play.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ultimately, Danville residents like Luke Hickey will have to weigh how the changes to the Magee property will affect their use of the land and its surroundings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I do a lot of hiking, I do a lot of trail running, I hike with the kids and the family.

You’re not in Iowa anymore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although a calendar packed with county fairs, barbecues and house parties might be enough to carry you through the early states that will vote and caucus in February, California — boasting the largest reserve of candidate-electing party delegates — is a different game.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Our electorate is diverse. Our election procedures, complex. Our population, enormous; our costs of campaigning, even more so. And now that California’s primary has been boosted to March 3, just after the first contests in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina, the qualities that make California politics unique might actually matter this time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So consider this your primer. We spoke to five experts — two Democratic political consultants, a political data guru, a veteran campaign operator-turned-academic and a California elections researcher — to learn more about the dos and don’ts of California presidential campaigning.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Tip #1: Every vote matters — but early votes may matter more\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>On Feb. 3, hundreds of thousands of Iowans will head to their first-in-the-nation caucuses — and multiples more will start getting their ballots in the mail in California, where any registered voter can cast an absentee ballot for any reason.

But in California’s Democratic presidential primary, votes are translated into delegates — party members who will convene at the national party convention in July to formally elect a nominee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the conversion from popular vote to electoral outcome is a\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/projects/california-2020-presidential-primary-voting-rules-register-democrat-republican-independent/\"> \u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/projects/california-2020-presidential-primary-voting-rules-register-democrat-republican-independent/\">little more complicated\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s partly because more than half of the state’s delegates are awarded based not on the statewide vote, but on each candidate’s performance in the state’s 53 congressional districts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So even smaller campaigns with little hope of competing everywhere in the state can still make a California congressional district into their own private Iowa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you’re (Andrew) Yang and you want to ensure that you’re on that CNN big board on election night,” said Mitchell, “the easiest thing to do is go spend three days in (a single district in the Bay Area) and cobble together support from the Asian community, from across Silicon Valley and from other highly educated voters there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even better if you can find a district outside the large metro areas and make a splash inland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In Los Angeles, you never know when there’s going to be a car chase or a wildfire or the mayor is doing a press conference, and that’s going to bump you off the news,” said Kapolczynski. Not so in Fresno. “It’s a red part of the state but there are still delegates there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet targeting a district with pinpoint precision isn’t always easy — or cheap. Many suburban and exurban districts still exist within the broadcast media market of their closest big city. Democratic strategist Garry South pointed to the western Riverside County district represented by GOP Rep. Ken Calvert.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s crazy to buy (ads on) a very expensive radio station in the LA media market to try to beam signals in Congressional District 42,” he said. “You might think you can just cherry-pick a district here or a district there, but it just doesn’t work that way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11798086\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1024px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11798086\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/GettyImages-1201971516-1020x680.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Democratic presidential candidate former Vice President Joe Biden speaks during a campaign event inside the John Deere Exhibition Hall at the FFA Enrichment Center on Jan. 25 in Ankeny, Iowa. \u003ccite>(Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Tip #4: Remember the crossovers\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Registered voters who don’t belong to a political party in California are allowed to vote in the Democratic primary —\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/projects/california-2020-presidential-primary-voting-rules-register-democrat-republican-independent/\"> \u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/projects/california-2020-presidential-primary-voting-rules-register-democrat-republican-independent/\">but only if they ask for the right ballot\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For candidates whose appeal extends outside the partisan tent, the existence of “crossover voters” creates both the opportunity to grab more voters and the challenge of having to educate millions of people about the minutiae of California election procedure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Targeting young voters and Californians of color (particularly Latinos) has been an\u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/17/podcasts/the-daily/bernie-sanders-latino.html\"> \u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/17/podcasts/the-daily/bernie-sanders-latino.html\">integral\u003c/a> part of the Sanders campaign’s strategy across the state. These are also voting blocs that are disproportionately likely not to belong to any party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sanders didn’t win in California last time potentially because his campaign wasn’t as adept at some of the nuances of the election system,” said Mitchell. “In a way, by being able to take a second bite at the apple, now the Sanders campaign is so much better armed to deal with these issues than they were in 2016.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But California independents span the ideological spectrum. They include, said Kapolczynski, voters turned off by President Trump but without loyalties to either party — “moderates who don’t want a revolution or big structural change,” as promised by Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think independents are a natural target for (Joe) Biden, (Michael) Bloomberg, (Amy) Klobuchar and (Pete) Buttigieg,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Older, more conservative Central Valley voters might like Biden or Buttigieg,” added Mitchell. “Higher-income white women in suburban areas might want to vote for Warren…Every campaign has someplace to gain.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Tip #5: If all else fails, plan on having a boatload of money…or hope all goes well in Iowa\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The sheer size of California means the hand-shaking, baby-kissing retail politics that defines the campaign trail from Des Moines to Manchester doesn’t get you very far out here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have more registered voters than there are people living in 47 of the 49 other states — and they’re dispersed across a state almost a thousand miles long,” said South. “You couldn’t go to enough house parties in 20 years to make an impact here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, candidates rely more on (really expensive) advertising.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“On TV alone, which doesn’t include digital or mail or field campaigns, it can cost more than $3 million per week for one ad statewide,” said Kapolczynski. That’s prohibitively expensive for some campaigns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Are you going to spend a major portion of your resources in California and risk losing in the early states?” she said. “For some candidates, like Amy Klobuchar, she just doesn’t have the money to do both. and is hoping for a better than expected finish in those early states.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A better-than-expected finish in the early states can go a long way in California, said Bob Shrum, a former political operative now at the University of Southern California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It all depends on what happens in Iowa or New Hampshire. If any candidate wins in both — especially Biden — California might be in the position its always been in since 1972: It becomes a ratifying state rather than a deciding state,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a jumble of results in the first four states with no clear frontrunner would give California voters a bit more sway. Bloomberg, who isn’t even competing in the early states is counting on exactly that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He either needs a mess in the early states,” Shrum said, “or he needs Sanders to emerge early on and he can become the moderate alternative.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the candidates not named Bloomberg or Tom Steyer, the two billionaires in the race, said Kapolczynski: “The best way to win California is to win the first four states.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem> \u003ca href=\"http://calmatters.org/\">CalMatters.org\u003c/a> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

You’re not in Iowa anymore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although a calendar packed with county fairs, barbecues and house parties might be enough to carry you through the early states that will vote and caucus in February, California — boasting the largest reserve of candidate-electing party delegates — is a different game.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Our electorate is diverse. Our election procedures, complex. Our population, enormous; our costs of campaigning, even more so. And now that California’s primary has been boosted to March 3, just after the first contests in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina, the qualities that make California politics unique might actually matter this time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So consider this your primer. We spoke to five experts — two Democratic political consultants, a political data guru, a veteran campaign operator-turned-academic and a California elections researcher — to learn more about the dos and don’ts of California presidential campaigning.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Tip #1: Every vote matters — but early votes may matter more\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>On Feb. 3, hundreds of thousands of Iowans will head to their first-in-the-nation caucuses — and multiples more will start getting their ballots in the mail in California, where any registered voter can cast an absentee ballot for any reason.

But in California’s Democratic presidential primary, votes are translated into delegates — party members who will convene at the national party convention in July to formally elect a nominee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the conversion from popular vote to electoral outcome is a\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/projects/california-2020-presidential-primary-voting-rules-register-democrat-republican-independent/\"> \u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/projects/california-2020-presidential-primary-voting-rules-register-democrat-republican-independent/\">little more complicated\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s partly because more than half of the state’s delegates are awarded based not on the statewide vote, but on each candidate’s performance in the state’s 53 congressional districts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So even smaller campaigns with little hope of competing everywhere in the state can still make a California congressional district into their own private Iowa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you’re (Andrew) Yang and you want to ensure that you’re on that CNN big board on election night,” said Mitchell, “the easiest thing to do is go spend three days in (a single district in the Bay Area) and cobble together support from the Asian community, from across Silicon Valley and from other highly educated voters there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even better if you can find a district outside the large metro areas and make a splash inland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In Los Angeles, you never know when there’s going to be a car chase or a wildfire or the mayor is doing a press conference, and that’s going to bump you off the news,” said Kapolczynski. Not so in Fresno. “It’s a red part of the state but there are still delegates there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet targeting a district with pinpoint precision isn’t always easy — or cheap. Many suburban and exurban districts still exist within the broadcast media market of their closest big city. Democratic strategist Garry South pointed to the western Riverside County district represented by GOP Rep. Ken Calvert.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s crazy to buy (ads on) a very expensive radio station in the LA media market to try to beam signals in Congressional District 42,” he said. “You might think you can just cherry-pick a district here or a district there, but it just doesn’t work that way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11798086\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1024px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11798086\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/GettyImages-1201971516-1020x680.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Democratic presidential candidate former Vice President Joe Biden speaks during a campaign event inside the John Deere Exhibition Hall at the FFA Enrichment Center on Jan. 25 in Ankeny, Iowa. \u003ccite>(Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Tip #4: Remember the crossovers\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Registered voters who don’t belong to a political party in California are allowed to vote in the Democratic primary —\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/projects/california-2020-presidential-primary-voting-rules-register-democrat-republican-independent/\"> \u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/projects/california-2020-presidential-primary-voting-rules-register-democrat-republican-independent/\">but only if they ask for the right ballot\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For candidates whose appeal extends outside the partisan tent, the existence of “crossover voters” creates both the opportunity to grab more voters and the challenge of having to educate millions of people about the minutiae of California election procedure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Targeting young voters and Californians of color (particularly Latinos) has been an\u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/17/podcasts/the-daily/bernie-sanders-latino.html\"> \u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/17/podcasts/the-daily/bernie-sanders-latino.html\">integral\u003c/a> part of the Sanders campaign’s strategy across the state. These are also voting blocs that are disproportionately likely not to belong to any party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sanders didn’t win in California last time potentially because his campaign wasn’t as adept at some of the nuances of the election system,” said Mitchell. “In a way, by being able to take a second bite at the apple, now the Sanders campaign is so much better armed to deal with these issues than they were in 2016.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But California independents span the ideological spectrum. They include, said Kapolczynski, voters turned off by President Trump but without loyalties to either party — “moderates who don’t want a revolution or big structural change,” as promised by Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think independents are a natural target for (Joe) Biden, (Michael) Bloomberg, (Amy) Klobuchar and (Pete) Buttigieg,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Older, more conservative Central Valley voters might like Biden or Buttigieg,” added Mitchell. “Higher-income white women in suburban areas might want to vote for Warren…Every campaign has someplace to gain.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Tip #5: If all else fails, plan on having a boatload of money…or hope all goes well in Iowa\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The sheer size of California means the hand-shaking, baby-kissing retail politics that defines the campaign trail from Des Moines to Manchester doesn’t get you very far out here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have more registered voters than there are people living in 47 of the 49 other states — and they’re dispersed across a state almost a thousand miles long,” said South. “You couldn’t go to enough house parties in 20 years to make an impact here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, candidates rely more on (really expensive) advertising.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“On TV alone, which doesn’t include digital or mail or field campaigns, it can cost more than $3 million per week for one ad statewide,” said Kapolczynski. That’s prohibitively expensive for some campaigns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Are you going to spend a major portion of your resources in California and risk losing in the early states?” she said. “For some candidates, like Amy Klobuchar, she just doesn’t have the money to do both. and is hoping for a better than expected finish in those early states.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A better-than-expected finish in the early states can go a long way in California, said Bob Shrum, a former political operative now at the University of Southern California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It all depends on what happens in Iowa or New Hampshire. If any candidate wins in both — especially Biden — California might be in the position its always been in since 1972: It becomes a ratifying state rather than a deciding state,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a jumble of results in the first four states with no clear frontrunner would give California voters a bit more sway. Bloomberg, who isn’t even competing in the early states is counting on exactly that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He either needs a mess in the early states,” Shrum said, “or he needs Sanders to emerge early on and he can become the moderate alternative.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the candidates not named Bloomberg or Tom Steyer, the two billionaires in the race, said Kapolczynski: “The best way to win California is to win the first four states.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem> \u003ca href=\"http://calmatters.org/\">CalMatters.org\u003c/a> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In 2018, NPP overtook the Republican Party as the second-largest voting block in the state after Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As of Oct. 1, 2019, there were nearly 5.5 million residents registered as NPP in California, according to the \u003ca href=\"https://elections.cdn.sos.ca.gov/ror/154day-presprim-2020/historical-reg-stats.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Secretary of State’s office\u003c/a>. That marks 26.7% of registered voters, compared to 23.6% for Republicans and 44.1% for Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Secretary of State Alex Padilla attributes some of that growth to the state’s open primary rules. Proposition 14, which voters passed in 2010, replaced traditional party primaries with open contests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Over the last several election cycles, Californians have quickly gotten used to this top-two vote-getter system,” Padilla said. “Anybody can vote for anybody … so your party registration hasn’t really mattered. But it’s not the case when it comes to voting for president.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dan Schnur, a political strategist who teaches at UC Berkeley and Pepperdine University, attributes the rise in NPP voters to three other factors: a growing number of younger voters, a voter registration process that’s made it easier to become NPP and, most importantly, an increasing rejection of the two major parties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Californians who want to participate in the political process, who want to be active voters and engaged citizens, simply see the two parties as unacceptable alternatives and are looking for another option,” Schnur said. The notion that so-called “independent voters” tend to be more moderate, hovering between Democratic and Republican is a misconception, he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What causes someone to refer to themselves as independent, what causes someone to re-register as a no party preference voter is not centrism or moderation,” Schnur said. “Rather, it’s a dislike and a disdain for politics and politicians.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That being said, the NPP block is still a hot get for Democratic contenders.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>How Will NPP Voters Influence California’s Primary?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Hard to say. But it will likely come down to two factors: how much Democratic contenders campaign for the NPP vote and whether the NPP block actually votes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The block of no party preference voters … really does represent a huge number of potential voters,” Schnur said. “But you haven’t seen as aggressive an outreach effort from most of the campaigns yet in that direction.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A couple of candidates have taken note, though.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article239261123.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">current Democratic front-runner\u003c/a> in California, according to recent polls, is among the candidates making a concerted effort to win over the state’s independents. His\u003ca href=\"https://berniesanders.com/california/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> campaign website\u003c/a>, for example, has a section alerting NPP voters to the fact that they can participate in the Democratic contest without re-registering as Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an \u003ca href=\"https://bakersfieldnow.com/news/local/independents-could-decide-californias-democratic-primary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">interview with the Associated Press\u003c/a>, Sanders’ California campaign director, Rafael Návar, called independents “a very important block of voters” who will be “supportive of the politics of the senator.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"2020-presidential-election\"]Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, another Democratic hopeful, who has opted not to participate in early state contests in order to focus campaign efforts on California and other Super Tuesday primaries, has also taken aim at the state’s NPP block.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Since no party preference is such a big preference for folks in the primary, we are absolutely reaching out to them, just as we are to Democrats, to ensure that they understand that their vote matters,” said Stockton Mayor Michael Tubbs, who is serving as Bloomberg’s national campaign co-chair.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Part of beating Donald Trump is ensuring that people who are independent or have no party preference also are part of our governing coalition,” he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the impact of NPP voters will ultimately come down to whether or not they cast a vote — and if history is any guide, independent turnout will lag, according to Paul Mitchell, vice president of the bipartisan voter data firm \u003ca href=\"https://www.politicaldata.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Political Data, Inc.\u003c/a>, who said his firm has a tally showing that less than 9% of NPP voters in California who plan to vote by mail have returned a postcard requesting a crossover ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So that means of the 4.2 million [NPP] voters in California, only 9% of them can vote in the presidential primary right now,” Mitchell said, adding that historically, the NPP block is significantly more likely to vote by mail than in person.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Where Democratic campaigns could make a difference, Mitchell added, is educating NPP voters on how they can vote — and making sure they request a ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you want to impact nonpartisan turnout, the best way you can do it is to get those nonpartisans that top-of-ticket race, and get them that Democratic ballot,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

In 2018, NPP overtook the Republican Party as the second-largest voting block in the state after Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As of Oct. 1, 2019, there were nearly 5.5 million residents registered as NPP in California, according to the \u003ca href=\"https://elections.cdn.sos.ca.gov/ror/154day-presprim-2020/historical-reg-stats.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Secretary of State’s office\u003c/a>. That marks 26.7% of registered voters, compared to 23.6% for Republicans and 44.1% for Democrats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Secretary of State Alex Padilla attributes some of that growth to the state’s open primary rules. Proposition 14, which voters passed in 2010, replaced traditional party primaries with open contests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Over the last several election cycles, Californians have quickly gotten used to this top-two vote-getter system,” Padilla said. “Anybody can vote for anybody … so your party registration hasn’t really mattered. But it’s not the case when it comes to voting for president.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dan Schnur, a political strategist who teaches at UC Berkeley and Pepperdine University, attributes the rise in NPP voters to three other factors: a growing number of younger voters, a voter registration process that’s made it easier to become NPP and, most importantly, an increasing rejection of the two major parties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Californians who want to participate in the political process, who want to be active voters and engaged citizens, simply see the two parties as unacceptable alternatives and are looking for another option,” Schnur said. The notion that so-called “independent voters” tend to be more moderate, hovering between Democratic and Republican is a misconception, he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What causes someone to refer to themselves as independent, what causes someone to re-register as a no party preference voter is not centrism or moderation,” Schnur said. “Rather, it’s a dislike and a disdain for politics and politicians.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That being said, the NPP block is still a hot get for Democratic contenders.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>How Will NPP Voters Influence California’s Primary?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Hard to say. But it will likely come down to two factors: how much Democratic contenders campaign for the NPP vote and whether the NPP block actually votes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
