Parents navigating how to continue traditions while balancing it with being covid safe. Heres scott budman. Reporter halloween during the time of covid meant getting a little extra creative. I think this is the safest way we can do it. Giving kids who came out to trickortreat in san jose a wicked time from a distance. Six feet down, no contact. We have gloves and hopefully we have a good turnout. And the kids came even if they didnt come to the front door. Its very weird, but we are very lucky to have family nearby and people we know are safe and practicing safely. Reporter on a night everything seemed upsidedown because of the pandemic, it still works and kids still got their candy. It keeps it safe for the kids and for the residents because we dont have that close, personal contact with each other.

We are just two days away from election day. More than 91 million americans already have cast their ballots, more than twothirds of the total ballots cast in the 2016 election. As we told you yesterday morning President Trump and former Vice President joe biden are making their last ditch efforts, hitting crucial battleground states. Yesterday the president was in pennsylvania while joe biden was in michigan. President trump was delivering his final push with four stops in the keystone state and his focus is keeping supporters fired up. The president continued to express his mistrust about Election Results and the wait for those results. As he delivered a stunning rebuke of the Supreme Court that he helped shape, this after the court decided that in pennsylvanias case the commonwealth gets three days beyond election day to count all the mailin ballots. Of course now that our United States Supreme Court has delayed everything, a very interesting evening, and i wonder what happens during that perpd of io delay with the ballots. I wonder what happens. Pennsylvania holds 20 Electoral College votes. President obama and his Vice President were together again in person for the first time this campaign season.

Today in the bays Sergio Quintana was in San Francisco where an early voting election tent has been set up for nearly a month, but the pace of people coming in is finally picking up. Reporter the close of business at San Franciscos early voting station means there are now only three voting days left in the 2020 election cycle. The ongoing coronavirus pandemic means lots of people are having to change up their voting routines. I always vote in person on election day, but this year its a little bit more important to get my vote in early. Reporter at chase center red boxes were all set up for people to drop off their ballots this is part of an unprecedented effort by pro sports teams to open up their arenas as voting sites. I think its great that so many people are voting and were obviously trying to give everyone as best access as possible to make voting as easy as possible. Reporter warriors head coach steve kerr was among those who lined up to deposit a completed ballot in the official drop boxes. So far theres a record turnout of early voters. In california more than 9. 4 Million People have cast their ballots, which is already about twothirds of the number who voted in 2016. At that rate it could be a record high voter turnout in the golden state and the bay areas most populous county, they opened 100 early voting sites this weekend, one of those sites is levis stadium. It doesnt matter where you live in the county, you can go to any vote center and theyll have a ballot customized for you if you dont have your ballot. If you are not registered to vote and you want to vote you can do that at the same time. Reporter oakland arena is one of 100 early voting sites open in Alameda County. Jennifer decided she wanted to vote in person and brought her brother along with her. He was not going to vote. He was going to stay at home. I was like, lets go. Lets do it together.

I believe the count is up now 81 million ballots cast but now at 91 million up more than 100 from this time in 2016. You see the breakdown here. 61 of those ballots were mailed in. 39 were cast in person. Here in california more than 9. 3 Million People already have voted. Thats up 128 over the last president ial election. Remember, this year california did mail ballots to every registered voter. That probably explains why more people have voted by mail than in person. 79 by mail. 21 in person. Lets zero in on the bay area now. This map shows the percentage that have already come in per county. Sonoma county, san mateo, contra costa and San Francisco counties have seen more than 50 returned so far, even higher for marin county where 62 of ballots already have been returned.

We take you live to our weekly conversation with chuck todd who has a preview of this weeks meet the press. One more thing for uc Berkeley Students to do, what theyre required before tomorrow if they want to return to campus. Welcome back. We now bring in chuck todd, moderator of meet the press. As always, thank you for joining us this morning. I cant believe we are finally here two days away from election day. I feel like weve been talking about this for months, years, decades. I do want to talk about that but i feel like i need to ask you about the new stimulus package thats not happening and not helping any economic recovery as we get into the final hours before the election. Which party do you think it will hurt the most, which candidate, that they havent passed another recovery bill . I think if the mind of the virus is on a voter, that is a bad likely to be a bad vote for the republicans. Overall we see in our polling that if you are more focused on the virus, just the handle of the virus, youre voting for joe biden, youre likely voting democrat overall. If youre more concerned about the economic ramifications of the virus and the lockdowns, youre a donald trump supporter and we show that concern is very narrow. Whats interesting 4139. Weve seen a shift in independent voters, really believe the virus needs to be focused on more so than the economy which then leaves you who gets that blame this is where republicans on the ballot are nervous they didnt get the relief bill before the election. And then this chatter they may not do one in the lame duck. I will say this, if democrats sweep on tuesday, i promise you, youll see a very big lame duck covid relief bill probably before christmas. Wow. That is a prediction indeed. And regarding the potential of democrats sweeping of republicans keeping their strong hold, weve heard about all the votes that matter, right, the gender gap, the youth vote, energized seniors, other groups that have come out this year. Which group or groups do you think are likely to help either candidate to victory . I think the most important shift is what weve been seeing with seniors. If that shift is what we see on election day first off, seniors vote. You talk about the young vote if it shows up is a big advantage for joe biden. Look, young voters, theyre more transient. They just vote less frequently. Older voters, particularly voters over 65, they vote. They always vote. So you shift a point or two among seniors and you shift a whole much bigger piece of your pie of total overall votes. That, to me, has been the biggest shift, i think the most important one. Lets be frank here, joe biden has not given the africanamerican turnout he needs in some of these states, is not getting the latino support. Hes doing better with older white voters than Hillary Clinton was. I think its the single most important of all of these groups weve been tracking. I think youre right. I dont know who my mother voted for but she is older than 65 and has not left the house much since march, and she already voted. So, chuck, you are on to something there. Thanks, chuck, as always for your insight. I pray we have some sort of result when we see chuck again in a week from now. Be sure to join chuck for this mornings meet the press. Hell check in with our correspondents and reporters, florida, georgia, North Carolina and pennsylvania, plus he has the results of a brandnew nbc news wall street journal poll that came out this morning. Tune in to meet the press right after this newscast. We hope you stick here because coming up in about 30 minutes from now, our election coverage continues, our bay area focused election coverage. Well talk to our little analyst Larry Gerston for our weekly segment. Turning now to our coverage of the covid19 pandemic with cases soaring. Hospitals struggling to keep up with demand, several european nations are now reimposing coronavirus lockdowns and england is one of them. The uk has hit 1 million covid19 cases. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson issued a lockdown. It starts thursday and doesnt end until november 2nd. Bars and restaurants can only offer takeout. Nonessential shops must close and people will only be able to leave home for particular reasons. Less restrictive but im afraid from thursday the basic message is the same. Stay at home. Protect the nhs and save lives. The new restrictions would apply only to england, wales and Northern Ireland already are in lockdown. Scott land is under a set of tough regional restrictions. Here locally the pandemic in the u. S. Has hit nearly 100,000 infections on friday. The surge in covid coinciding with the arrival of halloween, deep concern about campus activity, football games, rivalry games, possible parties, experts now say halloween could be the newest super spreading event. So well have to see in about a week from now. Taking a look at the bay area where cases continue to climb, Santa Clara County added the most confirmed cases with 121 at last count. Contra costa and Alameda County both added more than 100 cases. San francisco, which paused its reopening plans, added 79 cases. And students and staff at uc berkeley now have one more thing to do by tomorrow. They must get a flu shot. All students and Staff Members must get the shot before tomorrow unless they have a medical exemption. Uc already requires vaccinations against measles, tetanus, chicken pox. They say they added the flu shot requirement to reduce the burden on Health Leaders on campus who already are fighting covid19. And as weve been discussing halloween this year was not only different because of the pandemic but also because of the rare blue moon known as the hunter moon. Check out this time lapse of the moon rising over san jose. A blue moon, of course, means its the second full moon in a single month. Lets check in now to see vianey arana for a look at our microclimate forecast. You told us about the blue moon. We were talking about the time change. Its already november 1st. Its really cold this morning. You say its going to be hot today. Theres a lot going on. Yeah, its going to be one of those california days where you need layers because it starts out chilly, youre thinking, okay, today is the day i get to rock my fall wear and then by noon it warms up into the 70s and then in the afternoon were in the 80s, kira. Hey, layer up. 47 degrees in walnut creek. A beautiful view there. It will be a little hazy at times yet again today. So san jose 48 degrees right now. And, again, if you got great shots of the full moon last night please feel free to send them to me and ill give you a shout out. Lets talk about your microclimate highs. It will be a warm day. Well be in the 70s around the coastline including San Francisco with a predicted high 76 degrees. Take a look down to the south bay and in through the interior valleys, in the mid80s, 835 this concord. 83 in napa. Definitely not very novemberlike, and were going to get a couple of coastal clouds, a couple of high clouds rolling through here. However, even though it will be comfortable when it comes to the temperatures around the coastline, its not going to be a great day to head to the beach. Its actually going to be rather dangerous. A beach hazard statement in effect due to dangerous waves and the possibility of seeing pretty strong rip currents. That will be in effect through the entire coastline and the bay area. Please be careful if you do head over there. Its going to be sunny and nice. Never turn your back to a wave. Thats where you can easily get caught up. As far as your air quality forecast, dealing with moderate air quality from the north bay down through the south bay. Overall pretty good. Remember, i talked about that haze. Theres still a couple of active fires burning that could drift smoke near the Central California area in our direction but we dont expect any winds for today. I think were going to have an overall lovely sunday at least for the first november. We have a couple of changes ahead, and i want to talk to you about what were expecting. Election day is on tuesday, november 3rd, and it will be dry and sunny for election day. So thats great. Theres no weather to get in the way there. And as we kind of fast forward this time line in towards the middle of the week were going to get the return of high pressure. It will continue to dominate. And were going to get some warming in the middle of the week. Now by thursday night into friday we get a shift in our weather with the drop of a system, a cold system coming from the gulf of alaska thats going to turn our weather breezy and, get this, its going to bring us our first real chance of seeing some rain. Right now the timing is looking like friday night into saturday. Now as far as how much and the exact track of that is yet to be determined because we have to see if this is going to fall more inland or will head out into the ocean. So the good thing it looks like were going to get a good chance of seeing showers heading into friday night and saturday which we definitely need it and look what will happen for the temperatures. 76 for San Francisco. By next saturday well be dipping down into the 60s and were going to dip down into the 60s even for inland areas. So even if we dont get a lot of rain out of the system were definitely going to get a noticeable drop in those temperatures. Kira . And we need it. Vianey, thanks so much. We do have much more ahead on today in the bay coming up. If you loved seeing it on stage, maybe youll like seeing it in your closet, too.
