Two other counties, San Mateo and Sonoma, say they’ve processed fewer than 10,000 ballots since election night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the other end of the spectrum, Santa Clara County processed twice the number of votes Alameda County did on election night — 468,395 versus 233,246.

Proposition 36, which the Associated Press called just before 9 p.m. Tuesday night, will reverse key parts of a decade-old voter initiative that reduced penalties for drug possession and low-level thefts and diverted thousands of people from prison. As of Wednesday afternoon, more than 70% of votes counted were in favor of the measure, with just over half of total votes counted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proposition 36 came largely in response to concerns over retail theft and the fentanyl crisis, despite Gov. Gavin Newsom’s efforts to convince Californians the problems could be handled without rolling back Proposition 47, the 2014 law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Proposition 3: Same-sex marriage\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A constitutional amendment to protect the right of same-sex couples to marry also succeeded, garnering \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/elections/results/california/proposition-3\">61% of votes counted as of Wednesday afternoon\u003c/a>. Proposition 3 will remove language defining marriage as “between a man and a woman” that was placed in the state constitution after voters passed Proposition 8 in 2008.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The measure will also add language declaring marriage “a fundamental right.” In practice, same-sex marriages have been legal in California since 2013, when a U.S. Supreme Court ruling allowed them to resume. However, California Democratic lawmakers put this measure on the ballot to protect against possible federal changes to marriage protections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Proposition 35: Medi-Cal funding\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A third winning measure is Proposition 35, which will \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12012604/voters-approve-prop-35-choosing-medi-cal-funding-over-budget-flexibility\">shore up funding for Medi-Cal\u003c/a>, the public insurance program for lower-income Californians. The measure, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/elections/results/california/proposition-35\">which had 67% support as of early Wednesday afternoon\u003c/a>, will make a tax on health insurance companies permanent and prevent lawmakers from using the tax revenue to replace existing state Medi-Cal spending.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12013483]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, more than 14 million Californians — about a third of the state population — use Medi-Cal. However, with California’s reimbursement rate well below the national average, many providers won’t treat Medi-Cal patients. The measure is projected to generate more than $35 billion over the next four years. It’s backed by doctors, hospitals and clinics that want the money to go toward increased payments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Proposition 4: Funding climate projects\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Voters also approved a $10 billion bond measure to fund projects to help California prepare for the impacts of climate change. Proposition 4, which the Associated Press called late Wednesday morning, had the support of nearly 58% of voters, with just over half of all votes counted. The measure would improve water infrastructure such as reservoirs and groundwater storage; increase coastal resiliency and flood prevention; and address extreme heat and wildfire prevention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At least 40% of the funds must go to projects that benefit disadvantaged communities. If California does not take steps like this, the price tag for coping with climate impacts could cost $113 billion annually by 2050, according to a state analysis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All four measures that succeeded were popular across the state, according to Mark Baldassare, survey director at the nonpartisan Public Policy Institute of California. Proposition 36, the criminal justice measure, he noted, was showing particularly broad-based support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s one of those rare circumstances where it’s passing in every county. There are not many times where you see that kind of consensus about changing criminal policy,” Baldassare said. “The right to marriage equality, Proposition 3, also had very strong support but with more divisions across the state.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Proposition 2: School repairs\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proposition 2, another $10 billion bond measure that will empower the state to borrow funds to repair and upgrade aging schools, was also approved by voters.

Proposition 36, which the Associated Press called just before 9 p.m. Tuesday night, will reverse key parts of a decade-old voter initiative that reduced penalties for drug possession and low-level thefts and diverted thousands of people from prison. As of Wednesday afternoon, more than 70% of votes counted were in favor of the measure, with just over half of total votes counted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proposition 36 came largely in response to concerns over retail theft and the fentanyl crisis, despite Gov.

At a particularly tumultuous time for the city’s schools, the seven-person board appears likely to have four fresh faces come January.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/san-francisco-unified-school-district\">San Francisco Unified School District\u003c/a> reels from a botched school closure plan, the resignations of both the former board president and district superintendent, and an ongoing budget crisis, newcomers holding the majority of Board of Education seats could bring around big changes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most notable will be how the board chooses to handle school closures and mergers, which SFUSD’s leadership said were necessary to balance resources, but the outgoing board didn’t seem to have an appetite for after a poorly executed roll-out. The plan \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12011347/sf-schools-wont-close-yet-but-the-city-still-has-questions-about-huge-budget-cuts\">is now on ice\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, three of the four leading candidates as of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/elections/results/sanfrancisco/school#board-of-education\">latest update from city elections officials\u003c/a>, released Thursday afternoon, have indicated that closures need to be on the table as SFUSD prepares to announce massive budget cuts in December.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jaime Huling, who is almost guaranteed to win one of four available seats after taking a strong lead in first-choice votes, hasn’t shared her stance on future school closures, though she has been a vocal opponent of former Superintendent Matt Wayne’s proposal and the board’s handling of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/jaimenina/status/1854079175864582426\">post on social media platform X\u003c/a> after polls closed Tuesday, she said, “I will always fight to protect our immigrant communities, trans kids, freedom of speech, and funding for education.

It has successfully positioned itself as a hub for biotech and as an outpost for many tech companies and advanced manufacturers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in recent years, the city has also grappled with a lack of affordable homes for low-income families, failing to get close to state housing goals while real estate prices have generally increased, worsening a region-wide affordability crisis. Fremont has also seen a steep increase in homelessness over the last several years. Coupled with leaner budgets, the next mayor of Fremont will have plenty of opportunities and challenges facing them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fremont has also experienced serious scandals in recent years, with the family of Fremont police Capt. Fred Bobbitt, who died by suicide while on the force, sued the city for wrongful death.

I think I’m meant to do this,” he said. “So hopefully, I can get everybody on the same page, and hopefully, we get the support of the community, and we can do a lot of good things.

When tears overtook her, 5-year-old daughter Lucia crawled into her lap, offering the kind of comfort that \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/kamala-harris\">Kamala Harris\u003c/a> supporters across the Bay Area ached for on election night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I told Lucia ‘everything would be all right,’ I was lying,” Brooks admits, her voice catching. She says that Lucia was captivated by the historical possibilities of this election. When Brooks explained that a woman had never been president before, her daughter’s disbelief reflected the hopes of many who saw Harris’ candidacy as a chance to finally shatter the highest glass ceiling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12013186/san-franciscans-react-trumps-win\">defeat crystallized into reality\u003c/a>, progressive mothers across the region not only mourned the unrealized prospect of a female president — they also confronted their growing fears that Trump will deliver on campaign promises to accelerate deportations, roll back environmental protections amid a climate crisis, and potentially dismantle LGBTQ+ rights. Now, on top of explaining an election loss, parents must also translate what they view as an existential threat to their communities’ core values.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gail Cornwall, who is raising five children in a blended San Francisco family, finds herself grappling with how Harris’ loss sends a gut-punching message to her daughters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“With Hillary’s run, I felt like the prevailing message to girls was, ‘You can be president one day,’” Cornwall says. “Now, they are hearing, ‘You can try to be president, but you’ll never win, no matter how knowledgeable, or experienced, or hardworking or charismatic you are.'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Live 2024 Election Results\" link1='https://www.kqed.org/elections/results/president,Follow the results of the U.S. Presidential Election' hero=https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/80/2024/10/Aside-Results-Presidential-2024-General-Election-1200x1200-1.png]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cornwall admits she’s walking a tricky line with her children. “I want the kids to know they’re safe, and not much will likely change in their lives, but also to recognize what a privilege that is,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She’s trying to help them grasp that other children’s lives will change dramatically and that their family has a responsibility to “help minimize the impact of a Trump presidency on marginalized communities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Christina Balch, a Berkeley educator and mother of a 6-year-old, carries a double burden: “What do I tell my high school students? How do I guide my son?” She’s terrified to raise a boy in an environment where divisive “xenophobic, toxic, sexist” rhetoric may become increasingly normalized. “Everything I stand for as an anti-racist, feminist, ally and educator feels under threat,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps no one embodies this complex dance between fear and determination more than Kathie Moehlig, mother of a 24-year-old transgender son. Her initial spiral into shock and defeat gave way to a middle-of-the-night revelation: Her son needs her now more than ever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When my son transitioned 13 years ago, most people didn’t even know what that word meant. Now that is not the case,” Moehlig says, finding hope in the progress already made while acknowledging the battles ahead. “This new government hates transgender kids like mine.

When tears overtook her, 5-year-old daughter Lucia crawled into her lap, offering the kind of comfort that \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/kamala-harris\">Kamala Harris\u003c/a> supporters across the Bay Area ached for on election night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I told Lucia ‘everything would be all right,’ I was lying,” Brooks admits, her voice catching. She says that Lucia was captivated by the historical possibilities of this election. When Brooks explained that a woman had never been president before, her daughter’s disbelief reflected the hopes of many who saw Harris’ candidacy as a chance to finally shatter the highest glass ceiling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12013186/san-franciscans-react-trumps-win\">defeat crystallized into reality\u003c/a>, progressive mothers across the region not only mourned the unrealized prospect of a female president — they also confronted their growing fears that Trump will deliver on campaign promises to accelerate deportations, roll back environmental protections amid a climate crisis, and potentially dismantle LGBTQ+ rights. Now, on top of explaining an election loss, parents must also translate what they view as an existential threat to their communities’ core values.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Liccardo argued the ad was clearly intended to promote Low’s run for the House, a violation of federal election law.[aside label='More Election Coverage' tag='election-2024']Low and his allies hit back, calling Liccardo a “defunder” of the San José Police Department (police staffing declined while Liccardo was on the City Council but increased during his two terms as mayor) and initially questioning the veracity of a laryngitis diagnosis that prompted \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12007347/former-san-jose-mayor-sam-liccardo-drops-out-of-congressional-debate\">Liccardo to postpone the only broadcast debate\u003c/a> of the election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fighting \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12009103/silicon-valley-house-candidates-sam-liccardo-evan-low-spar-in-congressional-debate\">came to a head at an early October debate\u003c/a> in San José, in which Low and Liccardo exchanged broadsides before a live TV and radio audience and revealed a few areas of disagreement on policy. Liccardo said he supports Proposition 36, the statewide ballot measure allowing prosecutors to seek \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12011368/tough-on-crime-initiative-divides-south-bay-democratic-candidates\">tougher sentences for repeat offenders charged with theft and drug possession\u003c/a>, which Low opposes.
