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.",

Reasonable people can disagree about that. But oh, boy, politics are incredibly tied up with this,\" said Robert Weisberg, co-director of the Stanford Criminal Justice Center. He said recent governors, Republican and Democrat, have taken very different approaches to parole decisions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"[Former Gov.] Gray Davis just didn't want anybody to be paroled. Schwarzenegger changed things a little. [Former Gov. Jerry] Brown changed things considerably,\" Weisberg said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11886134 hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/GettyImages-2586310-1020x740.jpg']Newsom, Weisberg said, has taken a slightly more cautious approach to parole decisions than Jerry Brown did, and hasn't hesitated to reverse parole recommendations, as he did for two followers of cult leader Charles Manson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whatever happens with Sirhan, one big policy reversal that could come with a Republican governor is the resumption of capital punishment, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11732605/gov-newsom-halts-executions-opponents-call-move-an-abuse-of-power\">which Newsom put on hold shortly after he took office\u003c/a>. A new governor could instantly reverse that, but Weisberg said it's unlikely that executions would resume immediately: He noted that any new governor would only have about a year in office before the next gubernatorial election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I suspect if a new governor lifts the moratorium, it's going to be largely symbolic, certainly in the very short term in which the newly elected governor serves,\" because, Weisberg said, defense lawyers would ramp up legal appeals to slow down the process.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The bully pulpit\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Genest, the former Republican finance director, agrees with Weisberg that the biggest change in criminal justice policy with a new governor might be mostly symbolic. He said a new governor couldn't change most of the criminal justice reforms passed by voters and lawmakers in recent years — but they could use the bully pulpit to change the conversation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Yeah, the governor can't do anything about the crime laws without getting the people engaged in demanding that we fight crime,\" he said. \"But until you have a governor who's willing to take those stands, you can't start improving that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But even a short-term governor could make an impact on the courts and other policy through appointments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's thousands and thousands of appointments that the governor makes, including judges,\" said Williamson, the former Brown aide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So all of a sudden, you could have our courts stacked with super-conservative judges. As you see in the federal government, climate change policies could be impacted because the governor has appointees on the California Air Resources Board,\" Williamson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, she notes, judges aren’t the only appointments a governor makes. A new governor could fire the heads of agencies overseeing health, the environment, schools — pretty much everything.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11886431 hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/GettyImages-1234716783-1020x599.jpg']There’s also the potential for less quantifiable impacts, said Daniel Zingale, who worked as a policy adviser for both Schwarzenegger and Newsom. He said state agencies could see a brain drain if staff members are demoralized by a new governor’s approach to policies like health care or pandemic response.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think many of the current people are just hanging on out of dedication to fighting the pandemic. So, if they felt like a new leader came in and didn't have that as a priority, you'll probably have some exodus,\" Zingale said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jennifer Kent agreed, calling the potential for an exodus of career state workers \"one of the most devastating effects, far greater than a temporary loss of this program or that payment,\" because, she said, it's much harder to replace experience and expertise than to reverse a policy decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The state budget\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>And then there’s the budget. A new governor would take office at the end of October, right as the administration is normally starting to prepare a spending proposal, which must be unveiled by law in early January.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That budget proposal would be a new governor’s biggest opportunity to put a stamp on state government, said Lanhee Chen, a Republican running for state controller and a fellow at the Hoover Institution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It is a way of sending a strong message about what the priorities of an administration are and where the administration is going to fight with a Legislature,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11885994,news_11885679]Former administration officials on both sides of the aisle agree that, if a Republican wins the recall, a stalemate over the budget with Democratic lawmakers is all but inevitable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That could lead to budget negotiations dragging on beyond the July 1 start of the fiscal year, said Genest, the GOP former finance director.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He argued that while a late budget isn’t ideal and could harm private companies that do business with the state, it wouldn't affect most Californians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The state has a long history of late budgets and there's really nothing dramatic that happens with a late budget,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Williamson disagreed, noting that schools must plan their spending months in advance and that if state agencies run out of appropriated money, they could be forced to lay off workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You know, you could have a situation where a school district says, 'Well, we don't know what the state budget situation looks like, so we are going to cut sports and arts and after-school programs,'\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, a new governor and state lawmakers could put politics aside and try to find common ground. One former Republican Assembly leader said he would urge any new governor to search for areas of agreement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When you’re governor, if you cannot work with the Legislature, you cannot solve problems,\" said former San Luis Obispo Assemblymember Sam Blakeslee, who served during the tenure of the last, and only, governor to win a recall election — Arnold Schwarzenegger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We don't have a dictatorship, we don't have powers conveyed to a governor to unilaterally solve problems,\" he said. \"An effective governor is someone who could work with the legislative branch.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

The incumbent candidate looked likely to keep the seat, but Ureña, who had just graduated from the University of California, Santa Cruz, wanted to at least give voters a more progressive choice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Months later, he soared to victory, winning 70% of the vote in the Imperial County border town, which sits across from the larger Mexican city of Mexicali, visible from Ureña's front lawn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ureña knew that a winning campaign would have to speak to Latino neighbors who had been hit by the pandemic worse than any community in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trusting younger Latino neighbors to disseminate campaign information from social media to their parents and grandparents, \"even in a pandemic setting where we're not able to make in-person events, was really what drove our success,\" said Ureña. \"And just the content of the message: that people are suffering — it really spoke to the fact that they did want a change in leadership.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A desire for change pulsed through the Imperial County electorate in 2020, from \u003ca href=\"https://calexicochronicle.com/2020/11/04/marroquin-silva-cardenas-singh-win-election-to-el-centro-council/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">municipal\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"https://www.thedesertreview.com/elections/new-calexico-city-councilmembers-get-sworn-in/article_ddef4628-3e0c-11eb-9e87-936ff4deebb1.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">races\u003c/a> to the top of the ticket.

In California's most heavily Latino county, demographics alone could not deliver the gains Democrats have come to rely on from Latino voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the county's one constant — low voter participation — points to fossilized methods of party outreach to a largely Spanish-speaking community that is also grappling with twin health and economic crises.[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Sayrs Morris, Imperial County Republican Central Committee chair\"]'I think a lot of people just really were not engaged, but when they saw what Trump was doing and his policies were helping make our area secure and prosperous, they really wanted to come out and support him.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The Democratic Party doesn't really exist here in Imperial County,\" said Ureña.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If these trends spread beyond the Imperial Valley, it could spell trouble for Gov. Gavin Newsom in the state's September 14 recall election. Early polls on the recall show evidence of a depressed Democratic turnout and lukewarm support for Newsom among California Latinos — two factors that could result in the governor's removal from office, although early tabulations of ballots returned so far indicate growing Democratic engagement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Right now in Imperial County, Ureña said, \"most people don't even know what the recall is about.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>'No. 1 in all the bad things'\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Imperial County stretches from the canyons east of San Diego to the Arizona border. Its economy is dominated by agriculture; the valley's priority claim to Colorado River water transformed the region into a winter vegetable powerhouse, sending lettuce and salad mix to supermarkets across the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Everyday issues ailing the residents of Imperial County can make civic participation a low priority, said Raul Navarro, a political science instructor at Imperial Valley College.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Job opportunities are few and far between: The county's \u003ca href=\"https://www.labormarketinfo.edd.ca.gov/data/interactive-labor-market-data-tools.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">unemployment rate\u003c/a> is 18.9%, a mark far higher than anywhere else in the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rates of diabetes, heart disease and asthma are exacerbated by local pollutants, like the chemical-laden dust blowing from the exposed bed of the Salton Sea and the exhaust of cars idling at the border port of entry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>COVID-19 has ripped through the county, resulting in the \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/projects/california-coronavirus-cases-tracking-outbreak/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">state's highest number of deaths\u003c/a> per 100,000 residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re No. 1 in all the bad things,\" said Navarro.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And in voter turnout, Imperial County comes last. In 2020, amid record participation throughout California, only 67% of registered voters in Imperial County cast a ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those who did largely eschewed the progressive changes pursued by statewide Democrats, rejecting ballot measures to expand affirmative action, rent control, gig worker employment and bail reform.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>A president focused on the border\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>But no issue resonates for voters in Imperial County more than immigration. For many living along it, Trump's constant emphasis on the border hit a chord.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We certainly saw that in terms of the money that was coming into the region to secure our border, upgrade our fencing,\" said Steven Mireles, treasurer of the Imperial County Republican Central Committee. \"And I think that that was one of the issues of many that Trump spoke towards, that really motivated voters that hadn't voted Republican or maybe even hadn't voted in many years.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11886566\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11886566 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/RS51190_IMG_3345-qut-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Man in button-up shirt smiling and sitting in an office\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/RS51190_IMG_3345-qut-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/RS51190_IMG_3345-qut-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/RS51190_IMG_3345-qut-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/RS51190_IMG_3345-qut-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/RS51190_IMG_3345-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Steven Mireles, treasurer of the Imperial County Republican Central Committee, said Trump's focus on the border \"really motivated voters that hadn't voted Republican or maybe even hadn't voted in many years.\" (Guy Marzorati/KQED) \u003ccite>(Guy Marzorati/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In Imperial County, investments in U.S. Border Patrol agents and infrastructure means jobs and the potential for easier cross-border commutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have a large population of law enforcement officers in Imperial County ... immigration officers, border patrol agents,\" said Sayrs Morris, the central committee's chair. \"I think a lot of people just really were not engaged, but when they saw what Trump was doing and his policies were helping make our area secure and prosperous, they really wanted to come out and support him.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump also showed up: In 2019 he visited El Centro and Calexico, touting a newly installed section of the border wall. Local organizers said the visit allowed them to build a network of Trump voters in the lead-up to the 2020 election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"People that were present to show the support for President Trump when he arrived came up, followed up, they signed up to volunteer, and we got them more engaged,\" said Daniel Flores, a local GOP activist. \"So subsequent to that, when we held the rallies for President Trump, we had great turnout.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The result was Trump winning 36% of the vote, after carrying just 26% of the county in 2016, far behind the 67% that Hillary Clinton garnered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The gains made by Trump in Imperial County mirrored the extreme swings toward the former president in communities along the Mexican border in Texas — and shifts in \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2021/07/11/1014967344/latino-voters-are-leaving-the-democratic-party\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Latino communities across the country\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Where the Republican Party did invest, there were some shifts and that included some minority voters,\" said Sonja Diaz, founding director of the UCLA Latino Policy and Politics Initiative. \"That does not necessitate that Latinos ... are somehow more Republican than they ever have been. But it provides this really clear and explicit recognition that in order to engage them, you have to actually invest in them.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The pandemic and recession also allowed Trump to pivot from the tenor of his first campaign, which, said Diaz, \"was frankly anti-Latino.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the short term, Diaz argues that none of the voting shifts among Latinos in California were alarming. Instead, Trump had nowhere to go but up after the trouncing he took among Latino voters in 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite his gains in Imperial County, Trump still sat 10 points behind where George W. Bush finished 2004, when he won 46% of the county in his reelection campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>A progressive message 'doesn't click'\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Still, some see legs in last year's shift of Latino voters away from the Democratic party and believe that 2016 may have been the nadir of the California Republican party's relationship with Latino voters — a plummet that began with the GOP's embrace of the anti-immigrant Proposition 187 in 1994.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Take Proposition 16, a measure on last year's ballot that would have ended the state's ban on affirmative action. Nearly every statewide Democratic official got behind the campaign, and supporters said it would open doors for Latinos in higher education and government procurement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in Imperial County, and the state as a whole, it lost by 15 points.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Voters in predominately Latino border communities \"are closer to their religious organizations and they see themselves as more conservative,\" said Luis Alvarado, a Republican consultant. \"So the progressive message doesn't click with them.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11886564\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11886564 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/RS51191_IMG_3342-qut-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Man in white shirt, sunglasses and blue cap in front of wall-size sign with red Xes over pictures of Kamala Harris and others \" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/RS51191_IMG_3342-qut-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/RS51191_IMG_3342-qut-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/RS51191_IMG_3342-qut-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/RS51191_IMG_3342-qut-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/RS51191_IMG_3342-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Danny Ramirez, a Calexico Democrat, said on social issues, local Democrats \"are more Republican than they think.\" (Guy Marzorati/KQED) \u003ccite>(Guy Marzorati/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Danny Ramirez, a Democrat living in Calexico, said his socially conservative views have made him a reliable voter for Republican candidates.

A \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbsnews.com/news/california-vaccinated-say-unvaccinated-add-risk-opinion-poll/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CBS News poll\u003c/a> found likely Latino voters split 50% to 50% on the ballot's first question (\"'Shall GAVIN NEWSOM be recalled (removed) from the office of Governor?'

But the first is this: \"Laws he endorsed favor foreign nationals, in our country illegally, over that of our own citizens.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's not about COVID, it's not about stealing money,\" said Ureña. \"The proponents of this measure think that Governor Newsom is helping [undocumented] immigrants too much and all of this racist rhetoric ... is coming out.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the delivery of the message is important, too, said Ureña. A progressive vision can win in Imperial County in the recall election and beyond, he said, \"but the cultural representation just needs to be there. Things need to be bilingual.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Governor Newsom has been attentive to the needs of Latinos and low-income people across the state: protecting us, sending us the stimulus checks and things of that nature,\" he said. \"It's just a matter of, again, communication, getting into our homes and genuinely visiting our communities.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Voting 'last thing' on many residents' minds\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Language access and economic anxieties contribute to the Democrats' greatest short-term hurdle in heavily Latino communities like the Imperial Valley: getting voters to register and cast ballots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Biden added fewer than 2,000 votes to Hillary Clinton's 2016 total, while Trump added 8,000. Despite the overall increase in turnout, Imperial County ranked last in the state in the share of registered voters who cast ballots, for the second consecutive general election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you're a parent and you're not fluent with English and you have to work more than 40 hours a week, the last thing that's going to be on your mind is 'how do I register to vote?',\" said Yomar Aguilar, a member of Valle Vota, a nonpartisan group working to boost voter engagement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, while he was still in high school, Aguilar joined dozens of Valle Vota organizers who canvased neighborhoods to encourage residents to vote and created voter guides with information on statewide ballot measures and local candidates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11886565\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11886565 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/RS51192_IMG_3348-qut-800x578.jpg\" alt=\"Young man smiling in sunglasses and red polo shirt\" width=\"800\" height=\"578\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/RS51192_IMG_3348-qut-800x578.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/RS51192_IMG_3348-qut-1020x736.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/RS51192_IMG_3348-qut-160x116.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/RS51192_IMG_3348-qut-1536x1109.jpg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/08/RS51192_IMG_3348-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Yomar Aguilar, of El Centro, worked to register and turn out voters as a high school student in 2020: \"It was no easy feat.\" (Guy Marzorati/KQED) \u003ccite>(Guy Marzorati/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The recall election, taking place earlier than expected and outside of a normal election year, has left groups like Valle Vota scrambling to catch up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're a little bit slower this time around, but we're definitely getting some [social media] posts rolling out,\" said Aguilar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ureña sees a model for boosting turnout in the \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/health/coronavirus/2021/08/imperial-county-vaccination-rate/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">local distribution of COVID-19 vaccines\u003c/a>.

Gavin Newsom in the state's September 14 recall election. Early polls on the recall show evidence of a depressed Democratic turnout and lukewarm support for Newsom among California Latinos — two factors that could result in the governor's removal from office, although early tabulations of ballots returned so far indicate growing Democratic engagement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Right now in Imperial County, Ureña said, \"most people don't even know what the recall is about.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>'No. 1 in all the bad things'\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Imperial County stretches from the canyons east of San Diego to the Arizona border.

But it provides this really clear and explicit recognition that in order to engage them, you have to actually invest in them.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The pandemic and recession also allowed Trump to pivot from the tenor of his first campaign, which, said Diaz, \"was frankly anti-Latino.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the short term, Diaz argues that none of the voting shifts among Latinos in California were alarming. Instead, Trump had nowhere to go but up after the trouncing he took among Latino voters in 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite his gains in Imperial County, Trump still sat 10 points behind where George W.

Gray Davis and replaced him with a Republican movie star: Arnold Schwarzenegger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since his reelection in 2006, no Republican has won statewide office in California, a slump the state GOP hopes to break in next month's gubernatorial recall election.[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Sam Blakeslee, former state assemblyman\"]'A lot of Republicans were aghast and deeply confused because they literally thought they had voted for and had one type of governor at the top of the ticket and woke up the next day and found out he was someone altogether different.'[/pullquote]Yet a review of Schwarzenegger's two-term record is decidedly mixed when it comes to both Republican power and priorities. Since his recall win in 2003, the GOP's share of the electorate has shrunk from 35% to 24%, and Democrats now control a supermajority of the state Legislature. Meanwhile, some of Schwarzenegger's signature policy achievements — including on climate change and political reform — remain unpopular with many Republicans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But at the beginning, says former Schwarzenegger communications director Rob Stutzman, even those who hadn't voted for the movie star were excited.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>\"\u003c/b>I wouldn't say the Republican party completely coalesced around him [during the recall campaign],\" Stutzman said. \"But Schwarzenegger captured the imagination — even beyond Republicans — of the potential of him. And once he was governor, the party did consolidate around him for quite a while.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It wasn't just Davis’s unpopularity or Schwarzenegger’s Hollywood status that propelled the actor and former pro bodybuilder to victory in 2003. Schwarzenegger capitalized on his position as an outsider — promising to blow up boxes and upend business as usual in Sacramento. He pledged to repeal the so-called car tax and balance the state’s budget, but not raise other taxes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Looking back, though, political insiders say the excitement was palpable among the broader political community when Schwarzenegger first arrived in Sacramento.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's kind of hard to imagine the enthusiasm that everyone felt having someone like Gov. Schwarzenegger, the Terminator, show up and claim he was going to fix the state, he was going to clean house and he was going to restructure government so it worked more like a business,\" recalled Sam Blakeslee, a Republican elected to the Assembly shortly after Schwarzenegger took office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Blakeslee, who eventually became the Assembly Republican leader before being elected to the state Senate, says it wasn’t just Republicans who were optimistic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I remember talking to lobbyists and fellow Republicans, even Democrats, who were genuinely excited to see what he could get done,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But governing is different from campaigning, and Schwarzenegger soon found himself faced with a massive budget deficit, in part because he repealed that car tax.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his first year, Schwarzenegger had political wind at his back, and managed to convince voters to borrow $15 billion to close the spending gap. But one year later, his effort to go around the state Legislature with another series of ballot measures was crushed by organized labor, which unleashed a ferocious opposition campaign. Voters resoundingly rejected Schwarzenegger's package that, among other things, would have curbed state spending and weakened public employee unions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After losing that ballot fight, Schwarzenegger brought more powerful, experienced Democrats into his administration — \u003ca href=\"https://capitolweekly.net/schwarzenegger-picks-key-davis-aide-susan-kennedy-as-new-chief-of-staff-sparking-anger-among-some-republicans/\">including a new chief of staff\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Well, that was the point when a lot of Republicans broke with Schwarzenegger,\" said Blakeslee, who noted that the former governor didn't just have Democratic advisers — he actually listened to them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Arnold embraced their perspective,\" he said. \"And a lot of Republicans were aghast and deeply confused because they literally thought they had voted for and had one type of governor at the top of the ticket and woke up the next day and found out he was someone altogether different.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Budget fights with both parties in the state Legislature would color Schwarzenegger’s entire tenure —but another former Republican Assembly leader during that time, Connie Conway, said she saw his willingness to listen to all sides as one of his major strengths.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Conway credits Schwarzenegger for raising up the voices of minority Republicans during budget negotiations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I always appreciated the fact that I feel that Gov. Schwarzenegger was inclusive. Everybody's opinion did matter ... It's part of his DNA,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But things got a lot more complicated between the governor and the GOP near the end of his first term. Months before he won reelection, Schwarzenegger signed Assembly Bill 32, California's landmark climate change bill, which was passed largely on party lines and set the stage for the state's cap and trade program. It remains deeply controversial among Republicans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"recall-election\"]Still, Blakeslee notes that Schwarzenegger was able to get some GOP lawmakers on board with other carbon-reduction legislation. He calls the issue one of Schwarzenegger's \"chief achievements.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And he actually created a space where there could be moderate Republicans who could bring forward reforms or proposals to improve the environment,\" he said. \"He actually did a pretty good job of keeping a cohort of moderate Republicans in a position where they could work with him because he did take their input.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it was what happened after Schwarzenegger won reelection in 2006 that angered GOP stalwarts the most, says Stutzman, his former communications director: He reneged on a campaign promise not to raise taxes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He ran for reelection ... [and] promised not to raise taxes, but he did raise taxes,\" Stutzman said. \"So, yeah, at that point, I think Republicans were getting frustrated.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then there were Schwarzenegger's successful political reform efforts — achievements that may have undercut an already waning Republican party in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, in 2008, Schwarzenegger wrote a ballot measure that took legislative redistricting powers away from lawmakers and put them in the hands of an independent commission. Then, in 2010 — as he prepared to leave office — Schwarzenegger backed a ballot measure that ended party primaries in California and allowed the top two candidates to move on to the general election, leaving neither party with a guaranteed spot in the runoff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Allan Zaremberg, CEO of the California Chamber of Commerce, said the initiatives did what Schwarzenegger and other backers had wanted: They opened the door to electing more centrist politicians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether the changes were positive for the Republican Party is another question.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We, as well as the governor, were concerned about making sure that the lines were fairly drawn to represent communities of interest as opposed to, you know, 'Can you protect my seat,' which happened all the time when you had incumbents drawing the lines,\" he said. \"You want to have as many people participate in the election as possible and get the candidate who appeals to the majority of the voters.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stutzman also sees those measures as a win because they stripped power from both political parties. He said Schwarzenegger achieved other important victories, too, like reforming workers’ compensation laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"By and large, I put Arnold up there, his Republican governor record, with just about any Republican governor we've had,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As of now, he’s also the last GOP governor California has seen.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Meanwhile, some of Schwarzenegger's signature policy achievements — including on climate change and political reform — remain unpopular with many Republicans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But at the beginning, says former Schwarzenegger communications director Rob Stutzman, even those who hadn't voted for the movie star were excited.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>\"\u003c/b>I wouldn't say the Republican party completely coalesced around him [during the recall campaign],\" Stutzman said. \"But Schwarzenegger captured the imagination — even beyond Republicans — of the potential of him. And once he was governor, the party did consolidate around him for quite a while.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It wasn't just Davis’s unpopularity or Schwarzenegger’s Hollywood status that propelled the actor and former pro bodybuilder to victory in 2003. Schwarzenegger capitalized on his position as an outsider — promising to blow up boxes and upend business as usual in Sacramento. He pledged to repeal the so-called car tax and balance the state’s budget, but not raise other taxes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Schwarzenegger, the Terminator, show up and claim he was going to fix the state, he was going to clean house and he was going to restructure government so it worked more like a business,\" recalled Sam Blakeslee, a Republican elected to the Assembly shortly after Schwarzenegger took office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Blakeslee, who eventually became the Assembly Republican leader before being elected to the state Senate, says it wasn’t just Republicans who were optimistic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I remember talking to lobbyists and fellow Republicans, even Democrats, who were genuinely excited to see what he could get done,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But governing is different from campaigning, and Schwarzenegger soon found himself faced with a massive budget deficit, in part because he repealed that car tax.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his first year, Schwarzenegger had political wind at his back, and managed to convince voters to borrow $15 billion to close the spending gap. But one year later, his effort to go around the state Legislature with another series of ballot measures was crushed by organized labor, which unleashed a ferocious opposition campaign. Voters resoundingly rejected Schwarzenegger's package that, among other things, would have curbed state spending and weakened public employee unions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After losing that ballot fight, Schwarzenegger brought more powerful, experienced Democrats into his administration — \u003ca href=\"https://capitolweekly.net/schwarzenegger-picks-key-davis-aide-susan-kennedy-as-new-chief-of-staff-sparking-anger-among-some-republicans/\">including a new chief of staff\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Well, that was the point when a lot of Republicans broke with Schwarzenegger,\" said Blakeslee, who noted that the former governor didn't just have Democratic advisers — he actually listened to them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Arnold embraced their perspective,\" he said. \"And a lot of Republicans were aghast and deeply confused because they literally thought they had voted for and had one type of governor at the top of the ticket and woke up the next day and found out he was someone altogether different.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Budget fights with both parties in the state Legislature would color Schwarzenegger’s entire tenure —but another former Republican Assembly leader during that time, Connie Conway, said she saw his willingness to listen to all sides as one of his major strengths.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Conway credits Schwarzenegger for raising up the voices of minority Republicans during budget negotiations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I always appreciated the fact that I feel that Gov. Schwarzenegger was inclusive. Everybody's opinion did matter ... It's part of his DNA,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But things got a lot more complicated between the governor and the GOP near the end of his first term. Months before he won reelection, Schwarzenegger signed Assembly Bill 32, California's landmark climate change bill, which was passed largely on party lines and set the stage for the state's cap and trade program. It remains deeply controversial among Republicans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He calls the issue one of Schwarzenegger's \"chief achievements.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And he actually created a space where there could be moderate Republicans who could bring forward reforms or proposals to improve the environment,\" he said. \"He actually did a pretty good job of keeping a cohort of moderate Republicans in a position where they could work with him because he did take their input.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it was what happened after Schwarzenegger won reelection in 2006 that angered GOP stalwarts the most, says Stutzman, his former communications director: He reneged on a campaign promise not to raise taxes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He ran for reelection ... [and] promised not to raise taxes, but he did raise taxes,\" Stutzman said. \"So, yeah, at that point, I think Republicans were getting frustrated.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then there were Schwarzenegger's successful political reform efforts — achievements that may have undercut an already waning Republican party in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, in 2008, Schwarzenegger wrote a ballot measure that took legislative redistricting powers away from lawmakers and put them in the hands of an independent commission. Then, in 2010 — as he prepared to leave office — Schwarzenegger backed a ballot measure that ended party primaries in California and allowed the top two candidates to move on to the general election, leaving neither party with a guaranteed spot in the runoff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Allan Zaremberg, CEO of the California Chamber of Commerce, said the initiatives did what Schwarzenegger and other backers had wanted: They opened the door to electing more centrist politicians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether the changes were positive for the Republican Party is another question.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We, as well as the governor, were concerned about making sure that the lines were fairly drawn to represent communities of interest as opposed to, you know, 'Can you protect my seat,' which happened all the time when you had incumbents drawing the lines,\" he said. \"You want to have as many people participate in the election as possible and get the candidate who appeals to the majority of the voters.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stutzman also sees those measures as a win because they stripped power from both political parties. He said Schwarzenegger achieved other important victories, too, like reforming workers’ compensation laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"By and large, I put Arnold up there, his Republican governor record, with just about any Republican governor we've had,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

For example, some might think a \"yes\" vote means a thumbs-up for Newsom (as in \"yes, I support him\"). It doesn't.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you accidentally mark the wrong box, we have \u003ca href=\"#mistake\">advice on how to address that mistake on your ballot\u003c/a> below.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>'I don't want to recall Newsom.

Question 2 has a list of 46 candidates who could succeed Newsom if he \u003cem>is\u003c/em> recalled. You can choose one, even if you voted \"no\" on the recall itself in Question 1.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Why would you want to choose a potential replacement for Newsom, if you don't want him to be recalled? If Newsom is recalled, your choice of candidate will still count toward who replaces him as governor. And answering Question 2 by choosing a succession candidate doesn't affect or invalidate a \"no\" answer to Question 1 about the recall itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In short, by voting on Question 2, you'll have a say in who California's next governor is if Newsom were to be recalled, even if you vote against the recall. But if you leave Question 2 blank, you won't have that say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11882472\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 2560px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11882472\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/07/GettyImages-1311148803-scaled-1.jpeg\" alt=\"Gov.

California's then Lt. Governor Cruz Bustamante filed as a replacement candidate on that ballot, with the message \"Vote 'No' on the recall and 'Yes' on Bustamante.\" He was beaten by Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger anyway, who served as California governor until 2011. \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11870960/should-a-democrat-run-in-the-newsom-recall-we-asked-cruz-bustamante\">Read more about the 2003 Cruz Bustamante situation.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This time around, there's been a lot more, I would say, discipline among the Democratic Party leaders to keep anybody from doing the same thing that Cruz Bustamante did,\" says Alexander. \"And so as a result, you have a very high-powered campaign supporting the retention of Gov. Newsom that is being supported by the Democratic Party, that is very vocal in urging people to vote 'no' on the recall, but then is completely silent on the question of what to do with the replacement choice.\" That silence, says Alexander, is \"contributing to voter confusion.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Knowing all this, if you don't want Newsom to be recalled, what \u003cem>should\u003c/em> you do with Question 2 on your ballot?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's entirely up to you — but if you want a say in choosing your next California governor if Newsom is recalled, the only way to do so is by picking an official replacement candidate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11841798\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11841798\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/RS45270_008_KQED_ElectionStockPhotos_TikaHall_10062020-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/RS45270_008_KQED_ElectionStockPhotos_TikaHall_10062020-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/RS45270_008_KQED_ElectionStockPhotos_TikaHall_10062020-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/RS45270_008_KQED_ElectionStockPhotos_TikaHall_10062020-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/RS45270_008_KQED_ElectionStockPhotos_TikaHall_10062020-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/RS45270_008_KQED_ElectionStockPhotos_TikaHall_10062020-qut-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A San Francisco resident drops their mail-in ballot into a mailbox on Oct. 6, 2020. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>\u003ca id=\"mistake\">\u003c/a>How to fix a mistake on your ballot\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>It's important to note that each county is \u003cem>slightly\u003c/em> different on how they'd prefer you to address a mistake on your ballot, and will often provide specific details about corrections \u003cem>on\u003c/em> the ballot itself. If you have a specific question about your ballot that isn't answered here, you can always \u003ca href=\"#contact\">contact your local registrar of voters for advice and instructions.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>'What if I have problems with my signature?'\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When you're done filling out your ballot, you must sign the envelope.

If you registered to vote at a young age, maybe your signature has changed over time. Or perhaps you registered to vote at the DMV and provided your signature on a screen with a stylus, which doesn't quite replicate how you'd make your signature with a pen on paper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you registered this way, one simple way to avoid any signature problems is to take a quick glance at the signature that's on your driver's license or state I.D. — because that's the one you want your ballot signature to match.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if you didn't register at the DMV, that signature on your most recent license or state I.D. is still very likely the one to emulate. That's because when you register to vote online, your county elections office electronically requests a copy of the signature the DMV \u003cem>currently\u003c/em> has for you, and this information is regularly updated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To further set your mind at rest, know that California isn't an \"exact match\" state, and doesn't demand voters' signatures 100% replicate the signature that's on file.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>'What if I just don't know my 'correct' signature I'm registered to vote with?'\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you're \u003cem>really\u003c/em> worried about the signature on your envelope not matching the signature you're registered to vote with, there are two good solutions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One: If it's before Aug. 30, you can \u003ca href=\"https://registertovote.ca.gov/\">re-register to vote with your current signature\u003c/a>, to be sure that the state now has your most recent one on file. If you are re-registering after Aug. 30, you'd need to complete the \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voter-registration/same-day-reg/\">same-day voter registration\u003c/a> process (aka conditional voting) and request your ballot in person at your county elections office or polling location.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other solution if you're worried about your signature, says Kim Alexander? Go vote in person, if you're able.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's because the signature only goes on your ballot's \u003cem>envelope\u003c/em> — and if you're voting in person, there's no envelope, because that ballot then goes straight into the ballot box without needing that envelope at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So if you want that satisfaction of seeing your ballot drop in the box and know that it's not going to get held up because of some signature issue, you can go and vote in person,\" says Alexander.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>'I already mailed my ballot but now I'm paranoid about my signature. What if I messed it up?'\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rest assured: There's a whole system in place to help you correct your mistake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If your county's election office detects a signature mismatch on your ballot, they'll reach out to you via mail to verify and work with you to correct it, so that your ballot can be counted after all. It's called curing a ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This system is also applied when it looks like a member of a voter's family might have signed their ballot, instead of the voter.

Some counties, like Alameda, ask that you actually contact them first if you make a serious mistake — including voting for the wrong candidate — so they can send you a replacement ballot. So, wherever you live, it's a good idea to check with your local elections office first to see what \u003cem>they\u003c/em> recommend if you made a mistake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And remember, there's always this option ...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>'What if I just want a new ballot?'\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you've made a big mistake on your ballot — too big to fix — your best plan of action may be to focus on getting a fresh new one.

What should I do?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>If you're worried that your ballot hasn't arrived yet, that's probably a reasonable concern, since the deadline for counties to send out ballots was Aug. 16. But if you're in this situation, don't panic: You have options. Here's what to do:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Check you’re actually registered to vote — and to the right address.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://voterstatus.sos.ca.gov/\">Input your details on the Secretary of State's voter status page\u003c/a> to check your registration status. This will show whether you're actually registered to vote, and to which address. It should also show whether your ballot was mailed out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can also use \u003ca href=\"https://california.ballottrax.net/voter/\">the Where's My Ballot tool\u003c/a> to check whether your ballot has been sent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>If you're registered to the wrong address, you can update it before Aug. 30. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you update your voter registration and address using \u003ca href=\"https://voterstatus.sos.ca.gov/\">the Secretary of State's voter status page\u003c/a> before the Aug. 30 deadline to register online, you county will cancel the ballot that went to your old address and send you a new one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And if it turns out your ballot \u003ci>was \u003c/i>missing because your voter registration wasn't updated, don't feel bad — people move all the time and forget to update their registration accordingly. Kim Alexander also reminds you that updating your address at the post office doesn't in fact update your voter registration. The DMV, on the other hand, \u003cem>will\u003c/em> update your voter registration details if you update your address with them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>If your voter registration address was correct but your ballot never showed up, you still have options.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If it's more than six days before Election Day (Sept. 14), you can \u003ca href=\"#contact\">call your county elections office \u003c/a>ask them to send a new ballot. \u003ca href=\"#contact\">Find your county elections office in our contact list. \u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Your county election office won't mail you a ballot six days or less before Election Day, because it can't be sure it'll reach you in time. So if you're trying to get a ballot in the immediate run-up to Election Day, go to your county elections office in person and request one at the counter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Your county elections office is also now open for early voting through Sept. 14, so you could also go there in person during opening hours and vote right there at the counter. More early voting locations will be opening soon in early September.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And remember, if you're \u003cem>not\u003c/em> actually registered to vote, you always have the option of \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voter-registration/same-day-reg\">same-day voter registration\u003c/a>, aka conditional voter registration, at a voting location, where you can then fill out and submit your ballot, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003ca id=\"contact\">\u003c/a>Contact your county directly\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Across the Bay Area, elections officials are encouraging voters to reach out — early — with any questions or concerns.

California's then Lt.

If you have a specific question about your ballot that isn't answered here, you can always \u003ca href=\"#contact\">contact your local registrar of voters for advice and instructions.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>'What if I have problems with my signature?'\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When you're done filling out your ballot, you must sign the envelope.

If you registered to vote at a young age, maybe your signature has changed over time. Or perhaps you registered to vote at the DMV and provided your signature on a screen with a stylus, which doesn't quite replicate how you'd make your signature with a pen on paper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you registered this way, one simple way to avoid any signature problems is to take a quick glance at the signature that's on your driver's license or state I.D. — because that's the one you want your ballot signature to match.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if you didn't register at the DMV, that signature on your most recent license or state I.D. is still very likely the one to emulate. That's because when you register to vote online, your county elections office electronically requests a copy of the signature the DMV \u003cem>currently\u003c/em> has for you, and this information is regularly updated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To further set your mind at rest, know that California isn't an \"exact match\" state, and doesn't demand voters' signatures 100% replicate the signature that's on file.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>'What if I just don't know my 'correct' signature I'm registered to vote with?'\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you're \u003cem>really\u003c/em> worried about the signature on your envelope not matching the signature you're registered to vote with, there are two good solutions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One: If it's before Aug. 30, you can \u003ca href=\"https://registertovote.ca.gov/\">re-register to vote with your current signature\u003c/a>, to be sure that the state now has your most recent one on file. If you are re-registering after Aug. 30, you'd need to complete the \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voter-registration/same-day-reg/\">same-day voter registration\u003c/a> process (aka conditional voting) and request your ballot in person at your county elections office or polling location.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other solution if you're worried about your signature, says Kim Alexander? Go vote in person, if you're able.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's because the signature only goes on your ballot's \u003cem>envelope\u003c/em> — and if you're voting in person, there's no envelope, because that ballot then goes straight into the ballot box without needing that envelope at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So if you want that satisfaction of seeing your ballot drop in the box and know that it's not going to get held up because of some signature issue, you can go and vote in person,\" says Alexander.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>'I already mailed my ballot but now I'm paranoid about my signature. What if I messed it up?'\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rest assured: There's a whole system in place to help you correct your mistake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If your county's election office detects a signature mismatch on your ballot, they'll reach out to you via mail to verify and work with you to correct it, so that your ballot can be counted after all.

If that means that your corrections on your ballot have resulted in readability issues, officials working in teams of two will actually remake it for you according to the intent you've signaled with your corrections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That said, because there are only two questions on your recall ballot, you should be extra-concerned with getting them right. Some counties, like Alameda, ask that you actually contact them first if you make a serious mistake — including voting for the wrong candidate — so they can send you a replacement ballot. So, wherever you live, it's a good idea to check with your local elections office first to see what \u003cem>they\u003c/em> recommend if you made a mistake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And remember, there's always this option ...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>'What if I just want a new ballot?'\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you've made a big mistake on your ballot — too big to fix — your best plan of action may be to focus on getting a fresh new one.

Here's what to do:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Check you’re actually registered to vote — and to the right address.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://voterstatus.sos.ca.gov/\">Input your details on the Secretary of State's voter status page\u003c/a> to check your registration status. This will show whether you're actually registered to vote, and to which address. It should also show whether your ballot was mailed out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can also use \u003ca href=\"https://california.ballottrax.net/voter/\">the Where's My Ballot tool\u003c/a> to check whether your ballot has been sent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>If you're registered to the wrong address, you can update it before Aug. 30. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you update your voter registration and address using \u003ca href=\"https://voterstatus.sos.ca.gov/\">the Secretary of State's voter status page\u003c/a> before the Aug. 30 deadline to register online, you county will cancel the ballot that went to your old address and send you a new one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And if it turns out your ballot \u003ci>was \u003c/i>missing because your voter registration wasn't updated, don't feel bad — people move all the time and forget to update their registration accordingly. Kim Alexander also reminds you that updating your address at the post office doesn't in fact update your voter registration. The DMV, on the other hand, \u003cem>will\u003c/em> update your voter registration details if you update your address with them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>If your voter registration address was correct but your ballot never showed up, you still have options.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If it's more than six days before Election Day (Sept. 14), you can \u003ca href=\"#contact\">call your county elections office \u003c/a>ask them to send a new ballot. \u003ca href=\"#contact\">Find your county elections office in our contact list. \u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Your county election office won't mail you a ballot six days or less before Election Day, because it can't be sure it'll reach you in time. So if you're trying to get a ballot in the immediate run-up to Election Day, go to your county elections office in person and request one at the counter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Your county elections office is also now open for early voting through Sept. 14, so you could also go there in person during opening hours and vote right there at the counter. More early voting locations will be opening soon in early September.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And remember, if you're \u003cem>not\u003c/em> actually registered to vote, you always have the option of \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voter-registration/same-day-reg\">same-day voter registration\u003c/a>, aka conditional voter registration, at a voting location, where you can then fill out and submit your ballot, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
