Prize-winner, Mark Fiore, who the Wall Street Journal has called “the undisputed guru of the form,” creates animated political cartoons in San Francisco, where his work has been featured regularly on the San Francisco Chronicle’s web site, SFGate.com. 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"},"mlagos":{"type":"authors","id":"3239","meta":{"index":"authors_1591205172","id":"3239","found":true},"name":"Marisa Lagos","firstName":"Marisa","lastName":"Lagos","slug":"mlagos","email":"mlagos@kqed.org","display_author_email":false,"staff_mastheads":["news"],"title":"KQED Contributor","bio":"\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marisa Lagos is a correspondent for KQED’s California Politics and Government Desk and co-hosts a weekly show and podcast, \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Political Breakdown.\u003c/span>\u003c/i> \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At KQED, Lagos conducts reporting, analysis and investigations into state, local and national politics for radio, TV and online.

high-profile recall effort of Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price — even, potentially, shifting the recall to the November presidential election when higher turnout may favor the outcome toward Price, a reform-minded DA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a Tuesday letter sent to the Alameda County Board of Supervisors, the registrar of voters recommended supervisors adopt an ordinance at their Oct. 24 meeting to put the proposed language before voters in a special election on March 5, the date of California’s primary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The charter amendment would eliminate all of the recall laws on Alameda County’s charter, and replace them with the language, “California state law applicable to the recall of county officers shall govern the recall of county of Alameda elected and appointed officers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jim Ross, a political consultant who advised Chesa Boudin’s anti-recall campaign and who has worked on campaigns in Alameda County for years, said it makes sense to align county rules with state law since that’s what most counties do. [pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Jim Ross, political consultant\"]‘This would be a big win for the Price supporters.’[/pullquote] Ross noted that state law favors giving the registrar more time to count signatures and perform other key election tasks. And the more time that is taken, the more likely the recall vote would be on the same ballot as the presidential election more than a year away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This would be a big win for the Price supporters,” Ross said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alameda County Board of Supervisors President Nate Miley said the registrar’s letter makes it clear the charter is “antiquated” when it comes to recalls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m pretty confident the board is going to align our charter with state law,” Miley told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Price’s campaign against the recall did not return a request for comment. Critics have accused Price of contributing to rising crime in Oakland through progressive policies, including not charging minors as adults and seeking lower sentences where possible. Violent crime and property crime are up in Oakland, but experts \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11906253/violent-crime-soared-during-the-pandemic-but-does-the-political-debate-reflect-the-data\">have found little connection\u003c/a> between the increase in rates and the prosecuting decisions of district attorneys.

Roughly 93,000 signatures are needed to qualify for the ballot, according to state recall rules, which were communicated to the recall campaign a few weeks ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>County rules would’ve seen the recall campaign need about 73,000 signatures. Having to gather an additional 20,000 signatures may cost a campaign more than $200,000, Ross estimated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Signature gathering is all about money,” he said. “If they have the money to hire or pay signature gatherers, then they’ll qualify.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In August, Alameda County Counsel Donna Ziegler released a statement saying the county did not know if it should follow state recall rules, or what is laid out in the county’s charter. The difference between state and county rules is key because each has distinct timelines and signature thresholds for a recall election to take place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brenda Grisham, a principal officer of the recall effort and a crime victims’ advocate whose 17-year-old son was shot and killed in east Oakland in 2010, said the campaign has more than 1,900 volunteers signed up to gather signatures, though about 50 were deployed just last Saturday. She thinks the campaign is on track to turn signatures in by March, and then see a June special election for the recall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Unless the registrar of voters put a monkey wrench in it, we are going to be on the ballot in June,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That monkey wrench might be state law. [pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Brenda Grisham, principal officer of the recall effort\"]‘Unless the registrar of voters put a monkey wrench in it, we are going to be on the ballot in June.’[/pullquote] State law more heavily favors placing a recall on the date of a regularly scheduled election. A recall election can take place 180 days after signatures qualify and a recall is ordered, according to state law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In its letter to supervisors, the registrar of voters wrote that the county’s own laws allow only 10 days to verify signatures, a goal that is “impracticable and likely unattainable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The elections official is highly unlikely to verify the signatures needed within the 10-day deadline. The failure to verify signatures timely could lead to costly litigation,” the letter read.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State law, by contrast, allows 30 days to verify signatures. It also would allow the county more time to prepare ballots for the recall. The county charter would only allow 35 to 40 days to do so for a special election.

One is the state government’s pattern of \u003ca href=\"https://sbp.senate.ca.gov/sites/sbp.senate.ca.gov/files/California%20IT%20Failures%20Background.pdf\">failure\u003c/a> on large information technology projects; the other is its \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/1994/12/21/us/california-governor-sues-to-void-motor-voter-law.html\">history\u003c/a> of flouting the federal voter-registration law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Common Cause and other voter-rights advocacy groups \u003ca href=\"https://www.mofo.com/resources/press-releases/voting-right-groups-move-to-enforce-motor-voter-in-california.pdf\">sued\u003c/a> the state in 2015, alleging it had failed to follow federal law requiring that states register people to vote and update their voting registrations when they get or renew a driver’s license or ID card. The Legislature then passed a \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160AB1461\">law\u003c/a> creating automatic voter registration at the DMV, and the advocacy groups have been working with the government to implement it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea was that rather than duplicating information by filling out a voter-registration form \u003cem>and\u003c/em> a driver’s license form, Californians who are legally eligible to vote would automatically be registered when completing the DMV’s computerized application for a driver’s license or ID card.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the program launched in April, about 1.4 million Californians have registered to vote or updated their voter registration through the motor voter process — and the DMV has acknowledged three batches of mistakes:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>A software error affected 77,000 registrations, resulting, in some cases, in two registration forms indicating different party preferences being issued for one voter (\u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-pol-ca-motor-voter-registrations-errors-20180524-story.html\">reported\u003c/a> in May).\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>A window-toggling error affected 23,000 registrations, resulting in changes to voters’ party preference, vote-by-mail options and language choices (\u003ca href=\"https://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article217891745.html\">reported\u003c/a> in September).\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>A data-entry error resulted in 1,500 people being registered to vote even though they are not legally eligible because they are not U.S. citizens, are under 18 or are on parole for a felony conviction (\u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-pol-ca-dmv-more-voter-registration-errors-20181008-story.html\">reported\u003c/a> this month).\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Though the problems are serious, none indicate intentional acts of fraud or hacking. Instead, they appear to be the result of human error and glitchy technology — which officials say are being fixed with software updates and employee training. The secretary of state said erroneous registrations have been canceled and DMV leaders say they’ve put new procedures in place to prevent mistakes in the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We continue to review the efficiency and accuracy of the program and will make additional upgrades as needed,” said the statement from DMV spokeswoman Jessica Gonzalez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Secretary of State Alex Padilla has said the errors amount to a small \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/blog/the-one-thing-the-california-dmv-does-make-it-easy-to-do/\">fraction\u003c/a> of the transactions processed by the DMV and maintains that the corrective steps he’s taking, including a third-party review of the motor voter system, “are crucial to ensuring voter confidence in our democracy.” National experts have repeatedly found that voter fraud is \u003ca href=\"https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2018/jan/04/donald-trump/donald-trump-says-theres-substantial-evidence-vote/\">isolated and rare\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, with the state government run entirely by Democrats, the motor voter problems have fueled Republican arguments that voting systems are \u003ca href=\"https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2018/apr/06/donald-trump/no-proof-trumps-claim-millions-voted-many-times/\">plagued by fraud\u003c/a>. In a new digital \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZ1w_GNowHc\">ad\u003c/a> this month, Padilla’s GOP opponent Mark Meuser highlights cases of fraudulent voting and says he wants “to end California's rigged elections.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The potential for politicizing the problem is why the state government needs to come up with a big picture fix, said Mike Madrid, a Republican political consultant who is an outspoken critic of President Donald Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is a way to salvage this but it requires not dismissing it as ‘no big deal,’” he said. “The president of the United States is questioning the integrity of our electoral system and we have just legitimized that fear mongering.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Madrid wants to see a bipartisan commission formed to examine California’s voting system — not only the motor voter problems but also issues like the incident during the June primary when more than 118,000 names were erased from Los Angeles County voter rolls. An audit \u003ca href=\"https://www.lavote.net/docs/rrcc/news-releases/Final-Revised-Media-Release-Voter-Roster.pdf?v=1\">found\u003c/a> that case was caused by a formatting mismatch between state and local computer systems that left blank spaces where dates of birth should have been, causing the computer to misclassify those voters as underaged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state’s Department of Finance will examine the motor voter program as part of its audit of the DMV, which has been plagued by numerous problems this year including massive wait times. But critics say that review is insufficient because the Department of Finance, like the DMV itself, is part of the governor’s administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This summer, lawmakers \u003ca href=\"http://www.capradio.org/articles/2018/08/08/california-lawmakers-reject-proposal-to-audit-the-dmv-despite-complaints-about-long-waits/\">rejected\u003c/a> a Republican assemblyman’s request to have the state’s independent auditor investigate the DMV.

Data entry mistakes that were corrected but never saved, it said this month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What DMV officials didn’t acknowledge — and still haven’t — was what may be the underlying problem: The agency rolled out a massive new voter-registration effort with a piecemeal computer system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead of the properly integrated computer program that was needed, the agency launched in April with disparate computer systems that didn’t automatically link together, according to advocates who have been working closely with the DMV on the new “motor voter” system. That meant DMV workers had to manually link information from various systems during transactions between April and September, when an integrated system was put in place, said Kathay Feng, executive director of California Common Cause.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All the problems reported so far happened during that period of time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we’re finding out is that they were really patching together an old system with several new systems,” Feng said.\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\u003cp>“We still don’t know if ... they had planned all along to have an interim process between April and September or if this is something they cobbled together because something wasn’t ready.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The DMV declined to answer CALmatters’ questions about the computer systems, instead providing a statement saying the motor voter program “has been implemented in phases, allowing DMV to roll out additional functionality.” The latest upgrade, the statement says, was on Sept. 26.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The botched rollout of the motor voter system — which comes as the state prepares for mid-term elections — points to two long-standing problems in California. One is the state government’s pattern of \u003ca href=\"https://sbp.senate.ca.gov/sites/sbp.senate.ca.gov/files/California%20IT%20Failures%20Background.pdf\">failure\u003c/a> on large information technology projects; the other is its \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/1994/12/21/us/california-governor-sues-to-void-motor-voter-law.html\">history\u003c/a> of flouting the federal voter-registration law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Common Cause and other voter-rights advocacy groups \u003ca href=\"https://www.mofo.com/resources/press-releases/voting-right-groups-move-to-enforce-motor-voter-in-california.pdf\">sued\u003c/a> the state in 2015, alleging it had failed to follow federal law requiring that states register people to vote and update their voting registrations when they get or renew a driver’s license or ID card. The Legislature then passed a \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160AB1461\">law\u003c/a> creating automatic voter registration at the DMV, and the advocacy groups have been working with the government to implement it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea was that rather than duplicating information by filling out a voter-registration form \u003cem>and\u003c/em> a driver’s license form, Californians who are legally eligible to vote would automatically be registered when completing the DMV’s computerized application for a driver’s license or ID card.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the program launched in April, about 1.4 million Californians have registered to vote or updated their voter registration through the motor voter process — and the DMV has acknowledged three batches of mistakes:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>A software error affected 77,000 registrations, resulting, in some cases, in two registration forms indicating different party preferences being issued for one voter (\u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-pol-ca-motor-voter-registrations-errors-20180524-story.html\">reported\u003c/a> in May).\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>A window-toggling error affected 23,000 registrations, resulting in changes to voters’ party preference, vote-by-mail options and language choices (\u003ca href=\"https://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article217891745.html\">reported\u003c/a> in September).\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>A data-entry error resulted in 1,500 people being registered to vote even though they are not legally eligible because they are not U.S. citizens, are under 18 or are on parole for a felony conviction (\u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-pol-ca-dmv-more-voter-registration-errors-20181008-story.html\">reported\u003c/a> this month).\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Though the problems are serious, none indicate intentional acts of fraud or hacking. Instead, they appear to be the result of human error and glitchy technology — which officials say are being fixed with software updates and employee training. The secretary of state said erroneous registrations have been canceled and DMV leaders say they’ve put new procedures in place to prevent mistakes in the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We continue to review the efficiency and accuracy of the program and will make additional upgrades as needed,” said the statement from DMV spokeswoman Jessica Gonzalez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Secretary of State Alex Padilla has said the errors amount to a small \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/blog/the-one-thing-the-california-dmv-does-make-it-easy-to-do/\">fraction\u003c/a> of the transactions processed by the DMV and maintains that the corrective steps he’s taking, including a third-party review of the motor voter system, “are crucial to ensuring voter confidence in our democracy.” National experts have repeatedly found that voter fraud is \u003ca href=\"https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2018/jan/04/donald-trump/donald-trump-says-theres-substantial-evidence-vote/\">isolated and rare\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, with the state government run entirely by Democrats, the motor voter problems have fueled Republican arguments that voting systems are \u003ca href=\"https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2018/apr/06/donald-trump/no-proof-trumps-claim-millions-voted-many-times/\">plagued by fraud\u003c/a>. In a new digital \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZ1w_GNowHc\">ad\u003c/a> this month, Padilla’s GOP opponent Mark Meuser highlights cases of fraudulent voting and says he wants “to end California's rigged elections.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The potential for politicizing the problem is why the state government needs to come up with a big picture fix, said Mike Madrid, a Republican political consultant who is an outspoken critic of President Donald Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is a way to salvage this but it requires not dismissing it as ‘no big deal,’” he said. “The president of the United States is questioning the integrity of our electoral system and we have just legitimized that fear mongering.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Madrid wants to see a bipartisan commission formed to examine California’s voting system — not only the motor voter problems but also issues like the incident during the June primary when more than 118,000 names were erased from Los Angeles County voter rolls. An audit \u003ca href=\"https://www.lavote.net/docs/rrcc/news-releases/Final-Revised-Media-Release-Voter-Roster.pdf?v=1\">found\u003c/a> that case was caused by a formatting mismatch between state and local computer systems that left blank spaces where dates of birth should have been, causing the computer to misclassify those voters as underaged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state’s Department of Finance will examine the motor voter program as part of its audit of the DMV, which has been plagued by numerous problems this year including massive wait times. But critics say that review is insufficient because the Department of Finance, like the DMV itself, is part of the governor’s administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This summer, lawmakers \u003ca href=\"http://www.capradio.org/articles/2018/08/08/california-lawmakers-reject-proposal-to-audit-the-dmv-despite-complaints-about-long-waits/\">rejected\u003c/a> a Republican assemblyman’s request to have the state’s independent auditor investigate the DMV. Now the Democratic assemblywoman who wrote the law creating the new motor voter system said she is going to ask for one when the Legislature reconvenes in January.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We gave them plenty of time. We increased their budget twice in order to implement this. We allowed them to delay implementation because we wanted it done right,” said Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher of San Diego.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When they told us they were ready, obviously they weren’t quite ready.”\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\u003cp>\u003cem>CALmatters.org is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics”\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/11699275/whats-behind-the-dmvs-voter-registration-snafus-motor-voter-may-have-launched-with-makeshift-system","authors":["byline_news_11699275"],"programs":["news_72"],"categories":["news_8","news_248","news_1397"],"tags":["news_17636","news_20572"],"affiliates":["news_18481"],"featImg":"news_11699300","label":"source_news_11699275"},"news_11663329":{"type":"posts","id":"news_11663329","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"news","id":"11663329","score":null,"sort":[1524154155000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"reducing-voters-paperwork-might-expand-the-voter-rolls","title":"Reducing Voters' Paperwork Might Expand the Voter Rolls","publishDate":1524154155,"format":"standard","headTitle":"The California Report | KQED News","labelTerm":{},"content":"\u003cp>Political brawls over voting laws have consumed states across the country for the past decade.
