And theres still no clear winner in the president ial race now heres where the electoral votes stand as of right now about is the only Western State that has not announced the results of the president ial election out of the 270 needed to vote. President trump has 214 democratic challenger joe biden has 264. Now this means biden needs to win one more state in order to get to 270 and as ballots are still being tallied we heard from both president ial candidates throughout the day yesterday kron fours Ella Sogomonian has more. 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 in controlled 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 why 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 but this. Well not be. My victory alone our victory along be a victory for the American People for democracy for america. There will be no blue states and red states when we win. Just the United States of america. For kron 4 news, im Ella Sogomonian. Well in addition to the presidency. Weve also been watching how congressional races have been playing out. So all seats of and you know scrambled him the senate. It appears the gop will maintain control so right now both parties hold 48 seats with 51 needed for a majority, but it just does not appear as though the democrats flipped enough seats to actually make that happen. Democrats picked up a seat in colorado where former Governor John Hickenlooper won the seat also in arizona where mark kelly won the nomination. And then the gop flipped a seat in alabama where former College Football coach Tommy Tuberville defeated doug jones and in maine incumbent republican Susan Collins held on to her seat as it south carolina, republican lindsey graham. Now those were all seats that democrats thought that they had a legitimate chance to win. Meantime Speaker Nancy Pelosi is on track to keep control of the house. Well not all propositions passed thats including the ones that poll suggested would pass without a prop for a problem proposition 15 chipped away attacks. Protection on commercial properties, lot of folks who are concerned about this now if passed it would have dramatically increase taxes taken in by cities and also by the counties proposition 16 looked at repealing proposition 2 09 that actually blocked affirmative action at schools and Public Employees are public Construction Contracts and then there is proposition 25 calling for the no cash bill for those arrested for a crime. The chief justice of the California Supreme Court supported this as did many other democrats including governor newsome however, the majority of voters did not you can find a election result the whole list on our web site want to see it just head over to kron 4 dot com. We have an can down for you there. Well Business Owners and staff assist are reacting to the passing of proposition 8 which speeds up the often grueling permitting process for Small Businesses that are looking to open up in the city. It also allows for a smoother pivot and Business Models for owners impacted by the pandemic from forest haleps aqi spoke to a bar owner, who played a large role in putting this proposition together. Opening the Small Business in San Francisco just became a lot easier. Voters passed proposition age which amends the planning code and 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 and San Francisco and represents 400 other bar owners as founder of the San FranciscoBar Owner Alliance lyman says. The previous long permitting process would often take up to 16 months in cars, Small Businesses, hundreds of thousands of dollars before even opening their doors. The process that joey new chair 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 bus nesses move more page 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.

So thats been a problem with not releasing a camera body footage so by getting direct access to these files to all the investigative files. The Police Commission can immediately start their investigation when some allegation of misconduct occurred. The Oakland PoliceOfficers Association was in favor of the measure passing and they say it will help them put a stronger focus on stopping crime.
