His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.","avatar":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g","twitter":"MarkFiore","facebook":null,"instagram":"https://www.instagram.com/markfiore/?hl=en","linkedin":null,"sites":[{"site":"arts","roles":["contributor"]},{"site":"news","roles":["editor"]},{"site":"futureofyou","roles":["editor"]},{"site":"science","roles":["editor"]}],"headData":{"title":"Mark Fiore | KQED","description":"KQED News Cartoonist","ogImgSrc":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g","twImgSrc":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g"},"isLoading":false,"link":"/author/markfiore"},"carlysevern":{"type":"authors","id":"3243","meta":{"index":"authors_1591205172","id":"3243","found":true},"name":"Carly Severn","firstName":"Carly","lastName":"Severn","slug":"carlysevern","email":"csevern@kqed.org","display_author_email":false,"staff_mastheads":["news"],"title":"Senior Editor, Audience News ","bio":"Carly is KQED's Senior Editor of Audience News on the Digital News team, and has reported for the California Report Magazine, Bay Curious and KQED Arts.

If you didn't register and decide you want to vote in person, you can register via what's called \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voter-registration/same-day-reg\">Same Day Voter Registration\u003c/a> (also known as Conditional Voter Registration.) If you're doing this on Election Day itself, you can register and vote at the same time at your polling place — \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/polling-place\">find your voting location here.\u003c/a> The deadline to \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voter-registration/\">register online to vote\u003c/a> is October 19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you are registered to vote, ballots will be sent out in California by October 5 — so you should expect to receive your ballot by around October 15, Alexander says. This is another good reason to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11835370/wheres-my-ballot-track-your-mail-in-vote-with-new-tool#signup\">sign up to track your ballot's progress\u003c/a>, and be reassured if it's on the way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What if there's no sign of your ballot? Again, Alexander says, don't panic, because \"there are a lot of fail safes in the system.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One helpful warning sign, Alexander says: \"If you're not getting anything about the election in the mail, you probably aren't registered to vote at your current address.\" \u003ca href=\"https://voterstatus.sos.ca.gov/\">Check your registration details \u003c/a>and address, and if they're incorrect, update them ASAP before the voter registration deadline of October 19, 15 days before Election Day. Your county elections will then cancel any previous ballot mailed out so that it won't be counted, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voter-registration/vote-mail\">send you a new ballot\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Your county election office won't mail you a ballot six days or less before Election Day, because it can't be sure it'll reach you in time. So if you're trying to get a ballot in the immediate run-up to November 3, go to your county elections office in person and request one at the counter. And remember, you always still have the option of \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voter-registration/same-day-reg\">Same Day Voter Registration\u003c/a>, a.k.a Conditional Voter Registration at a voting location, where you can then fill out and submit your ballot, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What if You Use Assistive Technology to Complete Forms?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Remember, getting physical assistance with filling out your ballot from someone you trust is always fine, whether you're voting at home or at a voting site. You just need to make sure your signature is your own, and matches the one you're registered to vote with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Voters with disabilities can also choose to use the \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voting-resources/remote-accessible-vote-mail\">Remote Accessible Vote-By-Mail \u003c/a>system to vote privately and independently at home, using their usual assistive device on their home computer to fill out the ballot on their screen and then print and mail it. (This year, Remote Accessible Vote-By-Mail is actually available to all voters who need it, under emergency legislation passed earlier this year in light of COVID-19.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every voting location in California is also equipped with an accessible voting unit. Here, voters who are sight-impaired or have a disability that limits their dexterity will be able to use the assistive device of their choice that allows them to vote privately and independently.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Tip: Look Out For the Young Voters in Your Life\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11837810/study-finds-young-voters-more-likely-to-have-mail-ballots-rejected\">Young voters are the most likely to have their ballots rejected\u003c/a>, according to the data — and there are good reasons for that, Alexander says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most obviously, they're newer to voting in general. But they're also likely to be less familiar with how the U.S. Postal Service works, especially when it comes to issues like collection times and post office hours. Younger people are more likely to conduct a lot of their business online, and therefore have less familiarity with activities that require a written signature on paper, like writing checks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>\u003c/b>Younger voters, Alexander says, also get their ballots rejected more frequently than other voters due to signature mismatch. Why?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We think that's really stemming from the fact that many of them are pre-registering to vote, or registering at a very young age before they've actually formed a signature,\" she says — especially if they're making that signature with a stylus while registering at the DMV. Her advice, once again: Check the signature on your driver's license or state I.D., and make sure it matches what you're signing on your ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11840829\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11840829\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/pexels-daniel-xavier-1239291.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/pexels-daniel-xavier-1239291.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/pexels-daniel-xavier-1239291-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/pexels-daniel-xavier-1239291-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/pexels-daniel-xavier-1239291-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/pexels-daniel-xavier-1239291-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Make sure the young voters in your life get the support they need this election season \u003ccite>(Daniel Xavier/Pexels)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>All this, Alexander says, means younger voters \"have a knowledge gap there that they have to overcome.\" So if you're able to spend five minutes helping out a young person in your life who wants to vote this year, it's time well spent.

Officials know this, she says, because the majority of those ballots that have previously been too late to count have been postmarked on the day immediately after Election Day: \"which tells us that people likely put their ballots inside mailboxes that had already been picked up, or took them to post offices that had already closed for the day,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11840819\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1900px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11840819\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Photo-by-Element5-Digital-from-Pexels.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1900\" height=\"1267\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Photo-by-Element5-Digital-from-Pexels.png 1900w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Photo-by-Element5-Digital-from-Pexels-800x533.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Photo-by-Element5-Digital-from-Pexels-1020x680.png 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Photo-by-Element5-Digital-from-Pexels-160x107.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Photo-by-Element5-Digital-from-Pexels-1536x1024.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mailing or dropping off your ballot on time is of paramount importance. \u003ccite>(Element5 Digital/Pexels)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The issue of lateness is exactly why it's recommended that voters return their ballots early, Alexander says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The United States Post Office recommended mailing your ballot no less than one week before Election Day — so if you're reading this a few days before Nov. 3, and you \u003cem>haven't\u003c/em> submitted your ballot yet, at this stage it's recommended you submit it by hand at a drop box specifically for vote-by-mail ballots, rather than using a USPS collection box.
