are heading out today. the u.s. postal service pushed back on former president trump for questioning the agency's ability to help carry out the election. >> abc news reporter perry russom has the story. >> today, postmaster general louis dejoy says former president trump is wrong to question the postal service's ability to deliver ballots. trump calling it a poorly run mess, saying it's not possible for the postal service to run are already being mailed in multiple states, including pennsylvania, georgia and wisconsin. early in-person voting begins tomorrow in virginia. it comes as the u.s. intelligence community reveals a new claim about iran's efforts to interfere with the election. accusing iranian hackers of stealing nonpublic material from former president trump's campaign and then sending it to

individuals associated with president biden's campaign. biden's campaign ending nearly two months ago. it's not clear how much material was taken or how sensitive it was. the joint statement makes it clear no biden campaign official asked for the material, and there is no indication the informati was ever used. the harris campaign says it was not sent any material and pushes back on iran's efforts to interfere. >> i think these latest attempts are nothing new by the iranian regime. it sought to undermine democracies around the globe for years. but of course, they're absolutely troubling. iran should not interfere in our elections. >> vice president kamala harris has an event with oprah tonight. oprah is an independent who endorsed harris at the democratic national convention last month. perry russom abc news, washington. >> all right. joining us now, abc seven news insider phil matier. and we're talking about a new survey from the public policy institute. and one of the findings is that proposition 36, which would increase penalties for some crimes, is leading in the polls by a mile. 71%. so

what does that tell you about how the pendulum is going back and forth? and it's really swinging towards more justice. >> it is really interesting. remember, it was not that long ago that california was known for the three strikes you're out law. the three felonies you go in for life. people thought that that was just too onerous. it was too troubling, and it put too many people in jail. so in 2014, with the encouragement of jerry brown and some big donors, they went to the ballot and said, let's change that, le decriminalize. let's let minor use of drugs, let's increase the number of the dollar amount of stealing before it becomes a felony to $950. it was meant to reduce the prison population and also to bring some what they call social justice to the court system. it did. but the other unintended consequences was that it's led to a skyrocketing in shoplifting and other property crimes. and so ten years later, we have the district attorney's association. we have walmart,

target, we have retailers, we have mayor london, breed of san francisco and the mayor of san jose saying, no, it's time to change it. and over the objections of the governor who tried to keep this off the ballot, a new one goes on 36. it would basically say, put some teeth into the current law. it would make it an offense to be in possession of drugs like fentanyl that were before would be a misdemeanor. it could go up to a more serious charge. the idea is to get people into treatment and also on property crimes. it would it would make repeat shoplifters, felons, something that the governor didn't want. so it looks like a swing back and a lot of people are behind it. yeah. >> i mean this is probably too simplistic, but it almost feels like the reverse prop 47 in 10 years. that's some major whiplash, right? i mean, so let me just ask you, like, since 2014, that is right. >> no. but you know, it is. it is major. but to a lot of people, let's say if you were sitting in indiana, you might go, oh, it's a minor correction,

or we're trying to just fix it or so. so it's not completely off the rails, but here it becomes a do or die situation when you incorporate social justice. and gavin newsom saying it's a return to the war on drugs because we're going to be charging people for fentanyl and drug crimes, other people go, no, it's just a sign of the times. and you're right, kristen. it is a sign of the times. whether we elected a progressive district attorney in san francisco, chesa boudin, he was recalled pamela price, the progressive uh- da in alameda county, is facing a recall crime. is the number one issue on california voters minds and public safety. and this is a reflection of it. >> i think if you talk to the people in indiana, they would say, what is going on in california? the whole country just wonders that. but it's clear there is that a lot of people think we're heading in the wrong direction, and they want to get it, want to get it turned around and that's another thing that the poll found was that a majority of people felt that california was going in the wrong direction and that the nation was going in the wrong direction. >> so if they're looking for a

correction, find a center lane. >> wow, that is eye opening, phil. thank you. all right. >> coming up, a shopping struggle. and it could put stores out of business. plus pictur

they also said you couldn't escape from alcatraz. but watch me do both. other candidates want to tear down san francisco, but i'll build on what's already great to make it even better. with expanded rent control, new homes for the middle class community policing to reduce crime, and an inspector general to root out corruption. let's get to work. paid for by aaron peskin for mayor 2024. financial disclosures are available at sfethics.org
