I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

"content": "\u003cp>About an hour and 12 minutes into Tuesday night’s chaotic, disturbing and ultimately unsatisfying presidential debate, moderator Chris Wallace departed from his list of previously announced debate topics to acknowledge the environmental crisis facing California and other Western states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’d like to talk about climate change,” Wallace said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So would I,” said former Vice President Joe Biden, who was no doubt grateful to move on after Trump interrupted his comments about his son, Beau, who died of brain cancer, to ruthlessly attack his other son, Hunter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The forest fires in the West are raging now. They have displaced hundreds of thousands of people,” Wallace said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Fox News anchor then referred to Trump’s recent visit to Sacramento.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When state officials there blamed the fires on climate change, Mr. President, you said, ‘I don’t think the science knows.’ What do you believe about the science of climate change, and what will you do in the next four years to confront it?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump initially deflected the question.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I want crystal clean water and air. I want beautiful clean air. We have now the lowest carbon. If you look at our numbers right now, we are doing phenomenally,” Trump said, without citing any evidence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wallace pressed for an actual answer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What do you believe about the science of climate change, sir, and what will you do in the next four years to confront it?” he asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"President Trump\"]‘Every year I get the call: ‘California is burning! California is burning!’ If that was cleaned … if you had forest management, good forest management, you wouldn’t be getting those calls.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I believe that we have to do everything we can to have immaculate air, immaculate water and do whatever else we can. You know, we’re planting a billion trees,” Trump said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked if he believes human-produced greenhouse gases contribute to the warming of planet, Trump gave a brief nod before pivoting to his favorite culprit, forest management.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think a lot of things do, but I think to an extent, yes. But I also think we have to do better management of our forests every year,” Trump said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Every year I get the call. ‘California is burning! California is burning!’ ” he said. “If that was cleaned … if you had forest management, good forest management, you wouldn’t be getting those calls.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as Gov. Gavin Newsom noted \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2020/09/newsom-trump-california-meeting/\">when he met with Trump\u003c/a> earlier this month, 57% of the forests in California are under federal, not state, control — a point that surprisingly, no one brought up during the debate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In addition to everything else, the forest floors are loaded up with trees, dead trees that are years old and they’re like tinder and leaves and everything else. You drop a cigarette there, the whole forest burns down,” Trump said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom contradicted that notion in a \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/PolitiFact/status/1311128938744340480\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">tweet\u003c/a> posted moments after Trump’s comments during the debate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/GavinNewsom/status/1311135283157454848\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump also bragged about his pledge to remove the U.S. from the historic 2015 Paris climate agreement — signed by nearly every nation in the world — defying the overwhelming consensus of environmental scientists and climate change experts who consider the accord an important step to lowering global carbon emissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you look at the Paris accord, it was a disaster from our standpoint,” Trump said. “And people are actually very happy about what’s going on because our businesses are doing well.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wallace also reminded the president that he had rolled back Obama-era environmental regulations and initiatives aimed at reducing carbon emissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump also made a point during the debate of dismissing Newsom’s recent executive order requiring that all vehicles sold in California be emission free by 2035.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"2020-election\"]“I’m okay with electric cars, too. I think I’m all for electric cars. I’ve given big incentives for electric cars. But what they’ve done in California is just crazy,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For his part, Biden promised to rejoin the Paris agreement if elected and stressed the need to move away from fossil fuels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Nobody is going to build another coal-fired plant in America. No one’s going to build another oil-fired plant in America. They’re going to move to renewable energy,” Biden said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re going to make sure that we are able to take the federal fleet and turn it into a fleet that’s run on, they’re electric vehicles, making sure we can do that,” he added. “We’re going to put 500,000 charging stations on all of the highways that we’re going to be building in the future.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Biden also pledged to improve energy efficiency in buildings and new homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although Biden’s response on climate issues was not his most coherent moment of the night — he stumbled over his position on the so-called Green New Deal, among other things — his statements underscored the stark differences between the two men on environmental policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are going to be in a position where we can create hard, hard, good jobs by making sure the environment is clean and we all are in better shape,” Biden said. “We spend billions of dollars now, billions of dollars on floods, hurricanes, rising seas. We’re in real trouble.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Look what’s happened just in the Midwest with these storms that come through and wipe out entire sections and counties in Iowa. They didn’t happen before. They’re because of global warming. That’s why we have to get back into the Paris accord.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And with that, moderator Chris Wallace moved on to the important final topic of “election integrity,” ushering in another round of misinformation from the president regarding the security of mail-in ballots.\u003c/p>\n\n",

But that increase does not guarantee Cox will win again in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are people who are Democratic because of, maybe they’re a union member.

"content": "\u003cp>Read through the voter handbook for California’s November election, and a name pops up over and over again: Alice Huffman. As leader of the California NAACP, Huffman has weighed in with positions that critics say run counter to the historic civil rights organization’s mission to advance racial equality in education, housing and criminal justice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Should voters raise commercial property taxes to pour billions of dollars into schools? Should they make it easier for cities to pass rent control ordinances? Should California outlaw the use of cash bail?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No, no and no, Huffman argues in the \u003ca href=\"https://vig.cdn.sos.ca.gov/2020/general/pdf/complete-vig.pdf\">ballot handbook\u003c/a>, where she is repeatedly identified as president of the California State Conference of the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What the guide doesn’t tell voters is that Huffman’s \u003ca href=\"http://acpublicaffairs.com/\">political consulting firm\u003c/a> has been paid more than $1.2 million so far this year by ballot measure campaigns that she or the California NAACP has endorsed. She’s been paid by campaigns funded by commercial property owners fighting the tax increase, corporate landlords opposed to expanding rent control and bail bondsmen who want to keep the cash bail system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Huffman’s dual roles as both a paid campaign consultant and leader of a vaunted civil rights group amount to an unusual — but legal — arrangement. Though she has held both positions for many years, Huffman was especially sought after this year, as political campaigns respond to the national reckoning over race and frame many of their messages with themes of justice and equity. The small firm Huffman runs with her sister is being paid by five ballot measure campaigns this year, public records show — more than it has taken on in previous elections. Many of them are funded by corporate interests at war with labor unions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While it’s common for political campaigns to hire strategists to help them communicate with specific constituencies, those consultants usually do not come with a brand as well-known as the NAACP is for its work fighting discrimination over the last century. Huffman’s approach — making money from the campaigns that also wind up with an NAACP seal of approval — is stirring controversy in some Black communities. Critics say it appears the endorsement of the renowned civil rights organization is essentially up for sale.[aside tag=\"politics\" label=\"More political coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel like it’s a conflict of interest and I think it’s misleading to the public,” said Carroll Fife, an officer of the Oakland chapter of the NAACP who disagrees with the state organization on several ballot measure endorsements. “It’s unfortunate. Politics is gross.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fife works as the executive director of the Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment, a nonprofit that is campaigning for \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/election-2020-guide/proposition-15-property-tax-big-business/\">Proposition 15\u003c/a> to raise commercial property taxes and boost funding for schools. She also supports\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/election-2020-guide/proposition-21-rent-control/\"> Prop. 21\u003c/a> to make it easier for cities to expand rent control, and says both measures would help California’s Black communities. Two-thirds of Black households in the state are renters, census data shows, and many Black students are \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/explainers/achievement-gap-california-explainer-schools-education-disparities-explained/\">concentrated in high-poverty schools\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Huffman declined to be interviewed for this article, as did other members of the California NAACP \u003ca href=\"http://www.ca-naacp.org/index.php/about/leadership\">executive board\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the ballot handbook, Huffman \u003ca href=\"https://vig.cdn.sos.ca.gov/2020/general/pdf/complete-vig.pdf\">argues the measures\u003c/a> would hurt low-income Californians because commercial property owners would pass their higher costs onto consumers and small-business tenants, and expanded rent control could shrink the supply of affordable housing. Huffman’s Sacramento-based firm, AC Public Affairs, has been paid $590,000 so far by the No on Prop. 15 campaign and $280,000 by the No on Prop. 21 campaign, \u003ca href=\"http://dbsearch.sos.ca.gov/ExpendCodeSearch.aspx\">public records show\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She has the right to make money as we all do,” said Anthony Thigpenn, a community organizer in Los Angeles who heads the California Calls advocacy group and supports Prop. 15. “But when it’s something that’s using a community-based organization’s brand, and particularly when it’s taking positions… that are not in the interest of the communities that organization has advocated for and championed, that is disappointing and sad.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thigpenn said he believes increasing commercial property taxes with the so-called “split-roll” approach in Prop. 15 is a matter of racial justice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Black communities in California suffer most from the lack of funding for schools and community colleges, which are typically gateways for people to have career paths and livable wages and good jobs,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Sacramento insider\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Well-known in Sacramento as a political powerhouse with a \u003ca href=\"https://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article111682772.html\">career that’s spanned some 50 years\u003c/a>, Huffman worked for then-Gov. Jerry Brown in the 1970s. She became close with Willie Brown during the 1980s and 1990s, when he was Assembly speaker and she was a \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1991-06-24-mn-809-story.html\">lobbyist for the California Teachers Association\u003c/a>. She opened her public affairs firm in 1988, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.naacp.org/naacp-board-of-directors/alice-a-huffman/\">was elected president\u003c/a> of the California NAACP in 1999. Her firm helps political campaigns build coalitions and get their messages out through media, advertising and a newsletter called the “\u003ca href=\"http://acpublicaffairs.com/?page_id=52\">Minority News\u003c/a>.” Many of the messages \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Gmail-Prop-22.pdf\">feature Huffman\u003c/a> and her role with the NAACP.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the years, Huffman’s consulting business and the California NAACP’s endorsements have aligned many times. As she was paid by Indian tribes, \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2005-nov-04-me-pharma4-story.html\">pharmaceutical companies\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2006-oct-22-me-spokesmodel22-story.html\">cigarette makers\u003c/a> trying to pass or defeat ballot measures in the early 2000s, the California NAACP endorsed those campaigns. The same thing happened in 2018, when Huffman’s firm was paid nearly $900,000 \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/Rent-control-foes-hire-California-NAACP-leader-13144448.php\">by the campaign fighting a rent control measure\u003c/a>, and $90,000 by dialysis companies opposing an initiative that would have increased their cost of doing business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both measures failed in 2018 but are back on the ballot this year, and the campaigns trying to defeat them have again hired Huffman. Michael Bustamante, a spokesman for the campaign against the \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/election-2020-guide/proposition-21-rent-control/\">Prop. 21\u003c/a> rent control measure, said Huffman is motivated by what’s best for Black Californians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In 2018, she was passionate in her opposition to Prop. 10 because of what it would do to the African American community,” he said, referring to opponents’ argument that more rent control would drive up the cost of housing by discouraging developers from building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Over and over again she talked about how homeownership… enables African American families to get a toehold to better their future.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bustamante, who is also a spokesperson for the campaign against raising commercial property taxes, said in a statement that “the NAACP took its position in opposition to Prop. 15 based on clear facts that they outlined in their March 2nd report,”\u003ca href=\"http://www.ca-naacp.org/images/Forms/NAACP_-Social_Justice_Study_two.pdf\"> which says\u003c/a> social justice advocates should be concerned that the measure would increase costs for consumers and doesn’t do enough to protect small businesses.[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Carol Fife, Oakland NAACP officer\"]““I feel like it’s a conflict of interest and I think it’s misleading to the public.””[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campaign finance records show the anti-Prop. 15 campaign made its first payment to Huffman’s firm, of $70,000, on Feb. 25.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The campaign funded by dialysis companies opposing an initiative that would require their clinics to have a doctor on site hired Huffman to educate African American voters “about the dangers of Prop. 23,” said campaign spokesperson Kathy Fairbanks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Prop. 23 is particularly dangerous for communities of color because they suffer from kidney disease and need dialysis at higher rates,” she said in a statement. “Prop. 23 would force the shutdown of many clinics, jeopardizing the life-saving dialysis patients need.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Huffman has told reporters in the past that she only takes on political clients whose campaigns are aligned with the California NAACP’s positions.

As leader of the California NAACP, Huffman has weighed in with positions that critics say run counter to the historic civil rights organization’s mission to advance racial equality in education, housing and criminal justice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Should voters raise commercial property taxes to pour billions of dollars into schools? Should they make it easier for cities to pass rent control ordinances? Should California outlaw the use of cash bail?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No, no and no, Huffman argues in the \u003ca href=\"https://vig.cdn.sos.ca.gov/2020/general/pdf/complete-vig.pdf\">ballot handbook\u003c/a>, where she is repeatedly identified as president of the California State Conference of the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What the guide doesn’t tell voters is that Huffman’s \u003ca href=\"http://acpublicaffairs.com/\">political consulting firm\u003c/a> has been paid more than $1.2 million so far this year by ballot measure campaigns that she or the California NAACP has endorsed. She’s been paid by campaigns funded by commercial property owners fighting the tax increase, corporate landlords opposed to expanding rent control and bail bondsmen who want to keep the cash bail system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Huffman’s dual roles as both a paid campaign consultant and leader of a vaunted civil rights group amount to an unusual — but legal — arrangement. Though she has held both positions for many years, Huffman was especially sought after this year, as political campaigns respond to the national reckoning over race and frame many of their messages with themes of justice and equity. The small firm Huffman runs with her sister is being paid by five ballot measure campaigns this year, public records show — more than it has taken on in previous elections. Many of them are funded by corporate interests at war with labor unions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Politics is gross.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fife works as the executive director of the Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment, a nonprofit that is campaigning for \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/election-2020-guide/proposition-15-property-tax-big-business/\">Proposition 15\u003c/a> to raise commercial property taxes and boost funding for schools. She also supports\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/election-2020-guide/proposition-21-rent-control/\"> Prop. 21\u003c/a> to make it easier for cities to expand rent control, and says both measures would help California’s Black communities. Two-thirds of Black households in the state are renters, census data shows, and many Black students are \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/explainers/achievement-gap-california-explainer-schools-education-disparities-explained/\">concentrated in high-poverty schools\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Huffman declined to be interviewed for this article, as did other members of the California NAACP \u003ca href=\"http://www.ca-naacp.org/index.php/about/leadership\">executive board\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the ballot handbook, Huffman \u003ca href=\"https://vig.cdn.sos.ca.gov/2020/general/pdf/complete-vig.pdf\">argues the measures\u003c/a> would hurt low-income Californians because commercial property owners would pass their higher costs onto consumers and small-business tenants, and expanded rent control could shrink the supply of affordable housing. Huffman’s Sacramento-based firm, AC Public Affairs, has been paid $590,000 so far by the No on Prop. 15 campaign and $280,000 by the No on Prop. 21 campaign, \u003ca href=\"http://dbsearch.sos.ca.gov/ExpendCodeSearch.aspx\">public records show\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She has the right to make money as we all do,” said Anthony Thigpenn, a community organizer in Los Angeles who heads the California Calls advocacy group and supports Prop. 15. “But when it’s something that’s using a community-based organization’s brand, and particularly when it’s taking positions… that are not in the interest of the communities that organization has advocated for and championed, that is disappointing and sad.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thigpenn said he believes increasing commercial property taxes with the so-called “split-roll” approach in Prop. 15 is a matter of racial justice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Black communities in California suffer most from the lack of funding for schools and community colleges, which are typically gateways for people to have career paths and livable wages and good jobs,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Sacramento insider\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Well-known in Sacramento as a political powerhouse with a \u003ca href=\"https://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article111682772.html\">career that’s spanned some 50 years\u003c/a>, Huffman worked for then-Gov. Jerry Brown in the 1970s. She became close with Willie Brown during the 1980s and 1990s, when he was Assembly speaker and she was a \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1991-06-24-mn-809-story.html\">lobbyist for the California Teachers Association\u003c/a>. She opened her public affairs firm in 1988, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.naacp.org/naacp-board-of-directors/alice-a-huffman/\">was elected president\u003c/a> of the California NAACP in 1999. Her firm helps political campaigns build coalitions and get their messages out through media, advertising and a newsletter called the “\u003ca href=\"http://acpublicaffairs.com/?page_id=52\">Minority News\u003c/a>.” Many of the messages \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Gmail-Prop-22.pdf\">feature Huffman\u003c/a> and her role with the NAACP.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the years, Huffman’s consulting business and the California NAACP’s endorsements have aligned many times. As she was paid by Indian tribes, \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2005-nov-04-me-pharma4-story.html\">pharmaceutical companies\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2006-oct-22-me-spokesmodel22-story.html\">cigarette makers\u003c/a> trying to pass or defeat ballot measures in the early 2000s, the California NAACP endorsed those campaigns. The same thing happened in 2018, when Huffman’s firm was paid nearly $900,000 \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/Rent-control-foes-hire-California-NAACP-leader-13144448.php\">by the campaign fighting a rent control measure\u003c/a>, and $90,000 by dialysis companies opposing an initiative that would have increased their cost of doing business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both measures failed in 2018 but are back on the ballot this year, and the campaigns trying to defeat them have again hired Huffman. Michael Bustamante, a spokesman for the campaign against the \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/election-2020-guide/proposition-21-rent-control/\">Prop. 21\u003c/a> rent control measure, said Huffman is motivated by what’s best for Black Californians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In 2018, she was passionate in her opposition to Prop. 10 because of what it would do to the African American community,” he said, referring to opponents’ argument that more rent control would drive up the cost of housing by discouraging developers from building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Over and over again she talked about how homeownership… enables African American families to get a toehold to better their future.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bustamante, who is also a spokesperson for the campaign against raising commercial property taxes, said in a statement that “the NAACP took its position in opposition to Prop. 15 based on clear facts that they outlined in their March 2nd report,”\u003ca href=\"http://www.ca-naacp.org/images/Forms/NAACP_-Social_Justice_Study_two.pdf\"> which says\u003c/a> social justice advocates should be concerned that the measure would increase costs for consumers and doesn’t do enough to protect small businesses.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Replacing Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a liberal icon, with a staunchly conservative justice has long been the wish of Republicans, including President Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the death of Ginsburg on Friday also creates a sudden and unexpected minefield for Republicans in the U.S. Senate, who are at risk of losing their narrow majority in the November election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats in general, and in California in particular, also have a lot riding on the outcome of what is sure to be an epic political battle with implications that could last decades. And it’s unclear who will benefit from the new campaign landscape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former California Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer believes Republicans would be making a mistake to muscle through a nominee so close to the presidential election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This election already is insane and fraught with foreign interference and voter suppression and everything, and now it looks like my former Republican colleagues are going to push ahead and be hypocrites and push an appointment forward,” Boxer said. “And I think that will throw a torch into the Senate, literally. And I think it will change everything.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boxer, along with Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-California, was elected in the 1992 “Year of the Woman” following the contentious confirmation of Justice Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She was also there in 2016 when Republicans blocked a vote on former President Barack Obama’s choice to fill a seat left vacant after the death of Justice Antonin Scalia, saying it was too close to the election — which at that point was more than eight months away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And they’re just being hypocrites and double dealers and everything else. You cannot do that. You cannot just change every other day because it suits your needs,” Boxer said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the other hand, Ginsburg’s death allows Trump to do something he desperately needs: change the subject. Every day he defends his handling of the pandemic or denies allegations published in books by former disgruntled former is a day he’s losing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky, are vowing to vote on a Republican nominee in the coming weeks, even though the election is just over 40 days away. The timing of any hearings is not yet clear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If he does it before the election, it’s going to put his vulnerable senators in a very bad place,” Boxer said. But she added, “Either way, if he does it after the election, I think the Republican Party will be dead and buried.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/NPR/status/1307348835300188162\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it’s not really clear what a rushed confirmation would mean politically. And Democrats also have a lot riding on how the White House and McConnell proceed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Sen. Kamala Harris, D-California, could be pressed to leave the campaign trail if confirmation hearings are set before the election. This would give Harris, known for her sharp and politically polarizing questioning of Trump nominees, a high-profile role, but not one she would necessarily want or benefit from.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A confirmation battle could be a good organizing tool for Democrats. But if it consumes progressive interest groups’ time and money, it could also distract from the larger issue of getting Democrats out to vote for the Biden-Harris ticket and for the Democratic Senate candidates in states they’re hoping to flip.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"former California Sen. Barbara Boxer\"]“I think that will throw a torch into the Senate, literally. And I think it will change everything.”[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Politics aside, states like California have a lot riding on who replaces Ginsburg.

"content": "\u003cp>You might think the claim that California has legalized pedophilia wouldn’t pass the smell test with most people. Not in 2020, when certain Republican politicians have seized on the passage of a law regarding sex offenders as an opportunity to rally QAnon believers, a growing and active group of conspiracy theorists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, a little back story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Think about high school: Not all teen sex is pedophilia. Today, the average American loses their virginity around the age of 17. So California law provides for judicial review of certain cases as a backstop to overzealous prosecutors keen to put someone on a sex offender registry who possibly shouldn’t be there — like an 18 year old caught having consensual sex with a 16 year old.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the penal code, which dates back to 1944, included only vaginal sex. \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200SB145\">Senate Bill 145\u003c/a>, signed into law last week, extends the backstop to other forms of sex, including that which could happen between homosexual or transgender individuals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new law does not legalize statutory rape. It also does not give judges discretion to keep adults off the registry who victimized a child under the age of 14 or adults who engaged in sex with a teenager more than 10 years their junior.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is a righteous bill,” said its author, state Sen. Scott Wiener, a Democrat from San Francisco. “It is supported by civil rights organizations and law enforcement and sexual assault survivor organizations. And it’s a bill that will address an inequity that is destroying the lives of LGBTQ people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill was \u003cem>sponsored\u003c/em> by the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office. Nonetheless, state lawmakers on both sides of the aisle expressed concern the bill could make it easier for someone committing statutory rape to get away with it or face fewer consequences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Senate Minority Leader Shannon Grove, who represents parts of the Central Valley and High Desert, posted a series of tweets earlier this month that both politicized the bill and digitally winked at QAnon believers with the hashtag #SaveOurChildren.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/ShannonGroveCA/status/1300956261454757888\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pedophilia is a triggering concept to most people, but for those who believe in QAnon, it lies at the heart of a loose collection of conspiracy theories clustered around the basic premise that President Trump is trying to save the nation from an elite ring of satanic pedophiles, many of whom are in positions of power, like in government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tag any post with #SaveTheChildren or #Pedo, and you blow a dog whistle to QAnon followers who are likely to be so appalled by the charge that they fail to investigate the credibility of the assertion. Given that a larger percentage of \u003ca href=\"https://civiqs.com/reports/2020/9/2/report-americans-pessimistic-on-time-frame-for-coronavirus-recovery\">QAnon believers identify as Republican\u003c/a>, tagging a Democrat as a pedophile can prove fruitful for right-leaning politicians and pundits. Grove was hardly the only Republican to take advantage of this fact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/DonaldJTrumpJr/status/1305488429745139713\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wiener quickly found himself on the receiving end of a wave of angry tweets, Instagram messages, death threats, doxxing (digital publication of his home address and similar information) and insulting memes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Democrats, liberals, anyone who disagrees with them, they proclaim a pedophile,” said Wiener, who along with his communications director has been posting some of the worst attacks he’s received on Twitter to publicize the fact he’s being targeted. These include \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/catrionastew/status/1301977918000701440\">luridly anti-Semitic memes (warning: this content may be upsetting)\u003c/a> designed to stoke a variety of prejudices, along with rage over pedophilia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The people who are spreading misinformation, people who are obsessed with fake conspiracy theories, they’re the ones with no boundaries.

Not in 2020, when certain Republican politicians have seized on the passage of a law regarding sex offenders as an opportunity to rally QAnon believers, a growing and active group of conspiracy theorists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, a little back story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Think about high school: Not all teen sex is pedophilia. Today, the average American loses their virginity around the age of 17. So California law provides for judicial review of certain cases as a backstop to overzealous prosecutors keen to put someone on a sex offender registry who possibly shouldn’t be there — like an 18 year old caught having consensual sex with a 16 year old.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the penal code, which dates back to 1944, included only vaginal sex. \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200SB145\">Senate Bill 145\u003c/a>, signed into law last week, extends the backstop to other forms of sex, including that which could happen between homosexual or transgender individuals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new law does not legalize statutory rape. It also does not give judges discretion to keep adults off the registry who victimized a child under the age of 14 or adults who engaged in sex with a teenager more than 10 years their junior.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

That year, Sacramento and San Mateo counties mailed a ballot to all registered voters, while Santa Clara county sent ballots to voters who signed up to vote-by-mail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Sacramento and San Mateo counties shifted to mailing every voter a ballot, they saw a corresponding spike in the number of ballots rejected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Young voters were especially likely to have their ballots left uncounted: Rejection rates for 18- to 24-year-olds in the counties were three times higher than the overall rejection rates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Mateo, 3.5% of ballots cast by 18- to 24-year-olds were rejected, compared to 1.0% for all of the county’s voters. In Santa Clara County, young voters accounted for just 7.4% of vote-by-mail voters, but 25.5% of rejected ballots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Young voters have several factors working against them: They are new to voting, they are less familiar with using the U.S. mail and they’re not accustomed to using a signature,” Alexander said. “And all of those are really important factors when you want to cast a vote-by-mail ballot.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newly registered voters also had their ballots rejected at higher rates in all three counties.\u003cbr>\n[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The top reasons for rejection were lateness and ballot signatures that were either missing, or didn’t match the signature on file.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lateness was the cause of 85% of ballot rejections for young voters in San Mateo County, and 79% of ballot rejections for young voters in Santa Clara County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those findings track with data from the secretary of state’s office, which tallied rejected ballots in all 58 counties during the March primary. Two-thirds of rejections among all voters were due to late ballots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are a variety of explanations for why ballots were rejected for lateness. They could have been mailed after Election Day or placed in mailboxes late on Election Day and not postmarked until the next day. Even ballots mailed and postmarked on time would not have been counted if they arrived more than three days after the election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, the window for counties to receive ballots has been extended to 17 days to account for any delays in the U.S. Postal Service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report’s authors urged voters to use county drop-off sites in the last few days of the election, as nearly all the tardy ballots examined in the study were delivered by U.S mail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Voters who want to vote closer to Election Day should return their ballots in person to a drop box, voting site or their county election office,” said Cathy Darling Allen, the registrar of voters in Shasta County, and a California Voter Foundation board member, in a statement.[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Cathy Darling Allen, Registrar of Voters, Shasta County\"]‘Voters who want to vote closer to Election Day should return their ballots in person to a drop box, voting site, or their county election office.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Sacramento, the leading cause of rejection was issues with voter signatures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The signature that voters scrawl on the envelope of a completed mail ballot must match the signature in the voter file — typically the same signature found on the back of a voter’s drivers license.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearly half of the ballot rejections among young voters in Sacramento were the result of a mismatched signature, while 9.1% of ballots were returned with no signature at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike ballots rejected for lateness, mail ballots with signature issues can be corrected and counted.

That year, Sacramento and San Mateo counties mailed a ballot to all registered voters, while Santa Clara county sent ballots to voters who signed up to vote-by-mail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Sacramento and San Mateo counties shifted to mailing every voter a ballot, they saw a corresponding spike in the number of ballots rejected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Young voters were especially likely to have their ballots left uncounted: Rejection rates for 18- to 24-year-olds in the counties were three times higher than the overall rejection rates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Mateo, 3.5% of ballots cast by 18- to 24-year-olds were rejected, compared to 1.0% for all of the county’s voters. In Santa Clara County, young voters accounted for just 7.4% of vote-by-mail voters, but 25.5% of rejected ballots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Young voters have several factors working against them: They are new to voting, they are less familiar with using the U.S. mail and they’re not accustomed to using a signature,” Alexander said. “And all of those are really important factors when you want to cast a vote-by-mail ballot.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newly registered voters also had their ballots rejected at higher rates in all three counties.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
