one of the most closely watched races here in the bay area. and two big recalls are on the ballot in the east bay. a close at the recall process as the oakland mayor and alameda county da fight to keep their job. plu, multiple storms hit just hours apart. this video from witnesses saying suspects took everything they could. we'll have more on that in just a moment. but good morning everybody. it's november 3rd. i hope you enjoyed that extra hour of sleep. i know lisa and i did. >> oh yeah, totally new people here. yeah. good morning. we are looking at a much drier day today, not only because the cold front has pressed on through, but because we have northerly winds in its place. and look how gusty it is. we're looking at a fire here. you can see from this live camera and the winds are shaking that camera. of course we'll investigate that. looks like a car fire. 57 san francisco. it is 60 in hayward. that's our emeryville camera over into the east bay right now. golden gate bridge 60 by the delta. and temperatures are on the milder side as we get

into those winds in the north bay, 2 to 6 degrees warmer, but cooler where the winds have not made an impact yet. so over 20 miles an hour there up in novato, the coast, all the way from bodega bay to the san mateo coast will be increasing to about 30 miles an hour. so i've stopped this at 1045. and the yellow indicates how much drier it will be throughout the afternoon today. and this is because of those north winds all day long into the evening hours that elevated fire risk will ease up a bit tonight, but then we have another couple of days in the middle of the week that we're going to have to be watching. so upper 60s to low 70s for most of us today, that afternoon, high reached at 330 in the afternoon because of the time change that 5-08 sunset tonight. stephanie. >> all right. lisa. thank you. two days out now from election day. and one of the most contentious races here in the bay area is the race for san francisco mayor. the candidates are going across the city in a last minute push for votes, as recent polls show. it's going to be a close race. abc7 news

reporter cornell bernard caught up with the leading candidates for top candidates for san francisco mayor. >> now in the homestretch, making a final pitch to voters. >> this race has so much at stake. >> incumbent mayor london breed is seeking another term in office this weekend. she's telling voters that she's battle tested after protecting the city during the pandemic. but there's more to do. >> this is not a place for on the job training, and this is a serious city with a serious responsibility. we're on the rise, and i hope that voters see it. >> mayoral candidate mark farrell is getting out the vote with last minute and undecided voters in west portal. he says crime, homelessness and drugs are the biggest issues facing san franciscans. >> we need a mayor is going to come back and focus on these basics, really do it aggressively with a strong determination. again, a strong vision for where we need to go because those issues affect everything that we do as a city. >> candidate aaron peskin is on the move this weekend in noe valley greeting voters. he says he's running on his experience as a longtime san francisco

supervisor. >> there's a growing acknowledgment that i am the person with the experience with actual plans to move the city forward to address our affordability crisis, to reduce rent costs, and to make san francisco safer in a way that actually works. >> hey, how are you? >> good. nonprofit founder and levi strauss heir daniel lurie says he's proud to be the only mayoral candidate who's never held political office. lurie hopes being an outsider will make him the voters first choice in ranked choice voting. >> everybody i'm running against has had their chance and they have failed this. this mayor has failed to deliver for the people and the taxpayers for six years. now it's time for a change in san francisco. >> cornell, bernard, abc seven news. >> the san francisco democratic party made a push to get people to the polls. they rallied at dubose park. the event was part of a nationwide get out the vote effort. mayor breed, congresswoman barbara lee, state senator scott wiener and district attorney brooke jenkins all participated. now, one of the big issues in the east bay

is the future of the alameda county district attorney's office. the group save alameda for everyone, supports the recall effort of pamela price. they rallied in oakland, saying her policies have fueled crime. we fall price, we fall price, and we stand here and we stand here together because our hearts ache and we want justice. now, price and her supporters have blasted the recall effort, calling it an attempt to silence those who support criminal justice reform. the other big recall in the east bay is against oakland mayor shane tao. so what happens if both da price and mayor tao are recalled? both instances involve a series of steps, and it won't necessarily force them out of office immediately. abc seven news reporter anser hassan explains. >> for the past year, those for and against the recall of alameda county district attorney pamela price and oakland mayor chen tao have made their case. on tuesday, it will be up to voters, the recall to statewide

level is actually pretty rare. it's not used very often, but at the local level, we see the recall used as kind of a gun behind the door, a threat if you will factor. >> david mcewan is professor of political science at sonoma state university. he says if either of the two elected officials are ousted, the mechanism to replace them is quite different. for d.a. price, it's a two step process. d.a. price's term ends in 2028. the alameda county board of supervisors will appoint her successor, who will serve two years until the next general election in 2026. whoever's elected in 2026 fills out the rest of the term until 2028. professor mcewan says what's unclear is just how fast the board of supervisors will move. >> generally, the board would have a meeting within two weeks of the november election, and that's an important element because we may not have certification yet for alameda county. >> he expects a decision will likely be made by the beginning of january. when it comes to the

oakland mayor seat, mcewan says that could be much messier. >> and this is one of the subtle or nuanced messages that mayor tao is putting out there is like, look, if i'm recalled, there's a mess behind me about what happens if mayor tao is recalled. >> tao will remain in office until the vote is certified, which could be mid-december. oakland city council president nikki fortunato bass would take over as interim mayor. a special election must be called within 120 days from when mayor tao steps down. that special election could happen as late as april. but complicating the process is that fortunato bass is running for alameda county board of supervisors, district five. if she wins, she will take office in january. that means oakland's pro tem would take over as city council president and become the next interim mayor until the special election. >> you're looking at a 5 or 6 month period in oakland politics and oakland city politics where you could see literally four mayors in about five months. >> in a statement to abc seven

news, the alameda county registrar of voters, tim dupuy, says he's received over 270,000 votes as of saturday. that's 28% of alameda county voters. dupuy expects 80% voter turnout for this general election in oakland, anser hassan. abc seven news. >> in the last presidential election, almost 87% of voters in california voted by mail. california automatically mails a ballot to each active registered voter. so fill out your ballot, then sign and seal that envelope. and remember, the postage is prepaid, so no need to add any stamps you can return it to an election office drop box or polling place. and if you're mailing it, just make sure it's postmarked no later than election day, november 5th. it can take up to a week to arrive, but your vote will still count. you can also track it online on the secretary of state's website. abc seven news is here to help you navigate through all the races and measures on the ballot. we have a voter guide on abc seven

hour later. police say it happened at around 445 with a large group entering the store, and this video shows them just opening the display cases. you see that just grabbing whatever they could and putting it into those bags, and then the group heads out the door down market street. police tell us. so far, no arrests have been made in either case, and a security guard at the store was also hit on friday in the east bay, three people are charged in connection to an organized retail theft ring. investigators say they operated out of the oakland coliseum. flea market. felony theft charges were filed last week, and the alameda county da's office alleges the trio had heaps of stolen property valued at. get this more than $348,000. the products came from ten different chain retailers, including sephora, target, walgreens and walmart. all right, let's get you outside. how's it looking, lisa? >> oh, it's nice and bright, but we're also looking at a north wind. here is san francisco, where temperatures are in the upper seconds. another ten

allow us to do is get an eye to a location where a problem is occurring, allows us to hopefully deter crime from happening in the first place, but unfortunately, if a crime does occur, give us the evidence that we need to identify, apprehend and prosecute the suspect. san jose leaders view technology like this as a potential solution to public safety issues. they're looking into drones as a firstrillionesponse for police like san francisco has license plate. readers are spread throughout the city to solve crimes and enforce traffic laws . in tuesday, the city council unanimously approved 33 new speed safety cameras. >> folks are dying on our roadways, and we know that these cameras will be effective as slowing motorists down and saving lives. >> but they also create privacy concerns. privacy expert mike castle fears the surveillance community that this new tech creates bay area wide. >> everybody is a potential criminal, and the idea is that if only we could watch people often or not, and catch them everywhere.

>> we will know what crimes they have committed or can link them to specific crimes. san jose has retention and monitoring privacy standards, but catholic hobby says it's important for everyone to be familiar with them as more cameras roll out in san jose. >> dustin dorsey, abc seven news a reminder you can get detailed information about what crime is like where you live with our abc seven neighborhood safety tracker. >> it includes information and trends for san francisco, oakland and san jose. you can find it at abc7 news.com or on our app. well, the golden gate bridge is filled with runners this morning. the 23rd golden gate half marathon and five k kicked off just before 7 a.m. the 13 mile race started along the waterfront in aquatic park, and you can see all those runners there enjoying a scenic course that includes those breathtaking views of the golden gate bridge, alcatraz and the city skyline. the race will finish in downtown san francisco , and runners can finish with a post-race drink at the sf brew

with 57. half moon bay. we have 40. earlier, redwood city 55. there is that flag blowing. the golden gate bridge north winds up to about 15 miles an hour right here is 59 santa rosa 60 by the delta. and those winds are beginning to be felt in our inland valleys. the central valley and the san joaquin valley have wind gusts over 25 miles an hour. right now, in our current wind, gusts range from about 15 miles an hour. half moon bay to over 20 miles an hour in novato. and it has been breezy all night long here. and eventually these winds will push through the delta and allow for 30 to 35 mile an hour winds. so that's why there is that wind advisory from the sacramento valley that extends through the delta. the next two days, dry, breezy offshore winds into the next couple of days. election day, we're sunny, warmer, and we have a mix of clouds and sun. but this is when that second area of offshore flow takes us into the middle of the week. elevated our fire danger into wednesday. that looks like the

windiest day. and then by thursday, the winds begin to subside. here's that wind advisory from fairfield sassoon up towards vallejo. and we're looking at those north winds 25 to 35 miles an hour. common throughout the day, with wind gusts of up to 45 miles an hour. not that windy back home, but look how the winds build here through the afternoon. over 30 miles an hour just on the edge of that wind advisory. and then even into the south bay, the peninsula, the north bay. we're getting winds of over 35 and 36 miles an hour through your sunday, and then even into monday morning, there's a look at the wave heights. right now. they could go up to 14ft as we get into the rest of today and tomorrow with that beach hazard statement 72 getting breezy to windy in san jose and we're also looking at low 70s for most of us as a milder pattern sets up the accuweather seven day forecast that elevated fire danger today into early monday. then looking at slightly calmer conditions into tuesday. but by

tuesday night, election evening , we could have a couple of red flag warnings, depending on how much we dry out today and tomorrow. the national weather service, assessing that midweek forecast, which, you know, november, has also been known to be pretty risky around here. so watch it. >> yeah, it was always a good reminder and uh, to contain that holiday decor as you point it out. >> oh yes, that's right. get it down. if it's not already down exactly. >> for people who are getting ahead early with christmas time, we certainly have seen a lot of that. >> uh, well, still ahead this morning, sleeping pods here in san francisco approved a look inside the building now housing tech workers at an affordable price. seeing you h just opens my heart up again. welcome to the golden bachelorette. >> and tell all to meet with you. >> it's a turning point in my life. >> california wildfires are

take a chance of losing the great state of north carolina to trump, who has been struggling with women voters, repeating that he wants to protect women, especially in the suburbs, and saying again that he is the father of ivf treatments, though he also has taken credit for his role in overturning roe v wade, which led to the attempts to restrict the fertility treatment. >> i consider myself to be the father of fertilization, and his whirlwind campaign schedule. >> also, detouring to virginia, a state democrats hope is safely blue. they're saying that people have called him one of the greatest presidents of all time . >> they said he's the greatest president that we've ever had. i said, does that include george washington and abraham lincoln? yes, sir. it does. i said, that's okay, i'll take it. but before millions of americans even head to the polls, trump disparaging this election. >> so jesting he will only lose if it is unfair and repeating

baseless claims. democrats cheat . >> if god came down and agreed to be our vote taker for one day, just one day, god would only need one second. actually if he came down and he was going to be our vote taker, meaning if we had an honest election in california, we would win california. >> trump has never won the popular vote, he told his crowd in virginia. he hopes to this year. but then he again hedged and made false claims about election interference. let them cheat, because that's what they do. >> they do it very well. they're very professional, but i think we have a really good chance to win the popular vote in the final days of this race. >> trump also musing about being somewhere else. i'm going to work my job for you. >> and i didn't need this. i didn't need to be with you today . i could have been at a gorgeous beach in lots of places . >> his speech is primarily focused on his dark, anti-immigrant message trump

sharing emotional stories from family members who've had loved ones killed by undocumented immigrants, promising to launch a mass deportation operation if elected, he will put these blood thirsty criminals in jail or kick them the hell out of our country and inviting members of the roanoke college swim team on stage who spoke out against transgender women competing in women's sports. >> we won't be changing your children's gender with their transgender craziness. >> now, one stop on the campaign trail for vice president harris was saturday night live. if you were watching last night, the presidential candidate portrayed herself alongside actor maya rudolph last night, who plays harris on the show. the skit involved rudolph nervously preparing for a campaign speech and as you see in these photos, harris appeared in a mirror dressed identical to her. and it's a similar skit donald trump did back in 2015 when he appeared on nfl, snl. in his first presidential bid, harris made her first appearance on the

show, which has seen several presidential candidates over its decades long run in battleground states where former president trump and vice president harris are neck and neck voters are being bombarded. abc seven news reporter monica madden gives you perspective through their eyes. it's a very different vision. >> if you think we see a lot of campaign ads in california, just imagine the battleground. >> president trump fights for you. >> there's been about a billion dollars worth of presidential ad spending in swing states between july 22nd through october 8th, and reporters at our sister abc owned stations in battleground states, confirming our assumptions about how voters are taking it. >> exhaustion. >> people are tired of seeing the ads and hearing the debates in pennsylvania could very well determine the outcome of the presidency. >> and our colleague brian taff says it's a responsibility. voters there don't take lightly. >> we realize that we're right smack in the middle of this whole thing, and our vote really has the potential to determine who is the next president of the united states. what are kind of

the ads that you have been seeing and what are people buzzing about the most? i'm not making this up when i tell you that every single ad, every single day, on every single channel is about the presidential election, i've not seen an ad for a car or cereal or anything else in weeks over north carolina. >> it's still nonstop, but our colleague joel brown says there's been specific ads on repeat. >> one advertisement that's gotten a lot of attention has been donald trump's attack on kamala harris and talking about transgender inmates within the state prison system. >> kamala harris adds a lot more on, on, on personal and the subject matter of the ads. >> much different than what we're seeing in a blue state. it is the abortion reproductive rights issue. >> it is the economy and it is immigration. these are the three things that are that voters hear are being beaten over the head with on a daily basis. >> what themes would you say are resonating with your state in terms of different issues that we're talking about in this cycle? >> we saw donald trump here in rocky mount, which is about 60 miles away from raleigh

yesterday. he talked a lot about the economy, talked about inflation, talked about immigration as the biggest issues in the campaign. in a big part of his focus, though, was was on the economy. kamala harris was here in raleigh. one of the more urban areas of the state. and a lot of her message has been turned. the page on donald trump. and i know that's resonating with, with with many voters. we heard from them yesterday in raleigh in san francisco, monica madden, abc seven news. >> all right. we're going to take you outside for a live look. >> lisa, we'll have your forecast coming up in just a few minutes. make thanksgiving an unforgettable event this year with inspiring designs from living spaces. >> create a warm, inviting atmosphere where everyone feels welcome and comfortable as you bring together pieces that offer great style and quality. from dining sets starting at just 250 to extension tables and spacious sectionals, find everything you need to host a special gathering with free shipping as soon as next day, you can get it all in

time for the feast. discover the perfect setting for your thanksgiving only at living spaces. >> living space has some say it's impossible to fix san francisco. >> they also said you couldn't escape from alcatraz. but watch me do both. other candidates want to tear down san francisco, but all 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 sf ethics. org hi guys. maybe we were able to run since i was 16, playing live has been a deep and lasting part of who i am. >> i grew up with bruce and he was the most introverted guy you'd ever met in your life. and now he's like the world's greatest entertainer, getting a little mind time moves quickly when you are on the road, but

it's too late to stop now. >> liam payne, loved by millions of fans. >> it's literally so heartbreaking tonight on abc. >> morning everybody. a lovely day here in argentina. >> the price of fame fans started to get worried about his behavior. >> from what we can tell, liam was in a state of panic. >> the fact that the police raided the hotel means there's probably more to the story. >> how did we get here? how is this even real? the liam payne story tonight on abc. >> i'm sure many of you watching can agree. we're all getting flooded with texts, emails, flyers and door knocks as campaigns make their final pitch and it's no different on social media on friday, the fbi confirmed their investigating two fake videos related to the 2024 election. the first, posted on x, falsely claims the agency apprehended groups committing

voter fraud by voting twice in georgia. the second involves second gentleman doug emhoff. now both are fake and investigators say they appear to be the work of foreign actors, particularly from russia, china and iran, aiming to raise tensions ahead of the election. so what should you do if you spot this type of content? joining me live now is perry carpenter, a chief risk management strategist at know before, a security focused software company. perry, thanks for being with us. yeah. thank you so much for having me. >> so, perry, in may, the chairman of the senate intelligence committee warned the 2024 election will likely be the most attacked by malicious, malicious foreign actors. >> what tips do you have for us on how to spot fake election related content? >> yeah. >> so unfortunate. >> we online with digital disinformation. it is increasing really difficult because the actors that are putting these

out are very sophisticated in general. however the biggest thing that we can do is to raise our own awareness that these kinds of attacks are happening and they are attacks. they're not things that are just benign in nature. these are state foreign actors seeking to destabilize the us. and so the best thing that we can do is, number one, raise our awareness . number two, realize that these are trying to sow a narrative. there's a story behind these and they're playing on our emotions. they're trying to sow division in and they're trying to really poke those areas where we already feel divided. and so the biggest thing that i always tell people is just, uh, the, the one thing that we can really, really do is just take a breath and slow down and realize that social media is there to create engagement. and when we put that little angry face on it, or we

make that angry comment all that's doing is getting more engagement. it's getting more eyeballs on it. so when you can slow down and report it or even better, break away and look for secondary coverage, look for trusted sources that you already believe in and then can start to branch out your own investigation. perry how are you seeing ai impact the speed and scale of how misinformation is spreading online? that's a great question. and so since that chat, gpt moment in november 2022, we've seen an escalation in in generative ai. this ai that's very good at creating things. and people can create imagery with text to, uh, text to image as, say, i want to create a long line of voters. uh, you can create that and put that online same thing with text. and so it's in increasing the capabilities of anybody that wants to. so confusion or discord as also in, you know,

creating great opportunities for scammers around the world. and so it is just right there. and it's one more tool. it's not the only tool. it's maybe not even the best tool right now, but it is one more tool. >> yeah, a very important reminder to stay vigilant. uh, perry, thanks so much for your time and insight this morning. thank you. and a reminder, abc seven news is here to help you navigate through all the races and measures on the ballot with valid, verified information. and we have a voter guide over on our website where you can look up races specific to your county . you'll find it under the election section. now to this we have a story about liam payne's body. now being released to his family. more than two weeks after he fell from his hotel room, balcony in argentina and his funeral is expected to be sometime this week in england. new details have emerged in the investigation into his death, and sources are telling abc news police have reviewed

surveillance footage and it shows exchanges between a drug dealer and a hotel employee. the hotel apparently is now a key part of the investigation, detailed in a new 2020 episode back that the police raided the hotel means there's probably more to the story. >> you can catch. >> price of fame the liam payne story a special edition of 2020 on tonight, right here on abc seven. it will air at 10:00. how's it looking outside, lisa? >> well, we are getting dry conditions with very windy conditions, not only locally but in the sierra nevada, where temperatures today will be in the 40s. gusty winds and then overnight lows with a dry wind in the mountains. 17 degrees here. so back home, the wind will warm us up. but we too will be watching for heightened fire danger. my full accuweather seven-day forecast is next. >> lisa, thank you. also next, a look at how the warriors fared last night without their star player. how steph curry is doing with his ankle injury.
