And georgia laying the groundwork for contesting battleground states today, joe biden was awarded wisconsin and michigan. He now has 264 electoral votes. We said he is inching closer to victory and that number leaves him 6 shy of the magic number 2. 70.

So that is the state to watch were expecting a 10 00am update from Election Officials there in nevada. The other key state that a lot of people are talking about tonight is georgia. President trumps lead in georgia, typically a reliable ruby red state, it is shrinking. And it is shrinking fast as they count all of those mail in ballots right now President Trump clinging to a lead for the first time though he is below 50 of the vote right here 49. 6 8 and here are the number of votes in this actually just changed the short time ago. Right now 2 million 428 thousand the difference here is about 29,000 votes. They have counted a lot of them 98 of the vote has been counted in georgia. But still a ways to go and a lot of the absentee ballots, the mail in ballots are coming from blue areas, atlanta and some of the suburbs around atlanta. So that is where things stand right now as the whole country waits to get information from georgia and from nevada. Joe biden just needs one more state to get to 2. 70 or above and he would be the president elect wow all right as we wait for those votes to roll into a number of states that the Trump Campaign is on the offensive. Kron fours Jonathan Mccall is live for us in the studio with the uphill legal battle, the president is face. A key well as joe biden closes the gap on the president and those still undecided states. The president tried to stop a ballot counting from continuing claiming a number of irregularities and states. 2 lawyers so i got a chance to talk with with plenty of experience dealing with elections. So the president is grasping at straws right now and doesnt have enough legal standing to try and stop that count. The race for the white house know on a potential path to the courts. What hes trying to do is discredit the whole process even as million votes are being counted wednesday the Trump Campaign filed lawsuits in pennsylvania, georgia and michigan. Over claims that its observers havent been given enough access to areas where ballots are being counted fraud has turned hes doing right now is trying to find some basis to get in court and sue jim sudden isnt elections lawyer here in San Francisco. He says the Trump Campaign is trying to find anything that will stick corporal but with no claims of widespread fraud Voter Suppression or concerns brought up before tuesday night. Sun says right now theres not enough its that if you find pena that theyre all the signatures that on the house, you what the registration cards dont match and theyre all being thrown out. Yes, some hawk. Yeah can get or sudden says the president s move could be part of a strategy to contest the results of the elections. Once its certified. The Trump Campaign is also requesting a recount in wisconsin, a state the president lost on wednesday. But jack young says it will be an uphill battle what we are facing in 2020. Is possibly in certain states close elections. But none were close enough where a recount is the liable. Young knows that all too well thats because he was a lawyer involved in the bush v gore lawsuit that decided the 2000 president ial election. He says in that race the Electoral College was tied and less than 600 votes separated the winner. Young says the president is facing a different set of circumstances this time. One that the courts may not be able to help him to some. That this election. Well go on. When in fact close. You know closeness doesnt mean something is wrong. You see hastings professor rory little tells me that it is doubtful that any challenges from the Trump Campaign will actually make it to the supreme court. Thats because each state has its own different election laws and he says that state justices within have to find a constitutional violation in order for it to proceed to a federal court. Jonathan mccall kron 4 news. Thank you jonathan. Joe bidens camp is increasingly optimistic that his campaign will win the white house but. Say they dont want to declare a victory early our washington correspondent alexandra le mon is live for us in wilmington, delaware, where. Joe biden is continuing to monitor the election results. Do you think he likes the trend. Okay then vicki good evening. Well, hes definitely on the edge of his seat much like the rest of us. He is monitoring these results come in tonight in private, you know yet center its really quiet. There are no Public Events planned for joe biden for the rest of the night, but theres a couple things happening in georgia for example we had initially heard that we could be getting election results. There maybe within the next couple of hours. But now were hearing that actually that may not happen tonight after all and then nevada. Same situation Election Officials there had told our crews on the ground to inspect a big vote down this evening and then had to come back and apologize and say actually sorry we kind of jump the gun there we wont have the results until tomorrow morning so with joe biden being so close to potentially securing the 270. Literal votes that he everybody is on the edge of their seats. Alex how is the biden camp reacting to the president s tweet said the lawsuits the trump team is filing in several states sen. The president declaring victory prematurely in pennsylvania and last night declaring victory. With the whole country. Yeah well we know that joe bidens campaign has deployed legal teams to many of these states that are in on the one hand the Trump Campaign is filing lawsuits are has filed lawsuits to temporarily halt the counting in michigan and pennsylvania because they say that they have not had enough access to these counting centers. However, the state Election Officials in those states or a feat those claims they say the process has been completely transparent and that both campaigns have had plenty of on the other hand President Trump has taken it, you know a little further and he has publicly said multiple times now that he wants the voting to stop altogether in michigan and in pennsylvania, joe bidens legal team is there in those states to ensure or to trying to ensure that the counting continues that every vote that was legally cast. According to the election laws in those states. That all of those votes are counted. So alexander we know all of this is being contested both sides have their legal you know teams. Going at it any sense from the camp the theyre prepared to just you know get entrenched and see this true is it is it going to be a long haul relief attracted. Well, its really going depend on what that final ellen turrell cow literal College Count is you know its its a very narrow margin and joe biden wins it by a very narrow margin. There is a possibility that this could end up in the courts and be dragged out, its a if he wins by a really wide margin by a lot of Electoral College votes in many states its going to be pretty tough for the Trump Campaign to try to challenge every single one of those states and then actually win that you know that would be a pretty tough thing to do. Tall order wouldnt rule anything out though alexandra le mon live for us tonight in wilmington delaware. Thank you alex, thanks alex. Well, we have heard from both president ial candidates throughout the day says the. Ballots continue to be tallied their conference Ella Sogomonian joins us now live in the studio with their reactions to this very tight race elop thinking grant they are neck and neck, joe biden keeping cool while President Trump is claiming victory and some of the states whose ballots have yet to be fully counted. President trump lashing out wednesday morning against results it turned out in favor of his rival democratic president ial candidate, joe biden claiming that last minute ballots were secretly added twitter flagged his tweets potentially misleading in which he said quote last night i was leading often solidly in many key states in almost all instances democrat run uncontrolled then one by one they started to magically disappear. A surprise ballot dumps were counted. Very strange and the pollsters got it completely and historically wrong. The republican president ial candidate also claimed himself victorious in pennsylvania georgia, michigan and North Carolina. Well before they were finished counting. Trump didnt appear publicly for any statements, instead members of his campaign stepped forward echoing the same sentiments democrats do think its too. And they do think youre fools and thats what you get called deplorable and shops. Were going stick with this. Well win this election without one. Just a matter of counting the votes fair. Meanwhile, a confident biden addressed americans alongside his running mate california senator kamala harris, sticking to a unifying message we are campaigning as democrats. But i will govern as an american president. The presidency itself is not. A partisan institution. Its the one office in this nation to represent everyone. I will work as hard for those who didnt vote for me as it will for those who did vote for me. Biden went on to say vote must be counted while the president has filed those lawsuits that we mentioned meantime we do want to mention that in arizona Maricopa County has shut down its Elections Office because of protests so were going to continue to more information as voting numbers come in tonight, but guess well just have to wait until tomorrow live in the newsroom. Ella sogomonian kron 4 news. 3 new flexibility for existing businesses in huge streamlined process you are for new businesses so this is that were really excited. Yeah last night was a big win for Small Businesses in San Francisco voters passed prop h which speeds up the often grueling. Annoying permitting process for a Small Businesses looking to open up in the city and the tories lee tough to work through all that red tape prop h also allows for a smoother pivot in business you know with the pandemic people have to shift around and change the way they do things can force Taylor Bisacky. So to a bar owner who played a large role in putting this proposition together she is live in the city with more on that taylor must be a lot of happy Small Business owners. Definitely grant vicki, this is a game changer for Small Businesses trying to open shop here in San Francisco. And this will be crucial as we recover from the pandemic essentially prop each eliminates all that red tape that businesses had to go through previously and in it loud them to get a permit within say 30 days instead of the 12 to 18 months, so its going make things a lot easier for these businesses. Opening a Small Business in San Francisco just became a lot easier. Voters passed proposition age which amends the planning code in tax regulations code to allow for a streamlined permitting process first thing it does is it helps new Small Business open faster and cut the red tape. So were going to need that especially after covid because it looks like right now about 40 of our Small Businesses at last count were shuttered in San Francisco. Its double the rate of new york citys ben bleiman helped write prop h he owns several bars in San Francisco and represents 400 other bar owners as founder of the San Francisco Bar Owner Alliance lyman says. The previous long permitting process would often take up to 16 months in cause Small Businesses, hundreds of thousands of dollars before even opening their doors. The process that joey mutual who founded in arcade rental and Events Company called joey the cat is very familiar with having to hire expedite ers or change drawings or go back and forth or does not know if your permit is going to get approved. In a timely its its a massive headache and i i think the stresses is also a cost financially it will help the Small Businesses move more efficiently prop each will also help businesses already operating in the city by allowing flexibility their Business Models for example. Youre able to rent out space if you have a nice patio like i have i could rent out space to people who may be wanted to work for my adding now that doesnt mean i can hire we work to come in and do it. It would be just on an ad hoc basis. I can also have a set up shop during the day and one of my restaurants. Now for the first 3 years prof age also allows the board of supervisors to expand the scope of co changes but not narrow it. A lot of businesses in the Community Say that this is really going to help out and especially fill those vacancies that weve seen from the pandemic now live in San Francisco Taylor Bisacky kron 4 news all right tailor our also watching the results of the state propositions that were on the Ballot Voters had to decide on a total of 12 state process could take a look at a couple of them prop, 22 there which has passed this allows at pace to be classified as independent contractors are also create. A new labor and wage policies for workers there. Yes about 58 . So winning there than we have prop voters rejected that one would have loosened statewide restrictions on rent control thats up 40 . 59 know on that prop 25 also rejected by the voters it would have ended the cash bail system in california. Month about 45 to 54 . 16 which would have allowed affirmative action also failing to pass there as you can see the numbers you get a full list of all these propositions on our website at kron 4 dot com kron fours terisa stasio dove deeper into these props and has this report. It is typical to kind of reflect after an election and so we decided to kind take a stab at some of the propositions that seemed to be leaning one way and then all of a sudden took a hard turn and ended up with a different result. And its clear that it didnt catch on and only passed in few being area and sand trees. Area and los angeles a tendency to get broad support across the state thats Professor Larry sokoloff with sen is a state university. He teaches Political Science and weighed in on several propositions facing voters in this past general election, including prop 16. And look at repealing prop 2 09 that blocked affirmative action at schools, Public Institutions or public construction contracts, it would be interesting to see more dana on who voted for and he voted against an. And more exit polls. I think at this point. Its clear that it was it wasnt a surprise it sale because that the calls were saying and i think we need more data. Another big ticket item on the ballot prop 15 that chipped away at tax protections on commercial properties. If passed it could dramatically increase taxes taken by cities and counties supporters had argued that it would have made it a more accurate tax value perspective for a building. Just i think theres probably absentee ballots to be counted. And wouldnt it wouldnt surprise me in us. In the end it. Its creeks fire or at least it will be even he has. It was always going to be a tight was always going to be a tight race. I think itd be one of the bigger issues is how do you get people to change the tax system one. Theyre worried about the economy and then theres prop 25 calling for no cash bail for those arrested of a crime it was a little confusing 10, you know both sides are saying kind of like its going to harm people. If you do and i think the voters probably just throw their hands and said im going on now. The professor also had this to say he believes that there could have been some fatigue surrounding the election when we talked about the pandemic because and art away and to vote on a lot of the propositions it takes a lot of homework. And at this juncture where people are trying to juggle. Distance learning as well as working from home that maybe perhaps it was just a little bit too much to ask. A jury says stasio kron 4 news.

Reporting live in san jose gayle ong kron 4 news. Thank you gayle, the passage of proposition, 22 means rideshare drivers you can stay independent contractors do not have to be fulltime employees. Maybe some of them want to be fulltime employees, how drivers in the bay area are reacting and more troubles with projections from the polls which means that we know are very wrong. Why surveys taken ahead of the election just are reliable and its a race to the white house right who can get to 70 who can live there tight races we take a live look from washington. Coming back we will go live to dc and get the latest from the Trump Campaign. Im meteorologist Lawrence Karnow kind of quiet out there tonight, but its going to get a lot louder and. A lot colder maybe some one of the most anticipated propositions that californians voted on is prop 22 and it passed this allows app based drivers to be classified as independent contractors. It also creates new labor and wage policies for drivers kron fours dan kerman has reaction now from the drivers. Rideshare Companies Like uber and lyft dont have to make their drivers fulltime employees, the passage of prop, 22 means they can remain independent contractors, kind of work now its good for me some rideshare drivers at sfo are pleased the measure passed because it gives them more flexibility and the ability to take on more hours of work. Lets say like i know person in my family to provide you know food for him. If my blood work some windows and they gave me like 40 hours monday enough to cover like those other drivers were not so happy to speak about it. But refused to speak on camera fearing reprisals from the company and the drivers loss i think the public lost consumers lost because this shields them from important liability. And most crusie last in terms of having that level of money spent in election that made it very difficult to impossible to have meal. Informed decision being made. Ken jacobs the chair of the U C Berkeley Labor Center says the rideshare and Delivery Service companies spend hundreds of millions of dollars on prop 22. But he believes the debate could move to the federal level. Their son. You know outstanding questions of what a Biden Department of labor and eventually labor board how they will look at these companies so i think that debate the debate is far from over and jacob says he would not be surprised if the same Rideshare Companies spent a fortune in other states across the country. To get similar measures pass. And the rideshare lot of sfo Dan Kerman Kron 4 news. Next on kron 4 news at 9 another election cycle where the polls were way wrong were hearing how this could happen from a you see berkeley professor who studies over confidence from a statistical perspective plus were going hear from another expert on just how polling might improve and we will go live to washington d c for the a hundredyear comet. Did i miss it . But you cant sleep through my breakfast. Because its served all day, every day thanks, jack. Try my 4. 99 french toast sticks jumbo breakfast platter. Part of my all day, everyday breakfast. Tv this is the greatest play ive ever seen whatd i miss . But you cant sleep through my breakfast. Because its served all day, every day thanks, jack. Try my 4. 99 french toast sticks jumbo breakfast platter. Part of my all day, everyday breakfast. This left the i can tell by looking at the votes in states country split in half. Yeah tensions are running high as people wait for a candidate to be called in the president ial election. Its plywood city in downtown San Francisco as merchants kind of settle in to working with the windows and doors barricaded any possible anger over the election result. And tensions clearly high in portland where the National Guard has been activated. Nearly 1000 people marched downtown tonight they started throwing things including a molotov cocktail at law enforcement. A riot was declared about 07 00pm which is when the National Guard was activated. So far at least 9 people have been arrested there. Of course that is that the only place weve seen demonstrations Maricopa County in arizona. And youre phoenix was forced to shut down its election offices tonight. And in detroit protesters marched into the Convention Center there chanting stop the count. This all comes as we await the result of course of an election that is turning out to be a whole lot closer then a lot of people expected especially if you trusted the poli most showed large margins in favor. The democrats biden and candidates running for us senate, but in reality the president ial race right now is razor thin hard to trust those polls anymore kron fours noelle bellow tells us a new study though from you see berkeleys haas business school. Is looking at the accuracy of election polling. Pollsters. And everybody else is prone over confidence, professor of leadership at u c berkeley don more studies over confidence from both a psychological and statistical perspective. He and a former student analyzed polls from 11 election cycles and sevenday batches they found while its easy to take sampling errors into account. Its harder to account for all other unknowns is in fact. A 95 confidence interval then that the result land inside 95 of time up in the polls done within a week of the election. They land inside the conference normal just 60 of the time and as you go further back in time of course the hit rate goes down that so many questions about how why holzer been systematically off in this case in 2016 theres speculation about shy. Trump voters people who intended to vote trump but were a little bit embarrassed this time around that assumption seems less plausible. But more does note that polls did better in 2018 versus 2016 suggesting there may very well be a donald trump, a fact my question was going to be is there a so there are fixes. The evidence from recent elections might lead us to question. Their effectiveness more suggest the inaccuracies arent an excuse to throw a polling altogether though. Suggesting even in perfect predictions are still useful. But he says people likely shouldnt base their beliefs on him perfect samples of information meeting. Or are uncertainties in the world, especially in the future that we will never be able to eliminate no matter how smart well informed we are in the newsroom. Noelle bellow kron 4 news. Now take a look at the. Latest Electoral College map you see joe biden there with 264 Electoral College votes. This is the Associated Press is latest map donald trump with 214 real quickly will check in on georgia which is becoming a hot state donald trump clinging to a lead right there. He leads by about 29,000 votes for perspective, donald trump led by 372,000 votes. At midnight last night in georgia. But as you count all those absentee ballots things are getting tight, joe biden just needs one more state. But at the nevada could it be georgia if nevada doesnt count its votes. Before georgia at this point nobody knows. Yeah well we do know that the president likes to watch a lot of television. He is probably watching those results come in very close like want to go live right now to washington where we find kron fours correspondent jessi to nor jesse we just heard a story about over confident is the president tonight would you say feeling confident about his chances to mount a comeback and win this thing. Yeah good evening grand and vicki President Trump is feeling i would say from what weve been able to hear a little less confident than he was last night and thats really indicative when you take a look at these challenges that his campaign has been mounting just throughout the day so theres now lawsuits in key battleground states of michigan pennsylvania and georgia and then also this push for a recount already in wisconsin. So well see what happens with some of those but they may become a moot point if biden is able to pick up some of the states that potentially werent even in play before when you look at Something Like georgia. How hes just really closing the gap there. But trump is also closing the gap to an arizona even though the Associated Press called that early on this morning. Hes really closing in there too and so while the electoral votes are situated the way they are right now and biden just 6 away teeing it up perfectly for a nevada win if he were to take that that some of those still could be skewed depending on how these results continue to come in. We heard from the in the wee washington time. But so far today hes been unusually quiet. Why do you think that is. Yeah we havent heard from him in the white house called a pretty early lid on it too which just means that we wouldnt be seeing or hearing from him. Hes of course been taking to twitter to let people know how disgruntled he is with the process and how hes supporting these legal challenges hes continuing to claim fraud and continuing to claim different states. Just like we heard from his speech at the white house in the wee hours of this morning. We havent heard a whole lot of evidence really to substantiate a lot of these claims and so thats why a lot of times with these different legal challenges, even though they could be promised even though they could actually be filed. They are very just looking at reason history a lot of times nothing really comes of them, so well have to see what happens with them moving forward and if biden like i said is able to take enough lead to where they kind of become that point. Joe biden and kamala herself more than 72. Million popular votes right now thats the most ever and the lead in the popular. The vote count is about 3 and a half million for team biden and harris. Of course the popular vote doesnt matter in president ial elections, but should the electoral continue the way its trending you know you talked about the baton which has 6 Electoral College votes of biden and harris can get in a vat of that would put 2. 70 and give them the win it would be the defeat of an incumbent. How rare is that. Yeah actually is pretty rare just because its so difficult to do and theres usually an event that coincides with it when you look back in history. Vietnam, the iran hostage crisis sagging economy of course its very easy to find one in 2020 and the coronavirus pandemic but just looking at exit polling done. It seems that this election at least was more of a referendum on President Trump himself. Do voters like him do they like what hes accomplished over these past 4 years that they want to give him another term or do they not like him and they want to cut it short and making a one term president. All right jesse always good to hear from you appreciate your insights, jesse to know are rather late for you tonight as well.

These drugs include small amounts of heroin. Cocaine and lsd so instead of jail time someone would now have to pay a 100 fine or undergo a health assessment. Lindsey nad ridge explains. Theres still a lot of work to be done before the measure goes into effect february 1st money from marijuana taxes will now Fund Treatment programs so a statewide Grant Program needs to be set up. The Oregon Health authority also has to appoint an oversight and Accountability Council to oversee the distribution of money think like any measure that passed by the voters theres a whole list of things that can happen that can be funded and now its time for us to do that prioritization and that prioritization might look different in different counties which is also why its important to think about how this gets distributed equitably central city concern could be one program that sees for funding. Ccc is Public Policy director Mercedes Celis all day says this is about making sure there are more services for people to access across the state some places might need treatment beds but other places might need peer support and Service Navigators because they have beds but they dont have the support Services Keep people connected. Washington County District attorney kevin barton who was outspoken against the measure says his office will see fewer possession of controlled substance cases as a result of the measure. However he says its hard to know the full impact this will have on the criminal Justice System and if it will in fact help more people get drug treatment it is a first of its kind in nation. Experiment were going to see the results of that experiment play out i think over the course of the several years time. Barton also says its unclear how diverting marijuana fans will impact other programs i think theres a number of questions that are just unanswered so concerns around financially what will happen because were taking money that had been earmarked for and were redirecting some of the marijuana money and that revenue for a different purpose.
