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.",

"content": "\u003cp>California Sen. Kamala Harris and Vice President Mike Pence (and one pesky fly) shared the vice presidential debate stage on Wednesday night in Salt Lake City, Utah — trading barbs in a 90-minute debate moderated by Susan Page of USA Today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris made her debut on the national debate stage last year, during her run for the Democratic presidential nomination. But her task on Wednesday night was different, as she honed attacks on the Trump administration and sought to bridge divides between her own record and Joe Biden’s platform.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are four takeaways from her performance:\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Starting Out on Offense\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Last week’s presidential debate between President Trump and Biden began with questions about the pending confirmation of Supreme Court nominee Judge Amy Coney Barrett. But after the president contracted the coronavirus and was hospitalized over the weekend, there was little doubt that Wednesday night’s debate would start with a focus on the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris was ready. She tapped into the prosecutorial form that has garnered her acclaim during her time in the Senate, and calmly laid out the case against the Trump administration’s response.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The American people have witnessed what is the greatest failure of any presidential administration in the history of our country,” Harris said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/NewsHour/status/1314011540560007169?s=20\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>No Answer on ‘Court Packing’\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>If Biden and Harris have made a decision on whether to increase the size of the Supreme Court if Democrats run the table, they’re keeping it close to the vest. When Pence pressed for her position on “court packing,” Harris veered uneasily between a history of judicial confirmations close to elections, an attack on Barrett’s nomination process and an examination of Trump’s lower court appointments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/NewsHour/status/1314031247308587008?s=20\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given that Biden was forced to perform similar rhetorical gymnastics on the same pommel horse last week, the campaign may want to articulate a position on the issue before the next presidential debate. Or not.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Standing Up for Her Record \u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Too often in her run for the Democratic nomination, Harris was caught between touting her lifelong experience as a prosecutor, and defending her role in a criminal justice system she acknowledged was full of systemic racism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday, Harris threaded the needle.

But after the president contracted the coronavirus and was hospitalized over the weekend, there was little doubt that Wednesday night’s debate would start with a focus on the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris was ready. She tapped into the prosecutorial form that has garnered her acclaim during her time in the Senate, and calmly laid out the case against the Trump administration’s response.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The American people have witnessed what is the greatest failure of any presidential administration in the history of our country,” Harris said.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Now, state voters are being asked whether to uphold that law — \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB10\">Senate Bill 10\u003c/a> — after the bail industry gathered enough signatures to put a referendum on it on this November’s ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If passed, Proposition 25 would let SB 10 take effect — ending cash bail as a way for people accused of a crime to secure their release before a trial. But in a strange twist, some progressive civil rights groups are siding with the bail industry and law enforcement to effectively keep bail in place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They worry that the new law will result in more, not fewer, people being kept behind bars as they await trial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I can’t predict what will happen, but I can say that the system they’ve set up is going to allow for expanded incarceration and expanded pretrial supervision including electronic monitoring, all of which is going to lead to more incarceration,” said John Raphling, a researcher for Human Rights Watch in Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Raphling wants voters to reject Proposition 25. Since the ballot measure is a referendum on SB 10, which was \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11689184/gov-brown-signs-bill-ending-cash-bail-in-california\">signed by then-Gov. Jerry Brown\u003c/a> in 2018 — a “yes” vote will allow the legislation to take effect and a “no” vote would overturn the law. Under state law, a referendum puts a new law on hold until voters can weigh in — meaning the 2018 law never went into effect. If Proposition 25 passes, California would become the first state in the nation to completely outlaw money bail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proposition 25’s backers say Raphling and other opponents are wrong, and that the measure will actually lead to fewer people being held in jail pretrial, and make the system more fair.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John Bauters, budget advocacy director for the criminal justice reform group Californians for Safety and Justice, pointed to a study by the Public Policy Institute of California which found that the change would result in more than 142,000 people each year spending less time in jail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bauters said the new system that would be set up under Proposition 25 would ensure that people don’t lose their jobs, their homes or custody of their kids while they languish in jail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s tons of statistics and data about how people who are held pretrial are more likely to plead guilty to things they didn’t commit,” he said. “People who are released pretrial actually get a more pure form of justice.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What Does the Law Do?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The 2018 bill, SB 10, made money bail illegal in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If voters decide to uphold SB 10 by passing Proposition 25, the state would replace bail with a system that generally requires people arrested for misdemeanors to be automatically let go before trial — and for those accused of violent felonies to be kept in jail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those accused of lower-level felonies would go before a judge who could keep them in jail or put conditions on their release. Those conditions could include things like mandatory drug treatment, or a weekly probation check-in. The judge’s decision would in part be based on the results of a risk assessment tool that would essentially measure a person’s likelihood of re-offending or skipping out on court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Each county would have to adopt their own risk assessment tool.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those tools — based on algorithms that ‘learn’ more about risk profiles as more data about criminal defendants is entered into them — have become one of the flash points for those opposed to the bail law and Proposition 25.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Too Much Power for Algorithms and Judges?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Raphling, for example, warns that these risk assessment tools could be biased or misleading themselves, noting that someone’s risk of being rearrested can be as much about policing decisions and the color of their skin as that person’s actual conduct.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"John Raphling, Human Rights Watch researcher\"]‘The bail bond industry is a parasite. They are bloodsuckers. But the blood wouldn’t be available to them if it wasn’t for judges and law enforcement.’[/pullquote]What Proposition 25 does, he said, is make these algorithms “the gatekeeper” to someone’s freedom before trial. And even more concerning, he and other opponents say, is that the entire system gives judges way too much power to decide who leaves and who stays in jail before a trial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you’re low risk, then (under Prop. 25) you’re likely to get out — but the judges can always override any decision of risk assessment,” he said. “In my research, I’ve found that they overwhelmingly override in favor of locking people up … and there’s real questions about the accuracy of those (risk assessments).”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Insha Rahman, a former public defender who is now vice president of advocacy and initiatives at the Vera Institute of Justice in New York, agrees. She said there’s no reason to think that judges would behave differently because Proposition 25 still gives them the power to hold people in jail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When it comes to public safety, across the board, we tend to just use our discretion to detain. That’s what the system has historically done,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Decreasing Racial Bias?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>But Santa Barbara Probation Chief Tanja Heitman, whose county has been experimenting with alternatives to money bail, said she believes risk assessments can actually help reduce racial disparities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I will never suggest that risk assessments are perfect. They are an evolving science and they continue to improve,’ she said. “As long as there’s over-policing in communities of color, as long as there is those inherent disparities in access to health care and educational employment opportunities, there’s going to be disparities in arrest rates that are then going to impact the criminal justice system.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in Santa Barbara County, she said, she has seen the risk assessments help erase racial biases in the juvenile criminal justice system. Youths of color are 2.6 times more likely to get arrested by law enforcement than white juveniles, she said; but their release rates were identical. The disparities among races reemerged when it came to charging decisions by prosecutors, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think probation officers are just as likely to allow biases unintentionally to creep into their decision making if they don’t have an assessment tool to help guide them, if they don’t have an assessment tool to ground to them,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Related Coverage' tag='bail']While many police and prosecutors groups oppose Proposition 25, Heitman and other probation officials believe it will make communities safer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We know that money bail doesn’t make us safe, but allowing people to stay connected to their families, to continue working (while they await trial) — that’s what’s going to enable them to be successful and improve our community overall,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Raphling, however, points out that Heitman and other probation departments have an incentive to support Proposition 25: They will gain power and funding because their responsibilities will be expanded to include more pretrial defendants under the measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bail industry is funding the opposition. But Raphling said his opposition to Proposition 25 doesn’t mean he and others support that industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The bail bond industry is a parasite. They are bloodsuckers. But the blood wouldn’t be available to them if it wasn’t for judges and law enforcement,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If voters reject Proposition 25 — and with it, the 2018 law — supporters believe that state lawmakers would be prohibited from taking up the question of completely eliminating bail again, ensuring that the industry will continue to operate in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Raphling and others say the Legislature could still come up with an alternative system that would sideline the money bail industry without outlawing it altogether.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Since the ballot measure is a referendum on SB 10, which was \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11689184/gov-brown-signs-bill-ending-cash-bail-in-california\">signed by then-Gov. Jerry Brown\u003c/a> in 2018 — a “yes” vote will allow the legislation to take effect and a “no” vote would overturn the law. Under state law, a referendum puts a new law on hold until voters can weigh in — meaning the 2018 law never went into effect. If Proposition 25 passes, California would become the first state in the nation to completely outlaw money bail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proposition 25’s backers say Raphling and other opponents are wrong, and that the measure will actually lead to fewer people being held in jail pretrial, and make the system more fair.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John Bauters, budget advocacy director for the criminal justice reform group Californians for Safety and Justice, pointed to a study by the Public Policy Institute of California which found that the change would result in more than 142,000 people each year spending less time in jail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bauters said the new system that would be set up under Proposition 25 would ensure that people don’t lose their jobs, their homes or custody of their kids while they languish in jail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s tons of statistics and data about how people who are held pretrial are more likely to plead guilty to things they didn’t commit,” he said. “People who are released pretrial actually get a more pure form of justice.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What Does the Law Do?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The 2018 bill, SB 10, made money bail illegal in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If voters decide to uphold SB 10 by passing Proposition 25, the state would replace bail with a system that generally requires people arrested for misdemeanors to be automatically let go before trial — and for those accused of violent felonies to be kept in jail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those accused of lower-level felonies would go before a judge who could keep them in jail or put conditions on their release. Those conditions could include things like mandatory drug treatment, or a weekly probation check-in. The judge’s decision would in part be based on the results of a risk assessment tool that would essentially measure a person’s likelihood of re-offending or skipping out on court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Each county would have to adopt their own risk assessment tool.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those tools — based on algorithms that ‘learn’ more about risk profiles as more data about criminal defendants is entered into them — have become one of the flash points for those opposed to the bail law and Proposition 25.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Too Much Power for Algorithms and Judges?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Raphling, for example, warns that these risk assessment tools could be biased or misleading themselves, noting that someone’s risk of being rearrested can be as much about policing decisions and the color of their skin as that person’s actual conduct.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And even more concerning, he and other opponents say, is that the entire system gives judges way too much power to decide who leaves and who stays in jail before a trial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you’re low risk, then (under Prop. 25) you’re likely to get out — but the judges can always override any decision of risk assessment,” he said. “In my research, I’ve found that they overwhelmingly override in favor of locking people up … and there’s real questions about the accuracy of those (risk assessments).”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Insha Rahman, a former public defender who is now vice president of advocacy and initiatives at the Vera Institute of Justice in New York, agrees. She said there’s no reason to think that judges would behave differently because Proposition 25 still gives them the power to hold people in jail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When it comes to public safety, across the board, we tend to just use our discretion to detain. That’s what the system has historically done,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Decreasing Racial Bias?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>But Santa Barbara Probation Chief Tanja Heitman, whose county has been experimenting with alternatives to money bail, said she believes risk assessments can actually help reduce racial disparities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I will never suggest that risk assessments are perfect. They are an evolving science and they continue to improve,’ she said. “As long as there’s over-policing in communities of color, as long as there is those inherent disparities in access to health care and educational employment opportunities, there’s going to be disparities in arrest rates that are then going to impact the criminal justice system.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in Santa Barbara County, she said, she has seen the risk assessments help erase racial biases in the juvenile criminal justice system. Youths of color are 2.6 times more likely to get arrested by law enforcement than white juveniles, she said; but their release rates were identical. The disparities among races reemerged when it came to charging decisions by prosecutors, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think probation officers are just as likely to allow biases unintentionally to creep into their decision making if they don’t have an assessment tool to help guide them, if they don’t have an assessment tool to ground to them,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Kamala Harris an unusually large audience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This may be the most consequential vice presidential debate in American political history,” said Dan Schur, who teaches political science at USC and UC Berkeley. He acknowledges there’s not much competition for that title, since no VP debate in history has ever really resulted in more than memorable soundbites.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The stakes are much higher now because, without sounding ghoulish, more and more Americans are going to be wondering whether either Donald Trump or Joe Biden would be able to serve for four full years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schnur, who sat in on debate preparation for George W. Bush and Sen. John McCain, said the key is to try and plan for the unexpected, which by definition is hard to do. Former South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg is playing the part of VP Pence in debate preparation for Harris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Debate preparation, if it’s done well, is usually less about content and more about presentation,” Schnur said. “If the candidates themselves do their job right, they’re going to be familiar with the substance of the types of policy matters that they’re going to get asked about in the debate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Kamala Harris, the stakes are huge. A strong performance will help cement Joe Biden’s current advantage in the polls. If she slips up or looks shaky, it creates an opening for Trump to make her the issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Barbara O’Connor, an emeritus professor of communications at Cal State Sacramento, said Harris “has got to make herself believable and honest, answer questions and play by the rules in order to attract the suburban women that people say [have] still not made up their minds.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>O’Connor, who was a debate coach at USC, Georgetown and Cal State Sacramento, added that Harris has to debate in a way that doesn’t turn off undecided voters and suburban women. “I think coming off as an attack dog and being vicious, which she can be,” would be a mistake, O’Connor said. “We’ve all seen it. That would scare them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Suburban women are considered a key demographic Trump won in 2016 – but \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/10/01/president-trump-gets-suburbs-all-wrong/\">polls show he’s losing them now\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of Harris’s most powerful moments have been as a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, questioning Trump administration officials and Supreme Court nominees like Brett Kavanaugh. But Schnur said that prosecutorial style might not serve Harris well Wednesday night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As Barack Obama once noted, he always felt that he needed to be more restrained and less aggressive on the public stage, simply so he didn’t, in \u003ci>his\u003c/i> words, not mine, come across as an ‘angry Black man.’ And for Harris, both as a woman and a woman of color, that challenge may be even greater,” Schnur said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside link1=\"https://www.npr.org/2020/10/06/919107935/pence-and-harris-debate-wednesday-heres-what-you-need-to-know,Pence And Harris Debate Wednesday.

Loretta Sanchez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was only a few feet away and she was very much in command of her spot on the stage, let’s put it that way,” Sonenshein said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='More Election Coverage' tag='election2020']Harris’s debate performance before the presidential primaries was often uneven, with moments that went viral but also answers that seemed wooden or unnatural. It left voters wondering who she really was.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sonenshein said he hopes Harris communicates the kind of authenticity she showed on the campaign trail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She really generates a great deal of charisma and warmth and engagement. And some of that should be part of her presentation,” Sonenshein said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris will be up against a steady and calm debater in Vice President Pence.

Barbara O’Connor said Harris will be the main draw for voters who want to get a better sense of the person who could be eventually be president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Everyone’s wondering, you know, and I think people who are legitimately undecided will be watching with great interest,” O’Connor said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the two campaigns already in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/vp-debate-coronavirus-safety/2020/10/06/ee44fa00-07e7-11eb-a166-dc429b380d10_story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">disagreement\u003c/a> over the placement of plexiglass dividers at the debate came word Tuesday afternoon that Stephen Miller, one of President Trump’s top advisers and husband of Pence’s communications director, tested positive for COVID-19.

He acknowledges there’s not much competition for that title, since no VP debate in history has ever really resulted in more than memorable soundbites.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The stakes are much higher now because, without sounding ghoulish, more and more Americans are going to be wondering whether either Donald Trump or Joe Biden would be able to serve for four full years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schnur, who sat in on debate preparation for George W. Bush and Sen. John McCain, said the key is to try and plan for the unexpected, which by definition is hard to do. Former South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg is playing the part of VP Pence in debate preparation for Harris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Debate preparation, if it’s done well, is usually less about content and more about presentation,” Schnur said. “If the candidates themselves do their job right, they’re going to be familiar with the substance of the types of policy matters that they’re going to get asked about in the debate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Kamala Harris, the stakes are huge. A strong performance will help cement Joe Biden’s current advantage in the polls. If she slips up or looks shaky, it creates an opening for Trump to make her the issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And this is what this is about.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Voters overwhelmingly passed Prop. 13, but now, 42 years later, voters are being asked with Proposition 15 to undo a major loophole in that 1978 ballot measure which has allowed corporations to keep their property taxes artificially low for decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jarvis was correct that with inflation pushing the value of homes in California through the roof in the 1970s, homeowners were seeing their property tax bills increase to the point where some couldn’t keep up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People were losing their homes because of property taxes. People on fixed incomes, Social Security, who suddenly had their taxes double and triple, couldn’t afford it. And it was causing a tax rebellion,” recalls Randy Goodwin, who ran the “Yes on Prop. 13” campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jarvis capitalized on voter anger and anxiety with Prop. 13, whose passage ushered in the “tax revolt” that swept across the country and helped elect Ronald Reagan president of the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prop. 13 did indeed roll back residential property taxes, setting the tax bill at 1% of the 1976 assessed value and capping annual tax increases at 2%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the proposition did not distinguish between residential, commercial, industrial or agricultural property. So \u003cem>all\u003c/em> property in California benefited from the measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a point the late San Francisco Assemblymember Leo McCarthy made during the same KQED debate with Jarvis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Pacific Telephone would have a $130 million cut. Standard Oil, $13 million. Southern Pacific, $12 million. They didn’t ask for the cut but Mr. Jarvis was kind enough to give them to them,” said McCarthy, who was Speaker of the Assembly at the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The question is, was the windfall to corporations — which saves them billions of dollars on property taxes — a kind of “Trojan horse” benefit deliberately snuck into the measure by pro-business groups?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not according to Joel Fox, who was an assistant to Jarvis at the time and later became director of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All property was taxed the same from 1850 onward. So in writing an amendment to the Constitution on property taxes, it was just simple to maintain what was already in the Constitution,” Fox said recently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Manuel Pastor, director of the Program for Environmental and Regional Equity at University of Southern California\"]‘The question is, are we the California that passed Prop. 13?

So that tells you a lot right there. They did not support Proposition 13. They gave no money to it,” Goodwin told KQED recently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The big corporations in California had a cozy relationship with the powers that ran the state government,” Goodwin said. “And they together paid for the opposition to Proposition 13. We didn’t have Chevron. We didn’t have AT&T. We didn’t have any of those big corporations supporting Proposition 13.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The argument that business would have the same treatment as residential property was in the ballot arguments. So voters were aware of it, and they had an alternative,” said Jarvis’ former assistant Fox.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That alternative was \u003ca href=\"https://ballotpedia.org/California_Proposition_8,_Tax_Rates_on_Owner-Occupied_Dwellings_(June_1978)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Proposition 8\u003c/a>, another tax cutting measure placed on the same ballot by then-Gov. Jerry Brown and the Legislature in a futile attempt to prevent Prop. 13 from passing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prop. 13 was simply written and did not specify how it would be applied to commercial property. In fact, the implementation of Prop. 13 was left to the Legislature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wrote the implementation process after it had been passed by the voters,” said former Assemblyman Willie Brown recently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown chaired the that determined how and when commercial property would be reassessed with higher property taxes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"election-2020\" label=\"Election 2020 Coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the current rules written back then, a reassessment is only triggered when a person or legal entity acquires more than 50% of the ownership interest. Companies have used that loophole to avoid property tax increases, by selling no more that 49% to any one person or entity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a result, companies like Disneyland, Intel and Chevron are currently paying taxes based on property assessments from the 1970s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Willie Brown says now that the legislature blew it back then.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We should have said anytime there is a change in the ownership of the property through any means, that constitutes a transfer for reassessment purposes,” Brown said recently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The legislature can do that. And that’s where it ought to be done,” said Brown, who opposes Prop. 15 and has received consulting fees from the “No on 15” campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether the legislature “blew it” when it wrote the Prop. 13 implementation rules for commercial property or did it intentionally to please business interests is hard to know. One thing’s for sure: It’s much easier for lobbyists to influence legislation than ballot measures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, the Legislature \u003cem>tried\u003c/em> to revise the law to close the loophole and to reassess commercial property more often.

The bill died in committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prop. 15 would require that commercial and industrial properties be reassessed on a regular basis, with property taxes based on current market value, rather than what the property cost when it was purchased. According to the nonpartisan \u003ca href=\"https://lao.ca.gov/ballot/2020/Prop15-110320.pdf\">Legislative Analyst,\u003c/a> the measure would send $6.5 to $11.5 billion in new revenue annually to schools and local governments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Residential and agricultural property along with commercial property worth less than $3 million would be exempted from the change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prop. 13 passed at a time when California was a much different place than it is today — more white, more conservative and less diverse.

Officials know this, she says, because the majority of those ballots that have previously been too late to count have been postmarked on the day immediately after Election Day: “which tells us that people likely put their ballots inside mailboxes that had already been picked up, or took them to post offices that had already closed for the day,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11840819\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1900px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11840819\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Photo-by-Element5-Digital-from-Pexels.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1267\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Photo-by-Element5-Digital-from-Pexels.png 1900w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Photo-by-Element5-Digital-from-Pexels-800x533.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Photo-by-Element5-Digital-from-Pexels-1020x680.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Photo-by-Element5-Digital-from-Pexels-160x107.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Photo-by-Element5-Digital-from-Pexels-1536x1024.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mailing or dropping off your ballot on time is of paramount importance. \u003ccite>(Element5 Digital/Pexels)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The issue of lateness is exactly why it’s recommended that voters return their ballots early, Alexander says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The United States Post Office recommended mailing your ballot no less than one week before Election Day — so if you’re reading this a few days before Nov. 3, and you \u003cem>haven’t\u003c/em> submitted your ballot yet, at this stage it’s recommended you submit it by hand at a drop box specifically for vote-by-mail ballots, rather than using a USPS collection box.

If you didn’t register and decide you want to vote in person, you can register via what’s called \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voter-registration/same-day-reg\">Same Day Voter Registration\u003c/a> (also known as Conditional Voter Registration.) If you’re doing this on Election Day itself, you can register and vote at the same time at your polling place — \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/polling-place\">find your voting location here.\u003c/a> The deadline to \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voter-registration/\">register online to vote\u003c/a> is October 19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you are registered to vote, ballots will be sent out in California by October 5 — so you should expect to receive your ballot by around October 15, Alexander says. This is another good reason to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11835370/wheres-my-ballot-track-your-mail-in-vote-with-new-tool#signup\">sign up to track your ballot’s progress\u003c/a>, and be reassured if it’s on the way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What if there’s no sign of your ballot? Again, Alexander says, don’t panic, because “there are a lot of fail safes in the system.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One helpful warning sign, Alexander says: “If you’re not getting anything about the election in the mail, you probably aren’t registered to vote at your current address.” \u003ca href=\"https://voterstatus.sos.ca.gov/\">Check your registration details \u003c/a>and address, and if they’re incorrect, update them ASAP before the voter registration deadline of October 19, 15 days before Election Day. Your county elections will then cancel any previous ballot mailed out so that it won’t be counted, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voter-registration/vote-mail\">send you a new ballot\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 November 3, go to your county elections office in person and request one at the counter. And remember, you always still have the option of \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voter-registration/same-day-reg\">Same Day Voter Registration\u003c/a>, a.k.a 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>What if You Use Assistive Technology to Complete Forms?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Remember, getting physical assistance with filling out your ballot from someone you trust is always fine, whether you’re voting at home or at a voting site. You just need to make sure your signature is your own, and matches the one you’re registered to vote with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Voters with disabilities can also choose to use the \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voting-resources/remote-accessible-vote-mail\">Remote Accessible Vote-By-Mail \u003c/a>system to vote privately and independently at home, using their usual assistive device on their home computer to fill out the ballot on their screen and then print and mail it. (This year, Remote Accessible Vote-By-Mail is actually available to all voters who need it, under emergency legislation passed earlier this year in light of COVID-19.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every voting location in California is also equipped with an accessible voting unit. Here, voters who are sight-impaired or have a disability that limits their dexterity will be able to use the assistive device of their choice that allows them to vote privately and independently.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Tip: Look Out For the Young Voters in Your Life\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11837810/study-finds-young-voters-more-likely-to-have-mail-ballots-rejected\">Young voters are the most likely to have their ballots rejected\u003c/a>, according to the data — and there are good reasons for that, Alexander says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most obviously, they’re newer to voting in general. But they’re also likely to be less familiar with how the U.S. Postal Service works, especially when it comes to issues like collection times and post office hours. Younger people are more likely to conduct a lot of their business online, and therefore have less familiarity with activities that require a written signature on paper, like writing checks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>\u003c/b>Younger voters, Alexander says, also get their ballots rejected more frequently than other voters due to signature mismatch. Why?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We think that’s really stemming from the fact that many of them are pre-registering to vote, or registering at a very young age before they’ve actually formed a signature,” she says — especially if they’re making that signature with a stylus while registering at the DMV.

But, Kim Alexander says, the problem isn’t usually ballots arriving too late; it’s that they’re being postmarked too late. And it’s not necessarily a case of people sending them after Election Day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The more likely problem is that some people are just sending them too late in the day \u003cem>on\u003c/em> Election Day itself, says Alexander. Officials know this, she says, because the majority of those ballots that have previously been too late to count have been postmarked on the day immediately after Election Day: “which tells us that people likely put their ballots inside mailboxes that had already been picked up, or took them to post offices that had already closed for the day,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11840819\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1900px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11840819\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Photo-by-Element5-Digital-from-Pexels.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1267\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Photo-by-Element5-Digital-from-Pexels.png 1900w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Photo-by-Element5-Digital-from-Pexels-800x533.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Photo-by-Element5-Digital-from-Pexels-1020x680.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Photo-by-Element5-Digital-from-Pexels-160x107.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Photo-by-Element5-Digital-from-Pexels-1536x1024.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mailing or dropping off your ballot on time is of paramount importance. \u003ccite>(Element5 Digital/Pexels)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The issue of lateness is exactly why it’s recommended that voters return their ballots early, Alexander says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The United States Post Office recommended mailing your ballot no less than one week before Election Day — so if you’re reading this a few days before Nov. 3, and you \u003cem>haven’t\u003c/em> submitted your ballot yet, at this stage it’s recommended you submit it by hand at a drop box specifically for vote-by-mail ballots, rather than using a USPS collection box.

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 \u003cem>quite\u003c/em> 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 itself, 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. We’ve got even\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11841547/i-made-a-mistake-on-my-ballot-how-do-i-fix-it\"> more information about signature matching here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11841492\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 580px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11841492\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Signature.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"580\" height=\"359\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Signature.png 580w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Signature-160x99.png 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The signature space on a San Francisco ballot — instructions vary county by county, so it’s important to check yours \u003ccite>(Lisa Pickoff-White/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>What if you still get it wrong?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Luckily, there’s a whole system in place to help you correct your mistake. If your county’s election office detects a signature mismatch on your ballot, they’ll reach back out to you via mail to verify and work with you to correct it, so that your ballot can be counted after all.

Counties have to contact voters at least six days before they certify their election results and give voters up until two days before they certify their election results to “cure” their signatures. And remember: \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11835370/wheres-my-ballot-track-your-mail-in-vote-with-new-tool#signup\">sign up to track your ballot\u003c/a>, and you’ll find out about any issues with your ballot or your signature quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By the way, here at KQED we’ve had several audience questions asking whether the date required on the signature section should be the date you signed your ballot, or your birthdate. It’s the first one: the date you signed it.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Don’t Mail an Empty Envelope\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Sounds unlikely, maybe, but it happens. According to The Associated Press, \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/a45421048cd89938df7c882891a97db5\">more than 800 envelopes were mailed in California’s March primary without any ballots inside\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Keeping your envelope and your ballot together in your home might be a helpful way of avoiding this problem. And of course, when you’re ready to mail your ballot, make sure it’s actually inside the envelope before you seal it.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003ca id=\"mistake\">\u003c/a>What if You Make a Mistake on Your Ballot?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>First, don’t panic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People make mistakes on ballots, and find good ways to correct them. Counties give different directions to voters about what to do if they make a mistake (remember: read the instructions!) but you can usually simply “X” out the choice you didn’t intend, Alexander says, and put in your correct choice. (\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11841547/i-made-a-mistake-on-my-ballot-how-do-i-fix-it\">More information about correcting mistakes.\u003c/a>)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Voters do all kinds of creative things with their ballots,” she says, and the job of county elections officials — once they’ve verified your signature — is to make sure your ballot can be read correctly. 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>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11840826\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Photo-by-Element5-Digital-from-Pexels-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1267\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Photo-by-Element5-Digital-from-Pexels-2.png 1900w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Photo-by-Element5-Digital-from-Pexels-2-800x533.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Photo-by-Element5-Digital-from-Pexels-2-1020x680.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Photo-by-Element5-Digital-from-Pexels-2-160x107.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Photo-by-Element5-Digital-from-Pexels-2-1536x1024.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What if you don’t feel you \u003cem>can\u003c/em> fix your mistake, or you’ve somehow damaged your ballot (or straight-up just spilled coffee on it?)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alexander says you have multiple options:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Call your county elections office and ask them to cancel that ballot and issue a new one to you\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Go to your county elections office with your spoiled ballot and vote right there at the counter during business hours\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Take advantage of the \u003ca href=\"https://caearlyvoting.sos.ca.gov/\">early voting options\u003c/a> available in many counties\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Go to a voting site on Election Day, turn in your spoiled ballot there and get a new ballot\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch3>\u003ca id=\"track\">\u003c/a>What if You Didn’t Get a Ballot at All?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>If you aren’t registered to vote in California, you won’t be sent a ballot automatically. If you didn’t register and decide you want to vote in person, you can register via what’s called \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voter-registration/same-day-reg\">Same Day Voter Registration\u003c/a> (also known as Conditional Voter Registration.) If you’re doing this on Election Day itself, you can register and vote at the same time at your polling place — \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/polling-place\">find your voting location here.\u003c/a> The deadline to \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voter-registration/\">register online to vote\u003c/a> is October 19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you are registered to vote, ballots will be sent out in California by October 5 — so you should expect to receive your ballot by around October 15, Alexander says. This is another good reason to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11835370/wheres-my-ballot-track-your-mail-in-vote-with-new-tool#signup\">sign up to track your ballot’s progress\u003c/a>, and be reassured if it’s on the way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What if there’s no sign of your ballot? Again, Alexander says, don’t panic, because “there are a lot of fail safes in the system.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One helpful warning sign, Alexander says: “If you’re not getting anything about the election in the mail, you probably aren’t registered to vote at your current address.” \u003ca href=\"https://voterstatus.sos.ca.gov/\">Check your registration details \u003c/a>and address, and if they’re incorrect, update them ASAP before the voter registration deadline of October 19, 15 days before Election Day. Your county elections will then cancel any previous ballot mailed out so that it won’t be counted, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voter-registration/vote-mail\">send you a new ballot\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 November 3, go to your county elections office in person and request one at the counter. And remember, you always still have the option of \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voter-registration/same-day-reg\">Same Day Voter Registration\u003c/a>, a.k.a 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>",

You just need to make sure your signature is your own, and matches the one you’re registered to vote with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Voters with disabilities can also choose to use the \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voting-resources/remote-accessible-vote-mail\">Remote Accessible Vote-By-Mail \u003c/a>system to vote privately and independently at home, using their usual assistive device on their home computer to fill out the ballot on their screen and then print and mail it. (This year, Remote Accessible Vote-By-Mail is actually available to all voters who need it, under emergency legislation passed earlier this year in light of COVID-19.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every voting location in California is also equipped with an accessible voting unit. Here, voters who are sight-impaired or have a disability that limits their dexterity will be able to use the assistive device of their choice that allows them to vote privately and independently.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Tip: Look Out For the Young Voters in Your Life\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11837810/study-finds-young-voters-more-likely-to-have-mail-ballots-rejected\">Young voters are the most likely to have their ballots rejected\u003c/a>, according to the data — and there are good reasons for that, Alexander says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most obviously, they’re newer to voting in general. But they’re also likely to be less familiar with how the U.S. Postal Service works, especially when it comes to issues like collection times and post office hours. Younger people are more likely to conduct a lot of their business online, and therefore have less familiarity with activities that require a written signature on paper, like writing checks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>\u003c/b>Younger voters, Alexander says, also get their ballots rejected more frequently than other voters due to signature mismatch. Why?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We think that’s really stemming from the fact that many of them are pre-registering to vote, or registering at a very young age before they’ve actually formed a signature,” she says — especially if they’re making that signature with a stylus while registering at the DMV. Her advice, once again: Check the signature on your driver’s license or state I.D., and make sure it matches what you’re signing on your ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11840829\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11840829\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/pexels-daniel-xavier-1239291.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/pexels-daniel-xavier-1239291.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/pexels-daniel-xavier-1239291-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/pexels-daniel-xavier-1239291-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/pexels-daniel-xavier-1239291-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/pexels-daniel-xavier-1239291-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Make sure the young voters in your life get the support they need this election season \u003ccite>(Daniel Xavier/Pexels)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>All this, Alexander says, means younger voters “have a knowledge gap there that they have to overcome.” So if you’re able to spend five minutes helping out a young person in your life who wants to vote this year, it’s time well spent.

On Our Watch brings listeners into the rooms where officers are questioned and witnesses are interrogated to find out who this system is really protecting. Is it the officers, or the public they've sworn to serve?",
