5:07 am
julian? >> good morning. this was the big one aside from the presidential race and speaking with voters yesterday, they told me prop 22 drew them out to the polls and with 11.4 million votes cast and counted, voters overwhelmingly passed prop 22 voting yes at a very decisive manner siding with the rideshare operators like uner and lyft. this means delivery and ridesha rideshare drivers will be classed as independent contractors. those fighting for a no-vote were looking to maintain ab85, things like minimum wage, paid sick leave and unemployment insurance. some companies argued making drivers employees would drive up wait times and increase costs. the voters overwhelmingly siding with the money in this race. this is the most expensive
5:08 am
proposition in california state history. those ridesharing companies pooling together 2$200 million o make sure this measure passed. indeed it did. reporting in downtown san jose, julian glover, abc7 news. let's look at prop 19. this lets home owners 55 and older pay lower property taxes if they move while raising taxes for some people who inherited property. right now with 99% of precincts reporting, yes, 52%. no, 48%. this needs a simple majority to pass. here are the results for prop 19. it increases commercial property taxes for education funding. currently 52% of voters saying no, compared with 48% saying yes. prop 21 would allow local governments to pass rent control measures on almost all housing. this was decisive. 60% to 40% a no on that rent

5:10 am
friday. here you go. our cold front comes through while we're sleeping. it gets noisy, windy with scattered showers in the overnight hours. by the time 7:00 rolls through, the cold front is through, we're in a lull until the colder air rolls in. when it does, it scatters showers and thunderstorms with the best chance of thunderstorms being over the ocean. you can see even by 5:00 we have scattered showers. those will continue into the evening hours. first wave, this is one of our higher resolution models that we talked about yesterday. we would finally get to look at them today. as we head through friday, if you get caught under one of these scattered showers or thunderstorms, possibly a third of an inch of rain. not everybody is getting wet. don't expect it to be a gradual rain or steady rain for everybody. there's more shower potential as we head through the weekend. it looks like friday's may be heavier. more on this coming up. let's get over to jobina and talk about the morning commute. >> i'm bringing in the map first here, i want an overall picture of what's happening in the bay

5:16 am
would plan to make. we're waiting to see what legal steps president trump actually takes. >> no winner has been declared yet in the presidential race that's because a lot of mail-in ballots and absentee ballots have to be counted. here's where the candidates stand this morning. abc news is reporting that joe biden is ahead by 12 electoral votes. a candidate needs 270 votes to win. you can see biden at 225, trump at 213. at home, here's a look at measure rr. voters in san francisco, san mateo and santa clara counties weighed in on this. it would create a 1/8 sales tax for the next 30 years to provide 1$100 million for caltrain ever year. currently people have supported this. 70% of voters say yes. 30% say no. at this point only 75% of precincts are reporting. we'll wait on that. to the south bay they're
5:17 am
expecting a record breaking turnout for the election in santa clara county. the registrar of voters expecting turnout of up to 90%. the county registered more than 1 million voters in the lead up to the election, that includes a san jose resident who lived in the u.s. for more than 30 years but it not voted until now. >> feels so good. first time now i feel more american. you have to do it, no matter what. >> more than 514,000 ballots have already been counted. more than 700,000 ballots were submitted by mail, drop box or early voting as of yesterday. the registrar of voter's office expects more ballots to arrive in the coming days. let's talk about stress. so many of you feeling it, right? many people say they're, of course, feeling nervous and anxious as swing states continue to count these votes. we told you this might happen. experts say a lot of the tension being felt by voters can being caused by unsubstantiated talk of voter fraud.
5:18 am
dr. jen ashton is advising those feeling extra stressed this week to monitor their behavior. >> if you're turning to drugs, alcohol, food, high-risk behaviors as a coping strategy, that's an indication that you need to seek professional help. >> dr. ashton says check on your loved ones, friends and family because everyone is feeling something right now. >> isn't that the truth. i think it's just part of just not knowing. i think once we have answers or results, a lot of us will feel better because we know what's going on. this flux, it's unsettling. >> we just have to take it hour-by-hour, day by day. >> keep moving on. >> does the fact all three of us are wearing purple reflect our
5:19 am
moods? >> we're in sync, my friend. >> jobina, too. let's get through today. let's go and then we'll get back to the politics. 48 in san jose. you can see the clouds increasing like they did yesterday. it will become sunny with a couple degrees of warmth added to today's temperatures. a chance of showers and thunderstorms friday, saturday, sunday. gusty winds and much cooler all weekend. nothing has changed with our highlights. just a day closer and a day closer to seeing it unfold. the fog forecast, you can see by noon, most of the fog is gone out of the bay and even some pockets of sunshine developing along the coast. let's see how our temperatures respond. down in the south bay, 74 in sunnyvale and milpitas. 77 in san jose. some 80s in morgan hill and gilroy. head up the peninsula, mid 70s. 73 to 76. mid 60s along the coast to near 70 in downtown. south san francisco, sausalito.
5:20 am
mid 60s north bay coasts. 10 to 15 degrees warmer in the valleys with mid 70s to 80 degrees. 71 to 75 along the east bay shore with oakland and hayward at 73. as we head into the valleys, 78 to about 80 degrees. tonight looks like this morning which looks like yesterday morning. mid 40s to mid 50s with clouds and fog in the usual neighborhoods. we'll make a run at record high temperatures tomorrow. and then there's something new. a 1 on the storm impact scale with those showers and thunderstorms possible. that's going to be our best bet, but there's still some lingering showers and thunderstorms possible saturday and sunday. from 70s and 80s to 50s and 60s. >> thank you, mike. our election coverage continues after the break. >> a busy and chaotic night for oakland police. what we know about an officer
5:21 am
5:22 am
we have more election coverage in a moment. we want to tell you about a few
5:23 am
things. a fire in san francisco spread to four homes overnight. this is at 23rd and diamond streets. six people at this point have been displaced because of it. one firefighter is recovering after being treated for exhaustion while putting out this fire. thankfully everyone got out safely. oakland police were responding to several calls about looting overnight. jobina fortson has more on that at the live desk. oakland police say one of the incidents started with a call about a robbery at a marijuana grow. this is on 92nd avenue near international boulevard shortly after 10:00 last night. police say when officers tried to detain some people, multiple officers were hurt. it resulted in an officer-involved shooting. oakland police say they will release more information later today. a short time later right before midnight, police got a call about a shooting on baldwin street. one person was hit. the victim was taken to the hospital but it expected to be okay. a victim of the friend says the shooting happened at cannabis club during a looting incident.
5:24 am
the owner of the club says his building confirms it was broken into and they lost more than $100,000 in product. we'll keep tracking this developing story for you all and bring you more updates as they come into the newsroom. governor newsom spent a lot of time in the bay area on election day. one of his stops was the golden state warriors facility in oakland. it was transformed into a polling site with voting booths spaced out inside. >> an incredible contribution to our efforts to bring out a historic number of people to the polling booths and to get a historic amount of people to support their causes near and dear. >> the governor toured the area and as you can see here also shot some hoops with damian lee. we are coming back with another full 90 minutes of election coverage including the race that the world is watching this morning. here's a live look at the white house. president trump falsely claimed that he won thousands of votes in key states are coming in.
5:25 am
the latest on this too close to call presidential race coming up. here's a look at the major propositions that voters weighed in on in california.
5:26 am
5:27 am
5:28 am
5:29 am
it's not my place or donald trump's place to declare who won this election. that's the decision of the american people. >> this is an embarrssment to our country. a historic presidential race that's too close to call. election officials in several battleground states counting those ballots this morning. here's a look at the electoral map stand rights now. key states we're watching include wisconsin, michigan, georgia and pennsylvania on the race to get 270. good morning. we all survived the night. we'll survive this morning on wednesday, november 4th. >> we want to get to jobina at the live desk. >> good morning. president trump from maturely declared victory overnight but the race is not over. the president and joe biden are neck and neck when it comes to the number of electoral votes they won so far.
5:30 am
according to abc news, biden is in the lead. here's the division of electoral votes. biden has won 225 electoral votes. president trump has 213. the magic number is 270. there are still many mail-in and absentee ballots that need to be counted. last night president trump called the ongoing count voter fraud even though there is no evidence of fraud. >> we want the law to be used in a proper manner. we'll be going to the u.s. supreme court. we want all voting to stop. we were getting ready to win this election. frankly we did win this election. >> biden wilmington, delaware last night. he said it's not his nor the president's place to declare a winner. >> we knew because of the unprecedented early vote and the
5:31 am
mail-in vote it will take a while. we'll have to be patient until the hard work of tallying the votes is finished. it ain't over until every vote is counted. every ballot is counted. >> it could take several days before all ballots are counted. we just learned officials in the battleground state of pennsylvania are planning an update on their counting at 7:30 our time. >> we'll be watching that. thank you. this morning in the east bay people like in so many places are waking up wondering who the next president will be. amy hollyfield is live in pleasant hill talking with residents who are up early or maybe didn't go to bed. hi, amy. >> good morning. you can tell it was a late night. people we're talking to so far are not quite sure what to think yet. so we have a sample for you. a few things we're hearing. starting with a trump supporter who is feeling pretty good. he said he was feeling better last night. he's feeling good about the president's chances of getting another four years in the white house. >> still hoping for trump.
5:32 am
>> i know the state of california is for biden, but yeah, i love trump. >> how do you think his chances are looking? are you feeling good about his chances? are you worried? >> no, i'm not worried. i'm positive 100% he'll be elected. >> yeah. i just hope we get an answer today. yeah. i don't know. it's all -- it's all weird times right now. >> we had cameras at some of the watch parties last night. there was a joe biden and kamala harris watch party in san francisco's mission district. and in marin county republicans gathered in novato to watch the returns. partygoers say they'll enjoy being with like-minded people as results came in. it was an anti-climatic night as
5:33 am
they went home without a clear winner. many hoping that we hear today, though it might be later this week. a lot of people saying they want to move on and put this behind us. reporting live in pleasant hill, amy hollyfield, abc7 news. california voters had to decide on three propositions that would affect property taxes and rent control. let's look at prop 19. it lets homeowners 55 and older pay lower property taxes if they move while raising taxes for some people with inherited property. currently it is leading 52% to 48% with 99% of precincts reporting. it does appear this is going to pass. now to prop 15, it increases commercial property taxes for education funding. as you can see, again with 99% of precincts reporting, this one appears to be decided on the no side. 52% to 48%. and checking prop 21, that would allow local governments to pass rent control measures on almost
5:34 am
all housing that's more than 15 years old. this is a no from california voters. 60% to 40%. prop 15 and 19 races are coming down to the wire. they are still too close to call at this point. prop 19 would change the tax assessment transfers and inheritance rules. so basically if you inherit a home from a family member you'll get a property tax increase on it unless you live there or if it's a farm. seniors here could keep tax savings during moves. prop 15 would require commercial and industrial properties to be taxed on market value. the 12$12.5 billion in revenue would go to schools and local governments. that one still too close to call. it appears california voters voted down two social justice measures on the ballot. let's look at prop 16. the big question for voters, should affirmative action be restored in california? currently as you can see with
5:35 am
72% of precincts reporting, most people are saying no. 56% saying no, 44% saying yes. let's look at prop 25. this would end the cash bail system in california. currently 55% of people saying no. 45% saying yes. 72% of precincts reporting at this point. this is too close to call. julian glover is live in san jose with more. good morning. yeah. in the case of both of those social justice measures voters going no on both of them, being defeated by double digits. prop 16 covered affirmative action and prop 25 would have eliminated cash bail. voters saying no to both of those. prop 16 rejected by 12 points. the no vote upholds a proposition banning affirmative action that was passed by
5:36 am
california voters more than 20 years ago, in 1996. the yes vote would have allowed the consideration of race and s.e.c. in state hiring, contracting anded admissions decisions. it was endorsed by the university of california but still failed. prop 25 would have eliminated the cash bail some argue the cash bail system keeps some behind bars because they don't have the money to pay bail and the risk assessment system would be more fair. those pushing for a no system said the new system would have been profiling. given the amount of support that prop 25 did receive, it seems some people don't love the cash bail system but don't believe in this algorithm risk assessment system that would replace it.
5:37 am
so it appears both 16 and prop 25 are a no for california voters. reporting live in downtown san jose, julian glover, abc7 news. >> thank you. of course we will bring you all the latest this morning as new information comes in. you can find more election results on abc7news.com/election. all right. let's look at neighborhood temperatures and what to expect. fog along the peninsula coast. mid 50s there. clouds spilling into the peninsula. you can see it's 55 in san bruno. the other temperatures where it's clear in the mid to upper 40s. let's look elsewhere. the east bay shore, low to mid 50s. down into the south bay. 47 to 52 the spread across the east bay valleys. visibility dangerously low around santa rosa once again this morning. here's a look at the south bay, you can see clouds rolling in. the marine layer is there, about 48 degrees. that's your really only issue
5:38 am
are the low clouds and fog through the morning commute. all right. i want to show you friday's forecast. the high resolution models are starting to get into that timeframe. look at this. we have a chance of thunderstorms, that means lightning and small hail across all of our neighborhoods. here's the timing. you can see at midnight, up around mendocino county, a few scattered showers with the cold front initially pushing through a shower or two is possible. a break during the morning commute. then the coldest air arrives into the afternoon hours. you can see the showers developing over the ocean. that's where the greatest instability and the greatest chance of thunderstorms will be. some of those do meander over land. if you get caught under one, it could be a hefty downpour especially down in the south bay. let's look at your rainfall estimates. and some areas, no rain at all. that's the nature of scattered showers. other areas if you get caught under one of these showers or thunderstorms, there's a possibility of up to a third of an inch of rain. the winds, they'll start picking
5:39 am
up thursday evening when we go to bed. and look at this, we could be gusting 24 to 40 miles per hour overnight through the hours on friday. wind damage is a possibility also. thank you. good morning, everyone. still just one slowdown coming out of tracy. everything else is looking good. emeryville pretty quiet. a live look here showing you the richmond-san rafael bridge, a few cars westbound. a live look here showing the golden gate bridge. no fog to report. traffic is moving smoothly. >> thank you. coming up, a san jose state university political science professor is joining us live to help us break down the key races. and as we head to break, a look at some of the bay area maoral races.

5:43 am
all eyes on the battle ground states this morning as ballot counting continues. at this time the presidential
5:44 am
race is still too close to call. one of these battleground states to watch is pennsylvania. governor tom wolf tweeted last night there's still more than 1 million ballots to count. he also said i promised pennsylvanians we would count every vote, that's what we'll do. another look now at this map showing how the electoral votes are being divided. joe biden currently leads president trump by 12 electoral votes. as you heard from our live desk, jobina saying it sounds like pennsylvania will have an update at 7:30 this morning. we'll watch for that. to help us break down this this morning we are joined by garrett percival, a political sigh yecience professor at san state. thank you very much for joining us this morning. >> thanks for having me on. >> we're all looking at the presidential election. too close to call. what are your thoughts on the race this morning? >> what a wild night. this is a lot closer than what the polls were indicating both especially at the state level. so, you know, again, it's going
5:45 am
to come down to a handful of states. everyone is watching. wisconsin and pennsylvania, michigan. biden doesn't necessarily need pennsylvania to get to 270 electoral college votes if he can win arizona, nevada, wisconsin and michigan. that would put him right at 270. so though a lot of attention has been given to pennsylvania, it may not turn in the end on pennsylvania. >> are you still looking at states like georgia at this point? do you think joe biden still has a fighting chance there? we know there's some votes in atlanta and dekalb county that have not been counted yet. >> right. georgia is still very close. and one of the challenges for citizens and viewers is to figure out where this vote has come in and where is it still out there. so it's the atlanta area, the metro area where there's still lots of votes. the question is whether there's
5:46 am
enough there at margins enough in favor of biden to get to -- to get that state. of course president trump is hoping to keep those margins low and last night he was saying that he wants the vote counting to stop. so, you know, that's really concerning. i think we need all the votes to be counted everything turned in on election day and by election day needs to be counted. >> let's talk about some of the state propositions. were there any surprises for you as results started to come in? >> a couple of interesting results. one is the proposition 22 where the most expensive initiative campaign in the history of california with app based companies like uber and lyft spending more than 2$200 millio to get this past. the margin of victory there looks to be much larger than anticipated. i thought it would be fairly close. as of this morning there's 57%, 58% of californians who have
5:47 am
voted in favor of keeping drivers as independent contractors. that was a surprise in terms of its margin of the win. and then -- >> can i ask you about that for a second. do you think this will set a precedent? we're the first ones to pass something like this nationwide. is this really good news for uber and lyft throughout the country? >> it is. given the amount of money they spent to try to pass this shows how much money is at stake for these companies. they clearly saw it was worth spending 2$200 million to get this passed. it brings a lot of questions about economic security, workers getting enough access to health care, livable wages, especially in an expensive state like california. this issue is not dead by any stretch. we'll continue to have these in other sectors of the economy as well. >> another big one, prop 16, affirmative action in california. how did you feel that about
5:48 am
outcome? were you surprised at how california voters reacted to this one? >> proposition 16 heading into election day was trailing. most voters thought they wouldn't have enough to get to a majority. this is an issue californians have been discussing and debating for the better part of a quarter century. california is the first state to ban affirmative action back in the 1990s. for a group of californians, if you're under 40 years of age, you don't have experience with affirm tv action. a l a lot of californians are not sure how affirmative action works necessarily. that causes confusion. when there's a lot of confusion, voters tend to vote no. then there was not a broad support among different racial ethnic groups within california to support this.
5:49 am
so it split the coalition that would normally be in support of something like this. >> broadly, looking at california but also nationwide where we went through a tumultuous few months talking about social justice, when you see a proposition like this, whether voters were confused or not, it appears to have failed in california, you see that president trump has essentially matched what he did four years ago so far. we still have votes to count. what does that say about the social justice movement in the country? >> well, the big picture i think i've taken away looking at the results, thinking about last night, this is a country really divided. somehow we'll have to come together, but these are -- these kinds of issues, the divisions that they create and having sort of this division stoked by the president have been deep. we're seeing that in clear ways with the results of this
