Liccardo in the november runoff, but heres the important part. As of last week, San Mateo County is working with the u. S. Postal service and other partners to resolve the status of about 16 ballots that are still in their envelopes. We have not received a response from San Mateo CountyElections Officials about the status of those ballots, but with the margins this close, just four votes, it could certainly change the result. The Santa Clara County registrars office, using this as another reminder to voters that every vote counts. In the last election, we had a tie. This election that was a tie. There were a lot of people think that their vote doesnt count, but every single one counts. This is separated by four votes. Now you know what i mean. So even if its like a tiny, tiny part of the entire cast of ballots, it still has a big impact on every single part of the process. So its important for people to make sure they dont just register. They actually go vote to now, this afternoon we asked low, simitian, and liccardo for their reaction to these recount results. At least these preliminary results. Each of them had nearly the same message. Essentially, this is not over. We will wait for a final decision on the remaining challenged ballots in San Mateo County. So here is what happens next. We wait on the final recount results from that county. Santa clara and san mateo will submit their results to the secretary of state together, and then she will certify the ultimate outcome and determine who will move on to face liccardo in november. And again, if all things are the same and they result in another tie, all three guys, they all go, okay, so quickly, those 16 votes that were those from the original election. And i know its complicated as to various reasons why they are kind of hanging in the balance. What happens with those . So i talked to the assistant registrar of San Mateo County last week talking about those 16 ballots. Those were always there, but there was a dispute over what and when they were postmarked with the United States postal service. So theyre working with the usps and other partners to determine exactly when those votes came in. Did they make the deadline and are they eligible to be counted . And as you can imagine, as we have seen, that is a slow and tedious process because you absolutely want to get it. Its almost like an investigation. Its exactly right. Yeah, it really is. And its not to say that these things couldnt further be challenged if candidates wanted to take it there. So weve still got some waiting to do. And tomorrow is may 1st. So its been a while. All right greg. Thank you greg. All right. Well, propalestinian protests are now affecting about two dozen universities nationwide is a growing number of demonstrators are calling on these schools to separate from israel during its war in gaza, Columbia University is limiting access now to its campus today after dozens of protesters took over an Academic Building overnight in north carolina, Chapel Hill Police arrested dozens of people after they refused to leave campus, and some schools, like ucla, have largely relied on private security guards to monitor the protests here in the bay area, encampments have emerged at uc berkeley, stanford, sonoma state and sf state, but so far they have largely remained peaceful. And after eight days of demonstrations at cal poly, Humboldt Police moved in overnight and took two dozen people into custody. A local reporter covering the sweep was detained in the process. Ktvu is christian captain talked with her and joins us now live from San Francisco state, where another protest is still underway. Christian. Yeah, well hear from that reporter in just a minute. But first, lets update you on the situation here at San FranciscoState University. We were out here this time yesterday. There were about a half dozen or so tents. You can see that the protest, the encampment here in the main grassy area just outside the Cesar Chavez Student Center on the San FranciscoState University campus, has grown quite a bit. There are about two dozen tents here now, and dozens, if not hundreds of people Law Enforcement presence that weve seen here. Meanwhile, in humboldt, very different story. Overnight, police there broke up that protest out in humboldt. And now were hearing from those on scene as it happened. We need you out of the way. Okay . Keep tv reporter adele ruiz was recording and reporting on her stations Facebook Page from cal state polyTechnic University, humboldt, as Police Detained her along with demonstrators at the university as they moved in to clear protesters from siemens hall on campus. Ruiz was detained, photographed and transported from the scene by Law Enforcement, losing one of the phones she was using to broadcast and record what was unfolding in front of her. That second phone actually ended up being swept away, as well as when they were, moving my hands towards behind my back. It slipped out of my pocket and i couldnt get it. Obviously, the officers didnt get it. So there is a piece of news equipment out there at Cal Poly Humboldt right now. You were told multiple times to leave. Otherwise youre going to be arrested. What i can my job, my job has been here all night. Well, find a different job, ruiz was on scene as authorities moved in on the demonstrators who taken over siemens hall more than a week ago as part of their protest against the war in gaza, and as part of their effort to get the school to disclose and divest from companies doing business with israel in all, authorities arrested at least 25 people. At first, they were detaining the people that were out in the quad in the little courtyard area. Thats the those were the first people that got detained. Protesters face a variety of charges, including unlawful assembly, vandalism and assault on a Police Officer. Humboldt county put out a call for help monday looking for mutual aid from Law Enforcement partners up and down the state. San Francisco Police sent ten officers and a sergeant, the Police Association saying officers gave up their days off to assist, assure safety and protect everyones First Amendment rights. The Sheriffs Office also sent for deputies, saying Law Enforcement from San Francisco has experienced with mass protests, and that provides a unique skill set to assist smaller Law Enforcement outfits in San Francisco. We do get a lot of opportunities or numerous opportunities to work with mass arrest, when they come up, as always, we try to give everybody the freedom to express their First Amendment rights. We only get involved if disruptive or activities or crimes occur. Now, a statement from cal poly Technic University president Tom Jackson Jr reads in part, quote, this is a difficult day. It breaks my heart to see it. And truly, nobody wanted to see things come to this. Weve all watched this with great concern and always with the sincere hope that it would be resolved peacefully. Unfortunately, serious criminal activity that crossed the line will, beyond the level of a protest, had put the campus at ongoing risk. That again from the president of cal poly technic up in humboldt. Meanwhile here on the San Francisco state campus, the protest continues. We are live here on the cal State UniversitySan Francisco campus. Christien kafton ktvu fox two news. All right, a lot to watch, a lot to monitor. Christian. Thank you. And tonight, a live look at capitol hill where these growing protests have grabbed the attention of congress. Lawmakers are now considering a bill to pull federal funding from universities facing antisemitic rhetoric. As foxs Rebecca Castro reports, at least one member of the Biden Administration now agrees with republicans in the house that some of the protests have just gone too far.

Its the latest escalation, as students at universities across the country continue to defy campus rules and washington is taking note, smashing windows with hammers and taking over University Buildings is not free speech. It is lawlessness. A bunch of little babies that dont understand the reality of the world around them. This is out of control. Weve got to. Weve got to protect the, the, the innocent students there. House Speaker Mike Johnson plans to bring an antisemitism awareness bill to the house floor this week, which could redefine whats classified as hate speech. It could also pave the way for protesters to Face Criminal Charges and allow lawmakers to cut federal funding to universities that dont control antisemitic behavior. If theyre not doing their job, everything should be at risk. Their whole enrollment base. Do you think parents are going to send their their children to these schools that theyre seeing total, total anarchy . The white house condemned the protesters violent rhetoric, something the secretary of education reiterated tuesday afternoon on capitol hill. I think whats happening on our campuses is abhorrent, hate has no place on our on our campuses yet some lawmakers think those are empty words. The Biden Administration is utterly failing the American People right now and failing the Jewish Community across this nation. And i ask you to do more. Columbia officials now say students who broke into Hamilton Hall could face expulsion from the university in washington. Rebecca castor, ktvu, fox two news new at five dozens of google workers who were fired for protesting the tech giants contract with israel are now trying to get their jobs back.

Israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu says he is still planning to invade the Southern Gaza city of rafah. More than a million palestinians, most of whom fled other parts of gaza, are sheltering in rafah, as are members of hamas leadership. For going to try to save the lives of those in rafah. Then they need to be putting pressure on hamas to lay down their arms and quit fighting. In this moment, the only thing standing between the people of gaza and a cease fire is hamas. Hamas previously demanded a permanent cease fire and complete withdrawal of israeli troops, but u. S. Officials are hopeful hamas will accept a six week deal and the release of dozens of hostages for larger numbers of palestinian prisoners. Alameda County District attorney pamela price will face a recall election. But exactly when that will happen is still up in the air. Our crime reporter, henry lee, is here now. After attending a board of supervisors meeting today. Henry, what are you hearing . Well, julie, that meeting is still ongoing as we speak with members of the public weighing in as to whether there should be a special election to determine the das fate at a cost of many millions of dollars. Recall price, recall price, recall price, dueling rallies by those who want to recall Alameda County da pamela price. Public safety is priceless, and those who want her to stay put. Stop scapegoating price, stop , stop scapegoating price. Today. This is it. Okay . The recall is going to happen. This is the first ever recall happening in our county. Yes, recall organizers carl chan and Brenda Grisham want the board of supervisors to set a date for the recall, but they had to compete with an equally vocal group of price supporters. We arent here to argue with anybody. You you guys have had your chance. This is our press conference. This is for the victims. The progressive price will face a recall after organizers gathered enough signatures. The only question is, and its a complicated one, when any election would be at a meeting tuesday, the board of supervisors were told by the registrar of voters it could be a special election that could cost 15 to 20 million or be consolidated with the november election for 4 million. Alameda county is not for sale. We had a democratic election. We the people spoke at a News Conference of her own price, accused recall organizers and the registrar of cherry picking what rules to follow. So now what we have is if were going to have an election, its a remix election and therefore thats undemocratic. The state Fair Political Practices Commission has opened an investigation into alleged Campaign Disclosure violations by the financial arm of a group that wants price recalled. There have been a lot of financial irregularities, coupled with the irregular, practices of the signature gathering, the registrar told supervisors the preference is to include the recall as part of the november election. Prices attorney, jim sutton, agrees. If they want to move forward with the election, if they dont agree that its illegal, why would they do a special election . Why would you waste 20 million to have an election thats going to held like two months before the november election . Its bandied about today as far as a potential special election. No decision yet as to whether it would be a separate election or folded into the november election. Now, just about the only thing anyone could agree on. It will happen on a tuesday.

Firefighters have been at the scene of a commercial building fire all day in concord, mopping up and checking for hot spots. The flames were first reported around 1030 last night at the building located on clayton road in park street in the downtown area. This is right across from the bart station. Service was not affected overnight. The front part of that building actually collapsed in the flames. It took firefighters more than 2. 5 hours to put this fire out. The roof was collapsing down onto the structure and some of the exterior walls where collapsing both externally and internally.
