following the larry elder campaign. but we begin with abc 7 news anchor liz kreutz in sacramento. liz: hi. governor newsom is feeling so confident that he will defeat this recall. his aide told reporters last night that he sees no scenario where he loses. today we did speak to the founder of the regatta -- the recall petition. he says regardless of the outcome he hopes governor newsom learned something from going through the process. in the final hours of the recall election, governor newsom made one last campaign stop in san francisco to thank supporters and give his final which last-minute motors. >> if we don't this recall, larry elder is the next governor of california. [crowd booing] don't boo, vote no on the election. >> that message was at

card the president last night. he compared larry elder to former president trump. >> he is a clone to president trump. can you imagine him governor of the state? liz: democrats are feeling confident that newsom will defeat the recall. they believe their strategy to cast the recall as a power grab by the extreme right wing will be successful, in large part thanks to larry elder. >> larry elder has been the gift that keeps on giving. the perfect foil for what they needed, somebody to be running against strength, and larry elder personified trump for that. liz: the recall begin a year ago when a sergeant with a choice's office filed the petition to begin gathering signatu at the time his efforts seem like a longshot, but frustrations over the stay-at-home order and address over newsom's dinner at the french largely, helped boost the campaign and seal the deal.

now he tells us regardless of the outcome, he hopes newsom learned something from going through the recall process. >> homelessness, the spike in crime. our water supply issues. things that are important, near and dear to the people of california and what we need. liz: no matter what happens, it seems like you feel like you already won. >> the mere fact that we generated a conversation that needed to take place for so long, that is a victory in and of itself. liz: while the polls show that governor newsom will likely defeat the recall, the strategist who we spoke to their says newsom needs to be able to beat it by 20 points in order to feel confident going into his reelection campaign next year. if he only defeated by a slim margin, there is a chance another democrat could try to run against him.

live in sacramento, liz kreutz, abc 7 news. dan: leis, larry elder in the last few days has been suggesting voter fraud. what is newsom's team saying about that? liz: it was interesting, at the campaign event in san francisco, governor newsom brought this up and prompted, in the context of donald trump in the "big lie." the big lie about election fraud. he used it is another reason that voters and supporters should go out and vote for him today. he said, if you don't get this recall, you will end up with someo like larry elderne. kristen: now to reporter lauren anthony. lauren: this is where larry elder will spend his election tonight in costa mesa in orange county. it is a party that will not start until about 7:00 tonight.

raised the specter of voter fraud in this election. he has a link to a webpage that encourages people to report any bullying direct -- any voting irregularities. he also stated in interviews that he thinks this election could somehow be stolen from him. in orange county, laura anthony, abc 7 news. kristen: if elder beats the recall -- if newsom beats the recall has elder said whether he would run again next year in the next election cycle? lauren: elder didn't enter the race until just a couple of months ago. while he was well known among conservative circles as a radio show re. throhitohe ring year. so far, he is not answering. kristen: laura, thank you so much. republican candidate caitlyn jenner cast her ballot this

office has identified the woman drugged and killed at the san francisco wall street bart station as 41-year-old amy adams of san francisco. >> it was automatic. melanie: he was on the platform witnessed adams' body being dragged. he says the victim was on the platform with a dog tethered to her waist. she boarded the train with her dog, but at the very last second as the doors were closing, she got off the train. she cleared the doors, but the dog did not. the train departed with the dog in the train, and she was dragged and pulled onto the track. the dog was not hurt. >> everybody was in shock. melanie: not ntsb investigators will spend a week investigating documenting the train and platform as well as looking at the functionality of the door system and operational procedures for directing passengers getting on and off the train. >> they will be gathering any types of sources of recorded data. these could be video surveillance. there can be recorded data at

he lost a nine year battle with cancer that he kept private. he was a writer for the sitcom "roseann" when he was picked to join the s&l cast in 1993. he had a short sitcom on abc in the late 1990's called "the norm show." norm macdonald was only 61. after a nine year battle of cancer, he succumbed. and he was an icon in so many ways in custody, and somebody that spencer knew. spencer: we weren't close friends, but we spent some time in each other's company. a lot of fun to be around, an interesting, clever and funny mind. dan: a quick mind. spencer: exactly. you know weather moderate onshore breeze is, generally 15-18 miles per hour. weaker in most inland areas. a few low clouds are beginning to push out over san francisco.

64 in the city, oakland, 72. 80's in mount -- mountain view and san jose. clouds at the golden gate as you can see. napa only 75. 71 in santa rosa. 98 in fairfield. mid-90's in concord and livermore. so there is still some pretty warm weather inland. the view from mount tam. and these are our forecast features, more low clouds and fog near the coast and the big overnight. a much cooler pattern develops tomorrow and continues the next few days. and there is a chance for showers this weekend. i will get to that in a moment. but first, a look at tonight, we will see the continuation of the marine layer redeveloping and pushing locally over the bay. and we might see a spot or two of early-morning drizzle. there is enough moisture content and approaching low clouds that there could be a couple of damp spots. tomorrow is another date much

like today in terms of bright skies, but a lot cooler. overnight lows will be in the 50's. highs will range tomorrow from the low 50's at the coast, to the 70's in the bay shoreline. in land mid-90's today. . we will probably be in the mid-to-upper 90's tomorrow. friday morning, noticed the rain developing well to our north. some of it may work its way down along the coastline and through the bay area saturday into sunday, quickly move out, leaving not a lot of brain behind. we would get 0 mostly sunny but still cooler than average on friday. cooler still over the weekend as we get an increase in clouds and a chance of some showers mainly in the north way.

but they could reach other regions as well. the next week, gusty conditions over the hills. raising fire concerns we don't have any alerts or advisors. , but bear that in mind. by mid week, we will be warming up a again. san francisco, street will be closed through september 26. still to come, more witnesses in the trial of theranos founder. elizabeth holmes have the latest from

kristen: day two of theranos founder elizabeth holmes' trial began today. today the jury began to hear testimony from a former employee of inaccuracies from the company buy's blood analyzer. reporter: a theranos lab associate took the stand, telling jurors she quit after about six months over concerns about the accuracy of the company's blood testing device. daily quality control tests would sometimes fail, and in an email produced by the

prosecution, another employee acknowledged that on another occasion, flawed results were ignored in order to pass the quality control process. another witness also testified that during his time at theranos, the blood analyzer could perform only one blood test at a time, while another device made by another company could run multiple tests at the same time. this could help with the government's case, that the theranos technology wasn't delivering to investors, doctors, and others. >> it was not clearly something that was ready for prime time. but it some point she started to represent that this technology works, and that is when she should have made sure that it would actually work. reporter: defense attorneys are likely to credit the employer as -- the employee as a low-level employee. but we also heard from the comptroller who tracked the capital from investors. her spreadsheets detailed how theranos plowed its cash into research andevelopntsi

th 's deficito group even as it attracted new investors and signed blood testing contracts. holmes is expected to testify at some point, but there is no indication yet how soon. in san jose, david louis, abc 7 news. kristen: you can learn more about the trial in podcast hosted by abc news anchor rebecca jarvis. new episodes drop every wednesday. you can listen wherever you stream your podcasts. dan: apple held its virtual event getting more than 2 million views over youtube. the main attraction was the new iphone 13. it will have a bigger battery. the screen will be 28 percent brighter. the camera will also get upgrades, including a new ultra-wide feature. >> with industry-leading performance and the world's most advanced camera systems, and with privacy built in

[laughter] kristen: that seems completely aspirational to me, but i think the recent versions have been really good, solid technology already we will see. if they pickup the real enthusiasts.

has been no evidence of fraud. three california secretary of state, dr. shirley weber attempted to ease the fears. >> california has probably the safest elections in the nation. even though we are the largest state, we have several things in place-we re-check and verify all machines in use, we use special paper for our ballots. we have a system, we train our workers. our staff works around-the-clock to make sure every question is asked and answered. we work very hard to make it secure, and we are accustomed to, all of us in this nation, accustomed to people talking about fraud without any allegations or specific information as to what is fraud. kristen: joining us right now is abc 7 news insider phil matier. we will be talking all night about the election results later as the polls close after 8:00. but first, governor newsom has

been leading in recent polls. do you see any potential rules for him tonight? phil: of course there's going to be wrinkles possible. one of the biggest is not so much whether he wins or loses the recall, but the support he is able to get out of voters, especially democratic voters. polls show he is likely going to be able to beat back the recall, but the entire country and the state will be looking at what margin, and that is one of the big questions there. kristen: he is hoping for a resounding victory. what about looking at water turnout? mail-in ballot turnout so far has seemed to be a boost for the governor, who earlier worried that democrats may not get engaged. phil: it's a boost but not as big a lift-off as many were anticipating. california turnout has been pretty high, in the 60's in previous elections. right now what i am hearing from local registrars of voters here

in the bay area, they are seeing 47% to 88%. that is not -- 47% to 48%. that is not a resounding turnout. something that gave newsom's backers and supporters pause early on was the idea that if the vote was under 50%, that could bode badly for the governor. we will be watching that as the night goes on. kristen: in orange county seems like republicans are showing up in-person more down there today. are there particular areas we need to watch tonight? phil: that biggest areas are here in the bay area. we have a high propensity of voters. that's why many elected officials statewide, now and in the past, come to the bay area, is because we vote. second place is los angeles. the big question there will be whether people will vote down there. if they don't vote in los angeles, that hurts newsom.

if they turnout in san diego and in the inland empire and not los angeles, that hurts gavin newsom. kristen: the fresno and central very -- central valley area why is larry elder already suggesting that he has lost, and that there were shenanigans, on his website, with the "report fraud here." phil: that is the fallback. if you can't win, you cry foul. we see it in sports, now in politics. the date of the election, was it set in order to help the governor? they had a special legislative session to do that. but as far as fraud goes, california is set up with so many different countries, so many different systems there, it is really tough to pull off. you could have irregularities -- it is a human endeavor that involves millions of votes, so you could have mistakes, but systematic voter fraud that actually could swing an election, we haven't seen that here in the state.

kristen: mail-in ballots, they have been part of -- they have been processing them for the past 29 days. when do you think we could have a good grasp of how this will turn out? phil: i think by about 10:00 tonight. kristen: and you know who will be here. phil: yes, you, me, dan and i hope our viewers will hang out. thank you so much, phil, part of our election coverage which starts streaming at 8:00 soon as the polls close. you can watch on abc7news.com, or download the abc 7 bay area news app on your streaming device. dan: and three and half hours before the polls close, immigrant rights nonprofits continue their last push to get california's largest ethnic group to go out and vote. reporter luz peaa spoke with communities who are working overtime to make sure this key group is heard. lucas: in california, there are seven point 9 million latinos

registered to vote, giving them the power to sway the recall election. you voted for change? >> yeah. luz: governor newsom knows the power of the latino vote. they played a key role in getting him elected in 2018, 164% of california's latinos voted for him. but now things are different. latinos were disproportionately impacted by the pandemic, and suffered losses as a result of the shutdown. sam, who historically voted democrat, shifted republican during the presidential election. you want to voices to be heard, for there to be a difference made? >> si. luz: we met a latino voter who preferred not to be on camera, but said he was undecided. susanna rojas and the team are working overtime to target this group of latino voters just hours before the polls close. >> we are: people who either were undecided, or didn't pick up, to make sure we do the last

ditch effort to get everybody to come out and vote. luz: accessibility is key. and licking across this polling place. to the right, you can to the left, you can get a haircut the owner of this hair salon in san francisco's mission district volunteered her business to make it easier for the community to vote. are you coming here to vote or get a haircut? >> to vote. luz: on the left side of the hair salon, sarah waits for clients to both. have any of your customers voted and also gotten their hair done? >> yes. ciertos, not all of them. luz: there hoping their efforts boost latino turnout. >> if this recall were to pass, we would be one of the populations most affected by the recall. luz:. luz: in san francisco, luz peaa abc 7 news. kristen: next, we take things in a different direction. party training.

election, even if they don't request one. so should we give up voting at the polls and just go to all mail-in ballots? who has a thought on that? spencer. spencer: i like the convenience of mail-in ballots. and most california voters apparently do. but i think they are quite up a few people who like the idea of going to a polling place and casting a vote on election day. i don't know if we should just cut it off and force everyone to vote by mail. on the other hand, if everyone votes by mail, wouldn't it save money? because you have to spend money to man polling places, and the machines? dan: i actually love turning out in person. there is a certain american pride you get from seeing people voting, but it is more convenient. drew: i voted by mail for this election, that typically i do vote on the day of the election.

i vote in my neighbors garage, which i think is a very unique thing here in san francisco? [laughter] but i think as many options as we can have two make it, if you don't vote by mail, you can go right down the streets to your neighbor's garage on the morning of, a think both options work. dan: does he still store wine in the garage? [laughter] dan: he might. kristen: before, i would like to see my ballot going into someone's hand at the polling place. but now that they have the tracker, i feel a lot better putting it in the mail, because i can see when it has been received. dan: yeah. a report from the wall street journal reports that facebook operates a vip program that gives high-profile users special privileges. the program called crosschecked, allows a chosen few to elude the moderation policies that apply to everyone else. former president trump was among many afforded the treatment

before being banned. crosschecked allowed them to get a second layer review to facebook profiles to make sure it applied its policies correctly. not sure if facebook is backpedaling on this or trying to explain it. but it doesn't seem quite fair that there is a different standard for some. spencer: not at all. i agree. i wonder who among us is in the chosen few. [laughter] drew: not me. kristen: none of us. i do have a problem with facebook's moderation policy. i know it is imperfect, it probably utilizes a.i. that is deeply flawed. i posted something in jest to a friend. she asked me where is simu liu, from the start of "shang-chi." i said, i can't tell you or i will have to kill you. as a joke. i got a warning. so.

drew: it sounds like they were trying to stop a pr nightmare for helping -- from happening for those who were elevated to this category. taking down something that shouldn't have been taken down by artificial intelligence. but it seems like people are siloed into different categories based on how popular they are. dan: just so you know, kristin is not a threat, facebook. spencer: not so sure. [laughter] kristen: you guys! all right. a new study is showing that potty trained cows could help reduce gas emissions and ultimately save our planets. according to researchers in germany, 11 calves were successfully potty trained to use a latrine that captured their waste and disposed of it before it turned into nitrous oxide, which is the third most troublesome gas on our planet. it is estimated cattle account for almost 15% of all greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. drew and spencer, you both looked into this deeply. what do you think?

drew: methane, which they you meet the -- which they also. it does capture a huge player when it comes to climate change, so i know that in the agricultural sector, they are trying to figure out how do they capture both ma methane and other gases emitted by beef and dairy farmers. it is a huge contributor to our changing climate. i can say this is a bad idea. maybe it will work on a bigger scale, if more farmers can capture the waste of cows. that could be a start to changing the problem. but it is an interesting way to do it, let's say that. spencer: it is interesting, i am fascinated. to know if you can train the vast majority of the whole bovine population. [laughter] but it is interesting. dan: there is another benefit if it helps the environment,

terrific. and we will get plenty of videos for americas funniest videos, on training derrick rose. and now a release from a company that may not have thought all the way through. balenciaga is selling a pair of sweatpants with fake boxers sewn into the waistline for nearly $1200. the parents sparked controversy after a tick user posted -- tiktok posted a video saying it was racist. some black history experts agree, accusing the brand of cultural appropriation. balenciaga tells cnn it combines different cultural pieces into its garments. some will find the price offensive.
