Reporter in san jose, chris nguyen, abc 7 news. As the bay area faces issues of race and social justice, we want to help. Just head to our website, a be, c abc7news. Com take action. To politics, were five days away from the election on tuesday, november 3rd. Early voting broke records in california. Governor newsom and his wife are among those who voted today early. They went to the golden 1 center, the Sacramento Kings arena to cast their ballots today. The arena is one of several the nba is using as a voting site. The kings are doing about as well as anyone possibly could. One of the most pristine and extraordinary voting expert ensys in terms of the organization and cleanliness and friendliness of the staff. The warriors practice staff is a polling and ballot drop off site and San Francisco voters can drop their ballots off outside the chase center, the new arena and city. Both facilities will be open saturday through election day. Horses arent a common site in downtown oakland but this was a ride with a purpose. Urban cowboy breanna noble hopped on her horse today and called out others to join her and head to the Alameda County courthouse to drop off their ballots using any mode of transportation they have. By car, bike, skateboard, for me by horse, any means necessary, get out and vote. Your vote is important. Every single vote matters so get out and vote. Noble dropped off her ballot. Never seen that done by horseback. California voters have a dozen propositions to decide. The last one on the ballot that is prop 25 in 60 seconds. Two years ago california would have become the first state to eliminate cash bail for jailed suspects awaiting trial. The law was challenged so it hasnt taken effect. It a referendum to replace the cash bail system with Risk Assessments instead. A low risk would determine whether a detained suspect would be pretrial release and under what conditions. Governor jerry brown signed sb 10 two years ago to create pretrial assessment recommendations. It was described as ground zero in the Justice Reform from shifting what can pay bail towards protecting public safety. The american bail collision organized against the reckless bail scheme and the effort to repeal sb 10 by getting prop 25 on the ballot. Making strange bedfellows, the acl us opposed to sb 10 for different reasons. There is racial bias in the Risk Assessment that needs to be addressed. Thanks to liz. One of the hottest issues is prop 16. If it passes, it would repeal the pan on affirmative action. It would allow for treatment. We heard from both sides of the issue on our getting answers program today at 3 00. If you take this moment in history where you see Racial Disparities in this pandemic, racial inequality during this economic recession, protests on the streets because of structural race sis l aism and d gender disparities women on the front lines during this pandemic are making 80 cents on the dollar and women of color making 60 cents on the dollar, we dont have equality right now. Thats why we need to pass prop 16. Leading from the constitution, protection from discrimination or preferred treatment is being packaged as helping the disadvantaged. That is not true. Prop 16 is about allowing disadvantage to be defined in terms of race and sex. Disadvantage is more complicated than that and we should reject prop 16. Very contentious issue. Prop 16 is losing. The poll found 49 oppose it, 38 say they support it. We shall see. We have a guide to all 12 state propositions on our website. You can read arguments for and against and see where your party stan stands. Youll find it at abc7news. Co abc7news. Com election. Weve been going for online because of the pandemic including school.
