In 2022, California added a field to death records for homelessness status, and this year, \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=202320240AB271\">a law went into effect that empowers counties to set up homeless death review committees to determine the root causes of homeless mortality\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is among several jurisdictions across the country seeking this data. The pandemic put a spotlight on the health vulnerabilities accompanying homelessness, and that has led to growing national interest in the topic, said Barbara DiPietro, senior director of policy for the National Health Care for the Homeless Council. \u003ca href=\"https://www.healthaffairs.org/doi/full/10.1377/hlthaff.2023.01039\">A recent study\u003c/a> from researchers at the University of Pennsylvania and NYU found the death rate of people experiencing homelessness increased 238% between 2011 and 2020.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Barbara DiPietro, National Health Care for the Homeless Council\"]‘Not only is living unhoused very dangerous and high risk for people experiencing homelessness, this isn’t good for communities either.’[/pullquote]“One of the things that hopefully we took away from COVID is that homelessness is a public health issue,” she said. “Not only is living unhoused very dangerous and high risk for people experiencing homelessness, this isn’t good for communities either.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Researchers said the data is critical in assessing whether the state’s public health interventions for people on the streets work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That is how we work to change things,” said Dr. Margot Kushel, director of the UCSF Benioff Housing and Homelessness Initiative. “One of the problems with not reporting it is that it makes it harder to act.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But getting statewide — let alone national — data detailing the number of unhoused deaths requires meticulous reporting on the part of local agencies. In the case of Alameda County, it was a system Modersbach had to build from scratch.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How they count\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>For each homeless mortality report, Modersbach and his colleagues first scour thousands of county death records, searching for clues that suggest homelessness: words like “encampment,” “tent” and “shelter.” They then cross reference that list with a database of everyone in the county who has experienced homelessness in the past five years — itself a bespoke repository that draws on the agency’s healthcare data and records from the county’s shelter and homeless assistance programs. To capture anyone they might miss, they cull information from service providers, media accounts and a public online portal for submitting tips about deaths.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11973859,news_11974385]Since they began tracking homeless mortality, the team has traced an 80% increase in the number of deaths, which rose from 195 in 2018 to 351 in 2022, \u003ca href=\"https://www.achch.org/alameda-county-homeless-mortality.html\">the most recent year for which data was reported\u003c/a>. Over the same period, homelessness in the county jumped by nearly the same amount — or 77% — from 5,496 people to 9,747.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Behind the numbers are snapshots of how and where people are dying. A body found in a car. An overdose at an encampment. People mangled by cars or trains; others charred. Modersbach finds the tableau at once unsurprising and shocking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We see the same inequities in our mortality data that are reflected in homelessness,” he said. Black people are overrepresented, comprising \u003ca href=\"https://public.tableau.com/app/profile/asr1451/viz/TableauAlamedaCounty-HDXandSurveyData/SurveyTOC\">48% of the unhoused population\u003c/a> and accounting for 44% of the deaths — though they represent only 19% of deaths in the county’s general population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People who are unhoused die at five times the rate of those with housing and do so more than two decades sooner — at an average age of 52.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The data shapes decisions\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Most of the deaths could be prevented, said Amy Garlin, Medical Director for Alameda County Health Care for the Homeless.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You could say almost all of these deaths are preventable if you go far enough upstream,” Garlin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The largest share, 44% of the deaths among the homeless population, were caused by acute or chronic medical conditions, like heart disease, cancer, diabetes and infections. Some of those appear to have been more immediately avoidable, Garlin said. “If these people had had medical care, they may not have died this year.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At an encampment along East 12th Street in Oakland, Angel Gonzalez, 40, remembered the friends he’d known there who had died. An asthma attack claimed one, exposure another and a third succumbed to a fever.

Could I still get infected with measles from an exposure like this?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Four years of the COVID-19 pandemic have taught us that being vaccinated against a virus doesn’t necessarily mean you won’t get infected with that virus. The COVID-19 vaccine, for example, does somewhat reduce your chances of being infected — although t\u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/ncird/whats-new/5-things-you-should-know.html\">he CDC said that “protection against infection tends to be modest and sometimes short-lived”\u003c/a> — but it also means you’re much less likely to get severely ill if you do get infected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/measles/about/faqs.html#:~:text=Could%20I%20still%20get%20measles,should%20have%20to%20the%20vaccine.\">the measles vaccine \u003ci>is \u003c/i>incredibly effective at protecting against infections, the CDC said\u003c/a>, and two doses of measles vaccine are “about 97% effective” at preventing measles if you’re exposed. (One dose, the CDC said, is “about 93% effective.”)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for why “about three out of 100” people vaccinated against measles will still get measles after exposure, the CDC said that experts “aren’t sure why” and that this could be due to the responsiveness of an individual’s immune system to the vaccine. “But the good news is, fully vaccinated people who get measles seem more likely to have a milder illness,” the CDC said — and fully vaccinated people “seem also less likely to spread the disease to other people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Remind me: What is measles, and why is it so dangerous?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/measles/symptoms/signs-symptoms.html\">Measles (also known as rubeola) is a very contagious virus\u003c/a> that is spread through direct contact with infectious droplets.

There’s still a lot that needs to happen before voters in Alameda County are even asked to decide whether they want to remove price from office, including one huge decision voters will have to make in just two months about how recalls in Alameda County are run at all. Today, KQED Annalise Finney explains what we know about how the recall campaign is going so far, and the consequential decisions that still need to be made before voters decide on what to do with their DA. Stay with us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>So, Annelise, remind us who was behind this recall and why do they want Pamela, price recalled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>The recall is being led by an organization known as SAFE, which stands for Saving Alameda for everyone. Its two principal officers are Karl Chan and Brenda Grisham. Brenda Grisham is a black woman from East Oakland whose son, Christopher, was killed in a shooting in Oakland in 2010. So since then, she’s become a strong victims rights advocate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>Karl Chan was previously the president of Oakland’s Chinatown Chamber of Commerce. He’s also a realtor. Karl Chan himself was allegedly the victim of an anti-Asian hate crime a while ago. He is often advocating for increased police presence in Chinatown, and very critical of the DA’s treatment of people who are accused of crimes. These two people have really become the face, um, at least within the media, of who the recall campaign represents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Yeah, you’re getting into this a little bit, Annelise. But, I mean, these are two folks who are very rooted in the community in Oakland, at least. What are some of the specific policies of Pamela Price that they’re criticizing?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>Yeah. So generally, they’ve been talking a lot about what they see as Pamela Price being, quote, soft on crime. One particular policy they point to are sentencing enhancements. There’s gun enhancements. There’s gang enhancements. The three strikes rule, which some people have heard of, was also an enhancement. In California, there are over 100 different types of enhancements, and a lot of people are critical of them, not only D.A. price, because studies have shown that enhancements are applied in an often racially biased way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>Pamela Price, back at the beginning of her term, issued a directive that asked her deputies to only charge enhancements in very specific circumstances. And the reason she asked for that is because historically, young people who may be involved in gangs who are black and Latino are more likely 72% more likely to be charged with gang enhancements, which can really bump up the length of a prison sentence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>And I mean, that policy of hers are not really surprising, right? Because this is exactly what Pamela Price ran on. She ran as a super progressive district attorney who really wanted to focus more on how do we address the root of crime, as opposed to throwing more folks in jail. Can you remind folks, analise, that this recall effort actually started well before her first year of office even finished? Right?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>Right. So Pamela Price completed her first year in office this month. But Brenda Grisham says that she really began talks with people about starting a recall effort back in April. And even before that, there was an online petition asking people to sign if they were in favor of a recall. So since her first months in office, there have been whisperings of people trying to remove her from office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Well, what new information have we learned in most recent months and a about who is actually supporting this recall campaign? Beyond these two faces of the effort that we’ve just been talking about.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>So recently, a number of documents from the recall were released by the anti recall campaign, which is Pamela Price’s supporters known as Protect the Win. And it showed that there’s a lot more there beyond Brenda Grisham and Carl Chan. One of those groups is called reviving the Bay area. It’s a political action committee, in other words, a fundraising committee that previously we knew about, but we didn’t know how closely connected they are to the recall campaign. And what we learned is that they’re working in close coordination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>So reviving the Bay area is responsible for raising money from affluent individuals in the Bay area and other large businesses is run by two investors. Those are Isaac Abed, who’s a real estate investor in Oakland, and Philip Dreyfuss, who manages the money of affluent people at an investment company in San Francisco. Beyond those two, we also learned about a number of campaign consultants, one of which is Richard Lachman. He is a pretty well known campaign consultant, and one of his major wins in the last few years was running the campaign to recall San Francisco Progressive District Attorney Chesa Boudin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Hmm. Why does this matter Annelise?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>Well, what’s interesting about this information is it reveals the sort of political machine that’s behind this recall. When we look more closely at these other folks, we see the other interests at play here. A lot of the money that has so far been raised by safe, we know, has come from a lot of tech and real estate interests. And when you add in reviving the Bay area, we know that’s may be a major player here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>Now, an interesting fact here is that reviving the Bay area hasn’t yet disclosed who any of its donors are, but they’ve donated more than half $1 million to the recall. Supposedly, at the end of this month, they’re supposed to release the information about who some of their donors are. But until we know that, it’s really hard to know exactly who is funding this. But we know they’re pretty well resourced because they’ve hired some pretty high brass political consultants to support their efforts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>So at least that’s what we know right now about who is behind this effort. Where are we at right now in the recall campaign?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>And so we’re still sort of at the beginning of a recall. They haven’t qualified this yet for the ballot, which means that nobody’s voting yet. On whether or not to keep Pamela Price in office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>It sounds like there are still a few things that need to be ironed out before voters in Alameda County are even going to be asked this question about the recall, right? What are those things exactly Annelise?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>Yeah, there are definitely a few things that need to be ironed out. First, the recall has to qualify for the ballot, which means they have to submit the correct number of signatures and their signatures have to be validated. After that, there’s the question of when would an election take place? And there’s been a lot of debate in the county about what type of rules would apply to deciding when a recall election would happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Before we get into them, Annelise is this normal?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>This is not normal. Alameda County hasn’t had a recall election in more than 30 years. So as the county looks back at their rules, they have realized that some things are very outdated and may in fact be unlawful. So the is having to figure out a lot about how to do this as they’re doing it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Okay. So let’s start with the first piece there. The signature submissions that the recall campaign needs to gather in order to get this question on the ballot for voters. Remind us what needs to happen exactly as it relates to these signatures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>Right. So here’s what happens. The recall campaign will submit pages and pages and pages and pages of signatures that they’ve gathered from around Alameda County. Then the registrar takes a look at those. They verify them. Then they tally the number of validated signatures to get a grand total. That grand total has to be over 73,195 signatures in order to qualify for the ballot. And the deadline for them to do that is March 5th. If you talk to the recall, they say they’re getting pretty close.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>And according to members of the recall, around 80% of the signatures they’ve gathered so far have come from this third party signature. Gather, called PCI consultants, in order to collect signatures. And that’s actually really normal for a campaign to pay people to help get signatures. It’s a lot of work, but this is where things get really complicated. The Alameda County rules about how recalls can work. Currently require that signatures be collected by people who are registered voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>That might invalidate some of the signatures collected by this third party, because, at least anecdotally, we’ve heard that some of the signature gatherers are from out of state, or at least out of the county. The recall says they didn’t know about that rule, and they don’t think it’s lawful. It’s likely that there’ll be a court battle around what signatures will be counted as valid, and what ones will be invalidated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Well, if they do get the signatures and if the recall campaign actually does have the signatures that it says it has, and this question goes before voters of whether to recall Pamela Price. This will actually be the first recall Alameda County has had in 30 years. What does that mean, exactly?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>Well, it means a few different things. Essentially, the most important part is that the Alameda County rules about recalls are pretty outdated. The Alameda County Council recommended that the county update its charter, so its rules for recall to match the state rules.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>The Board of Supervisors voted at the end of last year to actually put this question to voters in March. So on March 5th, there will be a question on the ballot about whether Alameda County should adopt its state recall rules or stick with the county rules. And the reason why this matters is because those rules may impact parts of this potential recall of District Attorney Pamela Price.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Yeah. How exactly could this decision in March ultimately affect everything?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>County rules lay out a different timeline for when that election would happen and the state rules. The county rules make it more likely that an election would be held separate as a special election. So an election that would happen on its own, on its own ballot, and the state rules make it more likely that the election would be paired with a regularly scheduled election. So, like our election, this coming March is a primary election. It includes national, state and local issues. It’s more likely that a recall would then end up on a ballot like that, as opposed to being its own item that voters would vote on on its own, perhaps sometime in April or May.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Hmm. So you’re talking about one of those elections that we do randomly in the middle of the year. We’re asked one question. Aren’t those elections usually elections that people pay less attention to? Like, what do supporters and opponents think about this question of the timing here? That seems like a big deal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>Yeah. I mean, election experts say that special elections, where it’s just the one issue on the ballot, tend to have a way lower turnout. And the people who turn out to special elections tend to be more conservative voters. In generally scheduled elections. There’s a way bigger turnout. It’s a much more diverse body of voters, and the results tend to be a little bit more progressive. So what this means for the recall is that folks who support the recall are really wanting to have a special election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>They think it would favor the chances that Pamela Price would be recalled. The anti recall campaign want it to be scheduled with a general election for the exact opposite reason, essentially because of the same logic, they think a general election will skew more progressive and make it more likely that D.A. price would be allowed to stay in office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Okay, so that is a lot to remember. Annelise. So how would you maybe just summarize what voters should keep at the top of their minds for now?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>So this March, there won’t be a recall on the ballot. We’re not quite there yet, but this question of whether the county should adopt state rules on how to run a recall or stick with county rules will be on the ballot. And this is honestly just sort of a kind of technocratic how government works question. It’s unfortunately become very politicized because there’s a recall effort underway right now. One supervisor said that, you know, there’s never the wrong time to do the right thing. But if there was, maybe this is it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>It’s become this big question of like, oh, will you vote for the county rules because you support the recall? Or will you vote for the state rules because you support price? If the rules do end up changing, there may be more court battles about whether or not this applies to Pamela Price’s recall. But in the meantime, the question before voters is just this basic question should the county follow state rules for a recall, or should they stick with county rules?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Right. And I guess just for voters to remember that, that this question may seem boring and procedural, but that it could affect the outcome of the recall campaign. Well, Annalise, what are you going to be watching moving forward?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>So I’m really keeping a close eye on two things. The first is whether reviving the Bay area. That’s the pact that’s in part behind the recall. Whether they disclose who their donors are, they’re supposed to at the end of the month. And that will give us an interesting insight into who’s funding this effort. The other thing I’m keeping an eye on are the signatures the recall is gathering, and whether they produce enough signatures to qualify a recall for the ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Annelise. Thank you so much for helping us wade through all of this. I really appreciate it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>No problem.

There’s still a lot that needs to happen before voters in Alameda County are even asked to decide whether they want to remove price from office, including one huge decision voters will have to make in just two months about how recalls in Alameda County are run at all. Today, KQED Annalise Finney explains what we know about how the recall campaign is going so far, and the consequential decisions that still need to be made before voters decide on what to do with their DA. Stay with us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>So, Annelise, remind us who was behind this recall and why do they want Pamela, price recalled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>The recall is being led by an organization known as SAFE, which stands for Saving Alameda for everyone. Its two principal officers are Karl Chan and Brenda Grisham. Brenda Grisham is a black woman from East Oakland whose son, Christopher, was killed in a shooting in Oakland in 2010. So since then, she’s become a strong victims rights advocate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>Karl Chan was previously the president of Oakland’s Chinatown Chamber of Commerce. He’s also a realtor. Karl Chan himself was allegedly the victim of an anti-Asian hate crime a while ago. He is often advocating for increased police presence in Chinatown, and very critical of the DA’s treatment of people who are accused of crimes. These two people have really become the face, um, at least within the media, of who the recall campaign represents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Yeah, you’re getting into this a little bit, Annelise. But, I mean, these are two folks who are very rooted in the community in Oakland, at least. What are some of the specific policies of Pamela Price that they’re criticizing?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>Yeah. So generally, they’ve been talking a lot about what they see as Pamela Price being, quote, soft on crime. One particular policy they point to are sentencing enhancements. There’s gun enhancements. There’s gang enhancements. The three strikes rule, which some people have heard of, was also an enhancement. In California, there are over 100 different types of enhancements, and a lot of people are critical of them, not only D.A. price, because studies have shown that enhancements are applied in an often racially biased way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>Pamela Price, back at the beginning of her term, issued a directive that asked her deputies to only charge enhancements in very specific circumstances. And the reason she asked for that is because historically, young people who may be involved in gangs who are black and Latino are more likely 72% more likely to be charged with gang enhancements, which can really bump up the length of a prison sentence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>And I mean, that policy of hers are not really surprising, right? Because this is exactly what Pamela Price ran on. She ran as a super progressive district attorney who really wanted to focus more on how do we address the root of crime, as opposed to throwing more folks in jail. Can you remind folks, analise, that this recall effort actually started well before her first year of office even finished? Right?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>Right. So Pamela Price completed her first year in office this month. But Brenda Grisham says that she really began talks with people about starting a recall effort back in April. And even before that, there was an online petition asking people to sign if they were in favor of a recall. So since her first months in office, there have been whisperings of people trying to remove her from office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Well, what new information have we learned in most recent months and a about who is actually supporting this recall campaign? Beyond these two faces of the effort that we’ve just been talking about.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>So recently, a number of documents from the recall were released by the anti recall campaign, which is Pamela Price’s supporters known as Protect the Win. And it showed that there’s a lot more there beyond Brenda Grisham and Carl Chan. One of those groups is called reviving the Bay area. It’s a political action committee, in other words, a fundraising committee that previously we knew about, but we didn’t know how closely connected they are to the recall campaign. And what we learned is that they’re working in close coordination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>So reviving the Bay area is responsible for raising money from affluent individuals in the Bay area and other large businesses is run by two investors.

When we look more closely at these other folks, we see the other interests at play here. A lot of the money that has so far been raised by safe, we know, has come from a lot of tech and real estate interests. And when you add in reviving the Bay area, we know that’s may be a major player here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>Now, an interesting fact here is that reviving the Bay area hasn’t yet disclosed who any of its donors are, but they’ve donated more than half $1 million to the recall.

Where are we at right now in the recall campaign?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>And so we’re still sort of at the beginning of a recall. They haven’t qualified this yet for the ballot, which means that nobody’s voting yet. On whether or not to keep Pamela Price in office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>It sounds like there are still a few things that need to be ironed out before voters in Alameda County are even going to be asked this question about the recall, right?

Alameda County hasn’t had a recall election in more than 30 years. So as the county looks back at their rules, they have realized that some things are very outdated and may in fact be unlawful.

What does that mean, exactly?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>Well, it means a few different things. Essentially, the most important part is that the Alameda County rules about recalls are pretty outdated. The Alameda County Council recommended that the county update its charter, so its rules for recall to match the state rules.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>The Board of Supervisors voted at the end of last year to actually put this question to voters in March. So on March 5th, there will be a question on the ballot about whether Alameda County should adopt its state recall rules or stick with the county rules. And the reason why this matters is because those rules may impact parts of this potential recall of District Attorney Pamela Price.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Yeah. How exactly could this decision in March ultimately affect everything?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>County rules lay out a different timeline for when that election would happen and the state rules. The county rules make it more likely that an election would be held separate as a special election. So an election that would happen on its own, on its own ballot, and the state rules make it more likely that the election would be paired with a regularly scheduled election. So, like our election, this coming March is a primary election. It includes national, state and local issues. It’s more likely that a recall would then end up on a ballot like that, as opposed to being its own item that voters would vote on on its own, perhaps sometime in April or May.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Hmm. So you’re talking about one of those elections that we do randomly in the middle of the year. We’re asked one question. Aren’t those elections usually elections that people pay less attention to? Like, what do supporters and opponents think about this question of the timing here? That seems like a big deal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>Yeah. I mean, election experts say that special elections, where it’s just the one issue on the ballot, tend to have a way lower turnout. And the people who turn out to special elections tend to be more conservative voters. In generally scheduled elections. There’s a way bigger turnout. It’s a much more diverse body of voters, and the results tend to be a little bit more progressive. So what this means for the recall is that folks who support the recall are really wanting to have a special election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>They think it would favor the chances that Pamela Price would be recalled. The anti recall campaign want it to be scheduled with a general election for the exact opposite reason, essentially because of the same logic, they think a general election will skew more progressive and make it more likely that D.A. price would be allowed to stay in office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Okay, so that is a lot to remember. Annelise. So how would you maybe just summarize what voters should keep at the top of their minds for now?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>So this March, there won’t be a recall on the ballot. We’re not quite there yet, but this question of whether the county should adopt state rules on how to run a recall or stick with county rules will be on the ballot. And this is honestly just sort of a kind of technocratic how government works question. It’s unfortunately become very politicized because there’s a recall effort underway right now. One supervisor said that, you know, there’s never the wrong time to do the right thing. But if there was, maybe this is it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>It’s become this big question of like, oh, will you vote for the county rules because you support the recall? Or will you vote for the state rules because you support price? If the rules do end up changing, there may be more court battles about whether or not this applies to Pamela Price’s recall. But in the meantime, the question before voters is just this basic question should the county follow state rules for a recall, or should they stick with county rules?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Right. And I guess just for voters to remember that, that this question may seem boring and procedural, but that it could affect the outcome of the recall campaign. Well, Annalise, what are you going to be watching moving forward?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>So I’m really keeping a close eye on two things. The first is whether reviving the Bay area. That’s the pact that’s in part behind the recall. Whether they disclose who their donors are, they’re supposed to at the end of the month. And that will give us an interesting insight into who’s funding this effort. The other thing I’m keeping an eye on are the signatures the recall is gathering, and whether they produce enough signatures to qualify a recall for the ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Annelise. Thank you so much for helping us wade through all of this. I really appreciate it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Annelise Finney: \u003c/strong>No problem.

In October, SAFE was certified by the Alameda County Registrar of Voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The recall campaign now has more than 1,900 volunteers to gather the tens of thousands of signatures it needs to place a recall question on the ballot, Grisham told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that process may not be so simple.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In late October, the Alameda County Board of Supervisors gave its first approval to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11964884/alameda-county-recall-laws-may-change-and-pamela-price-could-benefit\">a charter amendment that would change how the county administers recall elections\u003c/a>. Instead of relying on its own charter, the county would essentially “delete” all of its local laws on recalls and use state rules instead. That’s not an anomaly in California as most counties default to state law for recall elections, according to the Registrar of Voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At an Oct. 24 Alameda County Board of Supervisors meeting, County Counsel Donna Ziegler told the board that recall rules similar to Alameda County’s have been found unconstitutional in other parts of the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And so the goal of this amendment is to increase the possibility — the likelihood — that should there ever be an occasion for the county to actually conduct a recall election, that the [Registrar of Voters] has a fighting chance to actually conduct that election with integrity,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than a dozen recall supporters spoke that night, including Grisham, who called out the potential rule changes as unfair.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel that this is election interference, and we have no trust in any of the departments, any of the administration,” Grisham said during public comment. “Right now, we have no trust in the Registrar of Voters.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The registrar has a history of major errors in elections. Just last year, the count employed an incorrect method of counting ballots in Oakland that resulted in \u003ca href=\"https://oaklandside.org/2022/12/28/alameda-county-registrar-miscounted-ballots-oakland-election-2022/\">the registrar crowning the wrong winner in an Oakland Unified School District race\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An elections commission formed in the wake of that scandal still has eight vacancies and has yet to officially meet, \u003ca href=\"https://www.acgov.org/bnc/#/board/a0U6T00000XmqABUAZ\">according to its website\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The difference between the state and county rules on recalls is key because each set of rules has distinct timelines and thresholds for a recall election.

County recall rules don’t specify a time frame.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The number of signatures needed to get a recall on the ballot is another significant difference between the state and county rules. State rules, for instance, say that for Alameda County, the number of signatures gathered must equal 10% of registered voters — about 93,000 signatures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But county regulations say the amount of signatures must be equal in number to at least 15% of the entire vote cast for governor candidates in the last gubernatorial election.

Could that imperil the recall effort?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Signature gathering is all about money,” Ross said. “If they have the money to hire or pay signature gatherers, then they’ll qualify.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grisham said SAFE aims to meet the 93,000 signature goal to ensure the campaign qualifies under either set of rules.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca id=\"pamelapricerecallwhenelection\">\u003c/a>When would the recall election take place?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>If voters reject the March ballot measure calling for a charter amendment, and depending on when the recall campaign turns in its signatures, it is possible a special election could be called for June.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the outcome will be different if voters approve the charter amendment in March.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State law more heavily favors placing a recall on the date of a regularly scheduled election, and says a recall election can take place 180 days after signatures qualify and a recall is ordered. That makes it far more likely the recall would take place in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The timing matters, especially in a presidential election year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Special and primary elections tend to have lower voter turnout than general elections. That was the case in Alameda County in 2022 when \u003ca href=\"https://elections.cdn.sos.ca.gov/sov/2022-primary/sov/03-voter-participation-stats-by-county.pdf\">308,000 voters cast a ballot in the June primary\u003c/a> compared to \u003ca href=\"https://elections.cdn.sos.ca.gov/sov/2022-general/sov/03-voter-participation-stats-by-county.pdf\">496,000 votes in November’s general election\u003c/a>. Turnout matters, Ross said, because of another truism in California politics: Higher-turnout elections skew to more progressive election results, and lower-turnout elections skew to more conservative results.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An earlier election might favor the recall against Price; a November recall could put it at a disadvantage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Any delay of this plays out in the DA’s favor,” Ross said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s also quite possible either side — for or against the recall — sues Alameda County over which recall regulations are the correct ones to follow, Alameda County Board of Supervisors Vice President David Haubert said during the Oct. 24 meeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The reason we’re choosing to align with state law is because it is the way that literally every other county is conducting elections,” Ziegler said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grisham said the recall campaign has all the legal resources they need to protect the recall process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re ready for all the shenanigans that could come our way,” she said. “We have very good lawyers, and there’s a lot of things we’re ready for that people don’t think we’re ready for.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca id=\"pamelapricechesaboudin\">\u003c/a>Is this attempt similar to the 2022 recall of San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>So far, at least one person associated with Price’s attempted recall overlaps with that of the successful recall campaign against Boudin: Dreyfuss, the hedge fund partner who in the recall’s initial filing documents, was listed as an officer. In 2021, Dreyfuss donated at least $10,000 to recall Boudin, according to campaign filings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the messages the recall campaign is using, in many ways, the playbook against Price mirrors previous efforts against progressive DAs in San Francisco and Los Angeles.

In October, SAFE was certified by the Alameda County Registrar of Voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The recall campaign now has more than 1,900 volunteers to gather the tens of thousands of signatures it needs to place a recall question on the ballot, Grisham told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that process may not be so simple.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In late October, the Alameda County Board of Supervisors gave its first approval to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11964884/alameda-county-recall-laws-may-change-and-pamela-price-could-benefit\">a charter amendment that would change how the county administers recall elections\u003c/a>. Instead of relying on its own charter, the county would essentially “delete” all of its local laws on recalls and use state rules instead. That’s not an anomaly in California as most counties default to state law for recall elections, according to the Registrar of Voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At an Oct. 24 Alameda County Board of Supervisors meeting, County Counsel Donna Ziegler told the board that recall rules similar to Alameda County’s have been found unconstitutional in other parts of the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And so the goal of this amendment is to increase the possibility — the likelihood — that should there ever be an occasion for the county to actually conduct a recall election, that the [Registrar of Voters] has a fighting chance to actually conduct that election with integrity,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than a dozen recall supporters spoke that night, including Grisham, who called out the potential rule changes as unfair.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel that this is election interference, and we have no trust in any of the departments, any of the administration,” Grisham said during public comment. “Right now, we have no trust in the Registrar of Voters.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The registrar has a history of major errors in elections. Just last year, the count employed an incorrect method of counting ballots in Oakland that resulted in \u003ca href=\"https://oaklandside.org/2022/12/28/alameda-county-registrar-miscounted-ballots-oakland-election-2022/\">the registrar crowning the wrong winner in an Oakland Unified School District race\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An elections commission formed in the wake of that scandal still has eight vacancies and has yet to officially meet, \u003ca href=\"https://www.acgov.org/bnc/#/board/a0U6T00000XmqABUAZ\">according to its website\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The difference between the state and county rules on recalls is key because each set of rules has distinct timelines and thresholds for a recall election. Alameda County voters will have the opportunity to vote on changing — or keeping — the county’s recall rules on March 5, 2024.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca id=\"pamelapricerecallsignatures\">\u003c/a>How many signatures would the Price recall campaign need to collect?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>State rules say the recall campaign has 160 days to gather signatures. County recall rules don’t specify a time frame.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The number of signatures needed to get a recall on the ballot is another significant difference between the state and county rules. State rules, for instance, say that for Alameda County, the number of signatures gathered must equal 10% of registered voters — about 93,000 signatures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But county regulations say the amount of signatures must be equal in number to at least 15% of the entire vote cast for governor candidates in the last gubernatorial election.

Could that imperil the recall effort?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Signature gathering is all about money,” Ross said. “If they have the money to hire or pay signature gatherers, then they’ll qualify.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grisham said SAFE aims to meet the 93,000 signature goal to ensure the campaign qualifies under either set of rules.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca id=\"pamelapricerecallwhenelection\">\u003c/a>When would the recall election take place?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>If voters reject the March ballot measure calling for a charter amendment, and depending on when the recall campaign turns in its signatures, it is possible a special election could be called for June.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the outcome will be different if voters approve the charter amendment in March.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State law more heavily favors placing a recall on the date of a regularly scheduled election, and says a recall election can take place 180 days after signatures qualify and a recall is ordered. That makes it far more likely the recall would take place in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The timing matters, especially in a presidential election year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Special and primary elections tend to have lower voter turnout than general elections. That was the case in Alameda County in 2022 when \u003ca href=\"https://elections.cdn.sos.ca.gov/sov/2022-primary/sov/03-voter-participation-stats-by-county.pdf\">308,000 voters cast a ballot in the June primary\u003c/a> compared to \u003ca href=\"https://elections.cdn.sos.ca.gov/sov/2022-general/sov/03-voter-participation-stats-by-county.pdf\">496,000 votes in November’s general election\u003c/a>. Turnout matters, Ross said, because of another truism in California politics: Higher-turnout elections skew to more progressive election results, and lower-turnout elections skew to more conservative results.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An earlier election might favor the recall against Price; a November recall could put it at a disadvantage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Any delay of this plays out in the DA’s favor,” Ross said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s also quite possible either side — for or against the recall — sues Alameda County over which recall regulations are the correct ones to follow, Alameda County Board of Supervisors Vice President David Haubert said during the Oct. 24 meeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The reason we’re choosing to align with state law is because it is the way that literally every other county is conducting elections,” Ziegler said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grisham said the recall campaign has all the legal resources they need to protect the recall process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re ready for all the shenanigans that could come our way,” she said. “We have very good lawyers, and there’s a lot of things we’re ready for that people don’t think we’re ready for.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca id=\"pamelapricechesaboudin\">\u003c/a>Is this attempt similar to the 2022 recall of San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>So far, at least one person associated with Price’s attempted recall overlaps with that of the successful recall campaign against Boudin: Dreyfuss, the hedge fund partner who in the recall’s initial filing documents, was listed as an officer. In 2021, Dreyfuss donated at least $10,000 to recall Boudin, according to campaign filings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the messages the recall campaign is using, in many ways, the playbook against Price mirrors previous efforts against progressive DAs in San Francisco and Los Angeles.

Property crimes are more mixed, \u003ca href=\"https://counciloncj.org/mid-year-2023-crime-trends/\">and violent crime in general is trending downward in the country compared to last year\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as the Brookings Institution noted in an April survey, \u003ca href=\"https://www.brookings.edu/articles/the-geography-of-crime-in-four-u-s-cities-perceptions-and-reality/\">perceptions of rising crime are up\u003c/a>. In 2022, the Pew Research Center found \u003ca href=\"https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2022/10/31/violent-crime-is-a-key-midterm-voting-issue-but-what-does-the-data-say/\">the feeling that crime was rising persisted despite data saying otherwise\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s important to consider for Alameda County. Even though its largest city, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/oakland-bay-area-rates-18259788.php\">Oakland, is experiencing higher crime rates\u003c/a>, that may not be the case in the other cities and unincorporated communities that make up Alameda County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How public officials talk about crime matters for recalls, too, Ross said. In San Francisco, \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/news/mayor-breed-orders-crackdown-on-crime-in-san-franciscos-tenderloin-neighborhood/\">Mayor London Breed was outspoken about crime\u003c/a> and the harsher punishments she’d like to see enacted in the city, though she was cautious not to call out Boudin directly. Price has a different situation with Mayor Sheng Thao, who leans more progressive than Breed.\u003ca href=\"https://abc7news.com/crime-in-oakland-mayor-sheng-thao-safe-rate/13686600/\"> Thao, like Breed, has pointed to a need for more police\u003c/a>, but she hasn’t endorsed harsher penalties for offenders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s one of the things that you had in San Francisco that you don’t have in Alameda County, is you don’t have a mayor basically driving the recall messaging,” Ross said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another split between San Francisco and Alameda County is its size and makeup, which may make signature gathering tougher, Ross said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since Alameda County is more spread out, it will likely take more time and, therefore, cost more for the campaign to hire signature gatherers to meet the required total.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/11966518/pamela-price-recall-alameda-potential","authors":["11690"],"categories":["news_8"],"tags":["news_260","news_32707","news_22276","news_27626","news_24461","news_18536"],"featImg":"news_11935711","label":"news"}},"programsReducer":{"possible":{"id":"possible","title":"Possible","info":"Possible is hosted by entrepreneur Reid Hoffman and writer Aria Finger.
