INTO
INTO DOWNTOWN. CARLY, THANK YOU. LET'S CHECK OUT THE TWENTY
TWENTY PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION
AND THE FINAL FULL DAY ON THE
CAMPAIGN TRAIL IS TODAY.
BOTH THE PRESIDENT AND JOE
BIDEN CONVERGING ON
PENNSYLVANIA TODAY WHICH
EXPERTS SAY SHOULD PLAY A
PIVOTAL ROLE IN DECIDING THE
OUTCOME OF THE ELECTION.
YOU KNOW THE LATEST ABC NEWS
WASHINGTON POST POLL SHOWS JOE
BIDEN WITH A SEVEN POINT LEAD
IN THE KEYSTONE STATE BUT THE
PRESIDENT PROMISES ANOTHER COME
FROM BEHIND VICTORY.
>> JOE BIDEN IS TAKING NOTHING
FOR GRANTED SPENDING MOST
OF THE DAY IN PENNSYLVANIA.
HE'LL CAMPAIGN IN COUNTY WHICH
THE PRESIDENT WON BY DOUBLE
DIGITS IN 2016.
AFTER THAT, BIDEN WELL IN THE
DAY IN PITTSBURGH.
NOW ALL OF THIS COMES AFTER HE
VISITS OHIO FIRST.
ON THE OTHER HAND, PRESIDENT
TRUMP WILL HIT FOUR STATES
TODAY NORTH CAROLINA,
PENNSYLVANIA, MICHIGAN AND
WISCONSIN AND THAT IS AFTER HE
HIT FIVE STATES YESTERDAY.
WELL, IT IS NOT CLEAR HOW MUCH
OF THE TTHAT CAMPAIGNING WILL
HAVE MOST VOTERS ALREADY BAKED
IN THE U.S. ELECTIONS PROJECT
HAS MORE THAN 90 FOUR MILLION
PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY VOTED.
>> THAT'S MORE THAN TWO THIRDS
OF ALL THE EARLY VOTES CAST IN
THE LAST PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION
.
NOW KEEP IN MIND MORE DEMOCRATS
TEND TO VOTE EARLY THAN
REPUBLICANS.
REPUBLICANS VOTE MORE SO ON
ELECTION DAY.
OFFICIALS SAY THOSE EARLY VOTES
MAY TAKE TIME TO COUNT IN KEY
STATES LIKE MICHIGAN AND
PENNSYLVANIA.
AND THAT SPARKED A FIGHT OVER
BALLOT COUNTING.
DEMOCRATS ARGUING IN COURT THAT
BALLOTS POSTMARKED BY ELECTION
DAY SHOULD BE COUNTED.
BUT THE PRESIDENT CONTINUES TO
INSIST A WINNER MUST BE
DECLARED BY TOMORROW NIGHT
SHOULD KNOW THE RESULT OF THE
ELECTION ON NOVEMBER.
>> THE EVENING OF NOVEMBER 3RD
.
THAT'S THE WAY IT'S BEEN AND
THAT'S THE WAY IT SHOULD BE.
>> WHILE NEWS ORGANIZATIONS
OFTEN PROJECT WINNERS ON
ELECTION NIGHT, THE FINAL VOTE
IN EACH STATE IS NOT CERTIFIED
FOR DAYS IF NOT WEEKS.
AND AS ELECTION DAY LOOMS,
WE'RE STARTING TO SEE MORE
CONCERNS SURROUNDING VOTER
INTIMIDATION.
YEAH, THAT YELLOW KIND OF IS
OFFICES NOW INVESTIGATING AT
LEAST ONE OF THOSE CASES WE'VE
SEEN OTHER EXAMPLES ALL ACROSS
THE COUNTRY.
AND YOU KNOW, AS MORE PEOPLE
HEAD TO THE POLLS TODAY AND
TOMORROW WE COULD SEE EVEN
MORE.
THE ABC 10 VOTER ACCESS TEAM IS
ALL OVER THIS FOR YOU.
KEVIN JOHN IS LIMóN YELLOW
COUNTY THIS MORNING WITH WHAT
YOU NEED TO KNOW.
HEY KEVIN .
>> HEY, KERISTEN.
YES, WE ARE LESS THAN 24 HOURS
AWAY FROM ELECTION DAY.
I KNOW WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT
IT FOR A LOT LEADING UP TO THIS
AND IT IS POSSIBLE THAT TENSION
CAN RISE AT POLLS AS VOTERS
CAST THEIR BALLOTS IN THE FINAL
HOURS.
SO WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU HAPPEN
TO FIND YOURSELF AS A VICTIM
OF VOTER INTIMIDATION OR IF YOU
HAPPEN TO WITNESS GOING ON?
WELL, FIRST THINGS FIRST.
IT'S IMPORTANT TO IDENTIFY
EXACTLY WHAT VOTER INTIMIDATION
IS AND ACCORDING TO THE BRENNAN
CENTER FOR JUSTICE.
INTIMIDATION INCLUDES USING
THREATENING LANGUAGE AROUND
POLLING PLACES, BLOCKING
ENTRANCES TO POLLING PLACES,
TAKING PICTURES OF VOTERS
SHOWING OFF WEAPONS IN FRONT
OF VOTERS AND THAT'S AMONG MANY
OTHER THINGS.
NOW FEDERAL LAW DESCRIBES VOTER
INTIMIDATION AS QUOTE WHOEVER
INTIMIDATES THREATENS OR
COURSES WITH THE PURPOSE
OF INTERFERING WITH SOMEONE
ELSE'S RIGHT TO VOTE IS
BREAKING THE LAW NOW.
ANYONE WHO IS CUT IN VIOLATION
OF THIS LAW IS SUBJECT TO A
FINE AND OR BEING JAILED FOR A
YEAR.
SO WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU FEEL
THAT YOU'RE BEING INTIMIDATED?
WELL, MOST VOTE CENTERS HAVE
SECURITY GUARDS ON THE PREMISES
SO YOU CAN NOTIFY ONE OF THEM.
YOU CAN ALSO CALL THE LOCAL LAW
ENFORCEMENT IN YOUR COUNTY OR
THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE'S
VOTER DIVISION AT ONE 800 TO
FIVE THREE THREE NINE THREE
ONE.
NOW JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, IT
IS LEGAL TO BE AROUND A VOTE
CENTER IF YOU ARE CAMPAIGNING
FOR A PARTICULAR CANDIDATE.
HOW EVER YOU CANNOT BE WITHIN
100 FEET OF THE ENTRANCE DOOR
TO THAT PARTICULAR VOTE.
OBVIOUSLY THAT IS ILLEGAL.
NOW FOR MORE INFORMATION ON
VOTER INTIMIDATION, YOU CAN
CHECK OUT OUR WEB SITE A.B.C.
10 DOT COM SLASH VOTE.
TWENTY TWENTY KERISTEN.
>> ALL RIGHT.
THANK FOR KEEPING US POSTED ON
ALL OF THAT INFORMATION,
KEVIN .
ALL RIGHT.
SO YOU KNOW, DOZENS OF BALLOTS
WENT MISSING IN CONTRA COSTA
COUNTY.
AND NOW AN INVESTIGATION IS
UNDERWAY.
THE BALLOTS WERE DROPPED OFF AT
THE RICHMOND CITY HALL AND
VOTERS HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO
CONFIRM THAT THEIR BALLOTS WERE
RECEIVED.
ELECTIONS OFFICIALS SAY THEY
DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED BUT
THEY DON'T BELIEVE FOUL PLAY IS
TO BLAME.
OK, YOU'RE GOING TO FIND 12
STATEWIDE PROPOSITIONS ON THE
BALLOT THIS YEAR COVERING
EVERYTHING FROM THE CRIMINAL
JUSTICE SYSTEM TO PROPERTY
TAXES IN THE GIG WORKER
ECONOMY.
>> XXXX POINTIS JOINS US NOW TO
BREAK DOWN TWO POPULAR
PROPOSITIONS THAT MAY BE A BIT
CONFUSING FOR EVERYBODY'S XXXX.
>> GOOD MORNING .
WELL, LET'S TALK PROP 16 NOW.
SUPPORTERS OF IT SAY IT GIVES
WOMEN AND MINORITIES MORE
OPPORTUNITIES.
THOSE AGAINST IT SAY IT UNDOES
A LEGAL GUARANTEE OF EQUAL
RIGHTS.
IF PASSED, PROP 16 COULD GIVE
CALIFORNIA AFFIRMATIVE ACTION
PROGRAMS MEANING WOMEN AND
MINORITIES GET PREFERENCE IN
STATE HIRING STATE CONTRACTS
AND COLLEGE ADMISSIONS.
OPPONENTS ARGUE THAT IF WE WANT
EQUALITY THEN WE HAVE TO KEEP
IT IN THE LAW.
SO A YES VOTE ON PROP 16 WOULD
LEGALIZE AFFIRMATIVE ACTION IN
CALIFORNIA.
A NO VOTE KEEPS THE CURRENT BAN
AGAINST PREFERENCE BASED ON
RACE AND SEX.
NOW LET'S TALK PROP 19.
IT HAS TO DO WITH PROPERTY TAX
TRANSFERS AND EXEMPTIONS.
ALSO RIGHT NOW PEOPLE OVER 55
CAN MOVE TO A NEW HOME IN THE
STATE THAT'S WORTH LESS THAN
THE OLD ONE AND KEEP THEIR LOW
TAX BASE.
RIGHT NOW THEY CAN ONLY DO THAT
ONCE PROP 19 WOULD LET THEM DO
THAT THREE TIMES.
THOSE OPPOSED TO PROP 19 SAY IT
WOULD CHANGE THE LAWS OF HOME
REAL ESTATE.
A YES VOTE ALLOWS MORE FLEXIBLE
MOVES AND INCREASES TAX ON
INHERITED PROPERTIES.
A NO VOTE KEEPS THE LAW AS IT
IS.
NOW THERE ARE A LOT MORE TO
THESE PROPOSITIONS BUT WE'VE
GOT IT OUR BROKEN DOWN FOR YOU.
JUST HEAD TO YOUTUBE
