The Battle Over Voter ID in CaliforniaCalifornians in this fall’s election will consider Proposition 39, which asks whether voters should be required to show ID when they cast a ballot. Supporters argue the rules are common-sense safeguards essential for restoring public confidence in elections, while opponents contend they pose identity theft risks and disproportionately disenfranchise low-income, minority and young voters. We’ll unpack the cases for and against Prop 39 with KQED’s Guy Marzorati and Marisa Lagos.

Commonwealth Club
Sarah Longwell: ‘How to Eat an Elephant’ American voters and their hopes for our country are at the center of the work of political strategist Sarah Longwell. She holds hundreds of focus groups to hear not what commentators say about American attitudes but what voters themselves say, sometimes with very surprising results. Longwell joins the Commonwealth Club to share what she has learned about countering authoritarian populism; it’s a process that isn’t completed with one election, but is instead accomplished one voter at a time. Longwell’s new book is “How to Eat an Elephant: One Voter at a Time.”
