Guest commentary — HR 1 For the People’s Act – Making Democracy Work

On January 4, 2021, H.R. 1 For the People’s Act was introduced and is currently being reviewed by Congressional committees.  The bill provides an opportunity to expand and protect voting rights, get big money out of politics, hold elected officials accountable and assure our democracy is representative of all Americans’ voices and values.

The vast majority of Americans support this bill, including 56% of Republicans.  Special interests spent $14 billion to influence the 2020 election, the most amount of money spent on an election in the history of the U.S.  

Letter to the editor — Post Election Expectations

November 3rd is Election Day, but we may not know all the election results for days or even weeks afterward. This doesn’t mean anything is wrong. It just means our elections officials are doing everything possible to make sure every vote is counted and the election results are accurate.

Letter to the editor — Topic: Don’t Expect Election Results on Election Night

For California, this election will be like no other election before. Voters should not expect all election results to be called or announced on Election Night as in previous elections, and that’s okay.  With more mailed-in ballots a delayed result means the system is working as it should to ensure the integrity of our election process.  Broadcast networks did not begin election night forecasts until the 1970’s.  And they are just that “forecasts”, not results.  The vote is only final when all the votes are counted and certified by the Secretary of State on December 5th.
