>> good morning. so far the commute is going well. we don't have any major crashes or anything like that to report this morning. so our map right here of the bay area roads looks pretty much to be in the green other than from tracy to dublin, which is always a little slow spot. there and here's a live look outside at our bay bridge camera, and you can see traffic is flowing nicely here. chp has issued a high wind advisory for the bay bridge, so just keep that in mind when you're driving here this morning guys. >> thank you so much gloria. breaking news in the north bay where police activity is forcing several road closures. it's happening in santa rosa. police say stony point road between bellevue avenue and todd road will be closed indefinitely. todd road, between stony point road and moreland avenue is also being impacted. the santa rosa police department says the sonoma county sheriff's office is handling the investigation. no word yet on what is going on. the chp is also there. abc seven news reporter lena howland is on her way to the scene, and she will bring us a live report once

she arrives. >> happening now. interstate 80, in the sierra is closed this morning as caltrans struggles to clear the roads after this weekend's blizzard. a 70 mile stretch of the road has been closed for days because of the intense winds and the snowfall. caltrans crews have been working to get i-80 clear, but they have faced a big hurdle. you see, only eight of their 30 snowblower crews are working right now. whiteout conditions near donner summit. stranded drivers who had to be rescued yesterday. many roads in and around lake tahoe are still too dangerous to be on some ski resorts remain closed. yesterday as residents started to dig out of their homes, and that could take a while. snowed all day yesterday. >> and then today we woke up to about a foot and a half of fresh snow. my neighbor's house is the snow is almost up to the top of their their doorways started trying to blow their snow blower, but i might have broken it. >> so me and my buddies are trying to fix it and get it running. >> chp is still urging drivers

would have been out a long time ago. >> the former president barely mentioned haley over the weekend on the campaign trail, but the spokesperson trump sarcastically congratulates her on being named, quote, queen of the swamp by the lobbyists and dc insiders. trump is likely to pick up several hundred republican delegates when voters head to the polls tomorrow. reggie. gloria >> thank you. the us supreme court could rule today if donald trump can be kicked off the ballot in colorado. trump is challenging a groundbreaking decision by the colorado supreme court. it ruled he is disqualified from being president again and ineligible for the state's primary because of the constitution, insurrectionist clause and his involvement. in january. six illinois and maine have also barred trump from their primary ballots, but those decisions are on hold pending the outcome of this colorado case. by the way, polls are open in california just about 24 hours, and the bay area is playing an important

role in the final push to super tuesday. democratic representatives adam schiff and katie porter both held events in san francisco yesterday, hoping to secure additional support. the latest polls show shift in a statistical tie with republican steve garvey. katie porter is trailing both. >> we have a handful of billionaires who are literally spending millions to try to prevent me from getting to the senate. why would they do that? it's because they don't want someone who's going to address the income inequality that we see in this country. they don't want someone who's going to stand up for workers and consumers. >> as you know, we feel good about where we are and the team we built and the support we're getting. but but we'll, you know, if we're successful on tuesday, as i hope and believe, we will be, we'll we'll be ready for november. >> we did reach out to steve garvey's campaign. they declined to comment at the top two candidates after tomorrow's primary advanced to november. that means if two democrats win, the seat is guaranteed to remain blue. if a republican and a democrat win, it could mean millions more in campaign

spending for the rest of the year. the other candidate in the race for senate, barbara lee, was campaigning in irvine over the weekend. she focused on the younger generation. just days after releasing a sweeping climate action plan that emphasizes resolving racial and class disparities in environmental matters. >> first of all, young people uh- your uh- generation is the generation that we all are fighting for. i am running for the united states senate, not for barbara lee, but for you. >> lee has served the east bay as a us representative since 1998, and we are making it easy to get informed ahead of tuesday's election. >> on the front page of our website, we have key races to watch and ways to get registered to vote. you can watch the election results. the instant they come in at abc7 news.com. stay with abc seven news for election night tomorrow. our full team of reporters and experts are fanning out across the bay area to keep an eye on the races that matter to you as the results come in. our
