Grassroots groups staged this rally along the embarcadero today demanding that every vote be counted. Happening now, sky 7 is over San Jose City hall where a group of Silicon Valley faith leaders is making an urgent call for every vote to be counted. Theyre joined by 25 major Silicon Valley nonprofits to promote a peaceful transition regardless of who wins the election. Abc 7 News Reporter chris reyes got their reaction to the president s speech last night. Today is a nonpartisan act. It is an act of democracy. Its an act we are seeing as a community. Every vote must count. Reporter rabbis, reverends, priests, Community Organizers stood side by side at san joses city hall to voice their concern about the state of Election Results and the anxiety over civil unrest. When the president came to the lectern and when he said the words stop all voting, thevot voting had stopped. What he meant was stop all counting. There is a very real attempt by our current president to stop every vote from being counted. We have already heard the attempt to call the election before all legally cast ballots have been counted. To think that every single vote might not potentially be counted, that is completely unacceptable. And that is why we must stand up for democracy. Reporter faith leaders wore yellow vests to indicate theyre trained in deescalation and ready to step in should there be violence on the streets because of Election Results. Their hope is to train more people in the community to do the same. We have put differences that we might have had in the past behind us, have unified ourselves to say that all votes must count, this must be a peaceful process. We pray that patience is cultivated across this country as our election season proceeds with the essential process of counting every vote. Reporter in san jose kris reyes for abc 7 news.

Abc 7 news anchor dion lim has been following the biden campaign. Shes live in philadelphia tonight. Dion . Reporter dan, it has been an eventful day to say the least. Yes, we heard from joe biden, speak once again from wilmington, delaware and at the same time here in philadelphia all eyes are on the Election Results. And President Trump is ready to contest those. As philadelphia Election Officials creep closer to counting returned ballots our inperson vote totals have also increased as we are at 97 . Reporter we heard from joe biden, maintaining the same confidence in the voting process we saw on Election Night at his watch party in wilmington. Its clear that were winning enough states to reach 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency. Im not here to declare that weve won. But i am here to report that when the count is finished we believe we will be the winners. Reporter contesting that notion, the trump campaign. Eric trump falsely declared a victory for his father in pennsylvania via twitter. His scheduled press conference in philadelphia im very confused as to why theres no theres a lack of transparency. Reporter abruptly rescheduled. Demonstrators calling for a Fair Election quickly flooded the streets. Voter suppression happens like this. It happens with ceasing the counting of legitimate votes. Reporter in a state where 20 electoral votes are up for grabs, where trump won by less than 1 in 2016. A promise of transparency coming from city commissioners. You can see a group of observers from the campaigns standing a close but also safe distance from where all the activity is. Reporter back out here live, Election Officials here in philadelphfil philadelphia also say they are ready to legally defend their record. In philadelphia tonight im dion lim, abc 7 news. All right, dion, thank you so much. With millions of ballots left to be counted, legal battles over Election Results are already under way. Today President Trumps campaign filed a suit in michigan to stop ballot counting there. They claim their campaign hasnt been given meaning. Access to some counting locations. The president last night said he would take it to the Supreme Court. But legal experts say at this point the court wouldnt get involved in the way the president wants. The Supreme Court could decide that particular types of ballots are invalid. But what the Supreme Court cant do and wont do is literally stop the counting. The Supreme Court could also possibly rule on matters involving potential recounts as we saw in florida in 2000. But cases will only reach the Supreme Court after lower courts have ruled. Gig Companies Like uber and lyft are celebrating the passage of proposition 22 in california. You can see the measure is ahead by 17 points with 99 of the vote counted. This definitive win could help Gig Companies redefine labor laws not just here in california but across the country, keep in mind. Abc 7 News Reporter kate larsen spoke with labor experts and local lawmakers about whats next. Reporter the prop 22 victory means uber and lyft drivers in california like tonya will not become employees. It is a devastating day for us for sure. Nobody likes to lose. Reporter it was thought to be a close race, but seen in green, 58 of california voters overwhelmingly approved the proposition. Most of the bay area in red voted no. This is a huge win for Silicon Valley. Reporter dara kerr is a gig economy reporter for cnet. Prop 22 classifies drivers as independent contractors and supersedes ab5, a California Law passed last year that granted drivers full employment and benefits like minimum wage, overtime, paid sick leave and unemployment insurance. It is pretty interesting that there can be laws can be rewritten for specific companies. Reporter in a Statement Today uber said soon drivers in california will be guaranteed a minimum earning standard of 120 of minimum wage and will gain access to important new benefits like health care, Accident Insurance and more. Uber, lyft, doordash and instacart sent more than 200 million supporting the proposition. The most expensive ballot prop in california history. Weve seen over and over again that corporate interests are ready to qualify any ballot measure they want. Reporter San Francisco state senator scott wiener opposed prop 2 and says californias ballot measure which allows paid signature gatherers is badly broken. The ballot measure system was not designed to be a battle of who has more money. We need Campaign Finance reform in a big way. Reporter i spoke to Uc Berkeley Labor Center chair ken jacobs who has researched prop 22. Do you think prop 22 will have larger ramifications for other employees and employers in the workplace . I think this sets a bad precedent. The fundamental question at stake here was do workers have basic rights in the workplace . Reporter most ago this debate is not over by a long shot, including the no campaign. We are hoping for a biden outcome of course because on a federal level it will be easier for us to fight for workers rights. Reporter kate larsen, abc 7 news. The victory at the polls sent uber and lyft shares soaring up more than 14 and 11 respectively. Those gains were part of a huge day for the techrich nasdaq. It finished up nearly 4 . Proposition 16, a measure that would have repealed the ban on affirmative action, failed with 56 of the vote. The results in the bay area are even more surprising. Abc 7 News Reporter stephanie sierra breaks down the latest totals. Reporter following the death of george floyd theres been a hunger for change. What the protests around george floyd taught us earlier this year in california is that people do want to play a role in fighting against systemic racism. Reporter christian aranno was hopeful that fight would come with proposition 16. The measure would have repealed the ban on affirmative action, allowing the government and public universities to consider people based on sex, race, ethnicity, or nationality. But the polls show california clearly wasnt ready. With more than 11 million votes cast, the majority pushing the measure out including most of the bay area. We knew that this was going to be an uphill battle. Reporter the measure passed with a big margin in San Francisco and slightly smaller margins in alameda, marin, and san mateo counties. The measure lost by less than 1 in sonoma, santa clara and contra costa counties. Around a 10 loss in napa county with a 13 loss in solano county. Eva patterson, who cochairs the yes on prop 16 campaign, told abc 7 months ago the polls indicated the measure wasnt doing well, partly because people were confused. Black voters in los angeles, they all said no, we will not vote for this, as it was read to them. Then when we explained that it was in favor of affirmative action and equal opportunity they all went, well, of course well vote for this. Reporter thats where the measure predominantly failed, losing in qulaernlg margins in Southern California counties outside of los angeles. I think it was very disappointing. Its disheartening. Reporter john jacobo, the chair of the San Francisco latino task force, was shocked and concerned about the misinformation. I think its the way that it was marketed and sold as this idea of excluding someone else based on race is what people probably felt wrong about. Without thinking of the fact for generations theyve been excluding people just because of their race. Reporter stephanie sierra, abc 7 news. Now, you can find all the latest results for local races, props, and keep an eye on that president ial vote total on our website, abc7news. Com election. More to come here.
