Ready, Get Set, Vote!
March 5th Primary
The primary election will be on March 5, 2024. If you’ve voted, thank you. If you haven’t voted yet, please continue to get informed and cast your ballot and help others do the same.
Your Vote Matters
We frequently bring up the importance of voting and we are going to do it again, 😊. | | | Some of the reasons your vote in the March 5th primary is important include:
· It gives you a say in choosing the candidates you feel best represent your values and priorities.
· The impact on Local and State Elections: primary elections often include local and state positions where the outcome can be more competitive. Your vote can significantly impact the election of state legislators, mayors, school board members, and other local officials who directly affect your community.
Just a few votes can make a big difference.
· Voting is a fundamental part of democratic engagement. By participating in primary elections, you're exercising your right and fulfilling your responsibility as a citizen to contribute to the democratic process. It's a way to voice your opinion and be part of the decision-making that shapes your government and society.
· It's an opportunity to lead by example, showing the importance of being involved in every step of the electoral process, not just the general elections.
· Engaging in the primaries keeps you informed about the candidates and issues, preparing you for the general election. It's a chance to research candidates, understand their platforms, and make informed decisions in both the primary and general elections.
· High voter turnout in primaries signals a healthy democracy. It shows that the electorate is engaged, informed, and ready to participate in the democratic process. This can lead to more attention from candidates and parties to voter concerns and potentially higher quality candidates who feel compelled to address these issues.
Voting in primary elections is a critical component of democratic participation. It influences the direction of political parties, affects local and state elections, and demonstrates your commitment to the democratic process. Even in a state that leans heavily toward one party, your vote in the primaries can make a significant difference in various ways.
Candidate Forums
We hosted two candidate forums: Congressional District 17 and State Assembly District 26. You can find the videos on our website at Election Forums
Please share this link with your email lists to help others get informed.
As a reminder, we do not have any local city council or school board races. There is a Sunnyvale School Bond Measure which our League has endorsed.
And Prop 1 at the state level. Please study Prop 1 closely – while it includes several provisions designed to help alleviate the mental health challenges in our state, it has an involuntary commitment element that may take away too much of an individual’s rights. LWV California opposes Prop 1. We have sent an eblast with more details on this and other election information.
Vote411 has replaced VotersEdge.
As Vote411 does not include information on the money behind the candidates and measures, we encourage you to also review the following websites:
PowerSearch.sos.ca.gov – has the money behind the state candidates and ballot measures.
Federal Elections Commission – has the money behind federal candidates.
Also check out Santa Clara County ROV Services – which has all your voter service needs:
· Check your voter registration
· Find a ballot drop box
· Track your ballot
· View a sample ballot
· And much, much more

Elaine & Tracey, Co-Presidents | __________________________________ | | LWV Cupertino-Sunnyvale Annual Community Appeal | Every year at this time our League conducts its Community Appeal. This is when we ask League members and members of the community to help us financially as we continue our work empowering voters and defending democracy. Now more than ever this work is important. We need to inform voters about the issues, help them learn about candidates, and make sure that people are able to register to vote and get to the polls.
To do these things, in addition to the thousands of hours that our members volunteer, it takes money to cover our costs. That’s why we are asking you to donate today.

For a tax-deductible donation you can mail a check payable to LWVC Ed Fund. You can also send a check if you prefer to support the vital and important efforts of running our League that is a non-deductible donation. That check would be payable to LWVCS.

California Primary – March 5, 2024 – Get the Ballot You Want
2024 is the first time that California will participate in Super Tuesday. Do you know which presidential candidates will appear on your ballot?
In 2011, California adopted the “Top Two Candidates Open Primary Act”. As a result, in elections for U.S. congressional offices, state constitutional offices and state legislative offices all candidates are listed on one ballot and only the top two vote-getters– regardless of party preference - move on to the general election.
The only elections where the list of candidates will be specific to a political party are the offices of U.S. President and county central committee. So, how can you be sure to get the ballot that you want?
· Go to sccvote.sccgov.org to check that you are registered to vote and to see if you are registered with a political party.
· If you are registered with a party, the presidential candidates for that party will be on your ballot.
· If you are registered NPP (No Party Preference) your default ballot will not have presidential candidates. If you want to vote for a presidential candidate, you can take one of the steps below.
· To vote for a candidate from the American Independent, Democratic, or Libertarian Party, you need to request a crossover ballot. The ROV will send NPP voters a Cross-Over Ballot Notice and Application with instructions about how to do this.
· To vote for a candidate from the Green, Peace & Freedom, or Republican Party, go to sccvote.sccgov.org and re-register as a member of that party.
The deadline to register to vote is February 19, 2024 and the deadline to request a crossover ballot is February 20, 2024. If you miss these deadlines, you can still request a conditional ballot on or before March 5 at the Registrar of Voters or at any vote center.
For more information go to the SCC ROV website: https://sccvote.sccgov.org/elections/march-5-2024-presidential-primary-election or the CA Secretary of State website: https://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/voting-info/how-vote-president

PROS and CONS
There is only one state measure on the primary ballot, Prop 1, which actually proposes two items: reallocation of some of the current funds counties receive as part of the Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) passed in 2004, and a bond measure to build more facilities for mental health needs and housing for the homeless. You can find much more detailed and unbiased, neutral information in the links below.
- Pros & Cons - The shareable PDF version is available and has excellent information on Prop 1.
- Pros & Cons video - The video explainer is available on YouTube. You can also find the slide deck.
- Easy Voter Guide - Our Easy Voter Guide helps the election make sense. English, Spanish, Chinese, and Vietnamese language versions are currently available at easyvoterguide.org. The Easy Voter Guide also has an excellent analysis of Prop 1.
LWV Cupertino-Sunnyvale Supports LWVC ADVOCACY: VOTE WITH THE LEAGUE
VOTE NO ON PROP 1: Mental Health Care and Addiction Treatment Reform & Bonds to Build Places for Treatment and Supportive Housing.
Although California has a critical need to resource better mental health and addiction services and to address our crisis of homelessness, the League of Women Voters of California opposes Proposition 1 for a number of important reasons. While the additional housing resources offered through Prop 1 are sorely needed, they do not outweigh its flaws.
The bond portion of the measure was rushed through the legislature with last-minute amendments that opened the door to funding involuntary treatment in locked facilities. The rushed nature of these amendments precluded substantive debate and ignored arguments from diverse community-based organizations and health care and civil rights advocates. These groups contend that community-based care is more effective than institutionalization and that incentivizing institutionalization will both lead to worse health outcomes and curtail individual liberties.
Furthermore, Prop 1 does not increase the overall funding for mental health services for counties – the bond money is to build treatment units and supportive housing. Under the changes this measure makes to the Mental Health Services Act, more of the money received by counties must be used for housing of a certain group of patients and for intensive, personalized support services like assistance finding employment and accessing educational opportunities. This reallocation reduces the funds available for other mental health services that counties currently offer to patients, like treatment, crisis response, and outreach. It has the overall effect of reducing counties’ ability to set priorities based on local needs for mental health services.Any variances that may allow counties to spend more or less on specific categories would increase their administrative costs and do not erase the lack of flexibility they would have to meet specific needs.
Finally, budgetary decisions should be made by the legislature, not by earmarking funds through ballot initiatives. Earmarking restricts the counties and the state from redirecting funds to alternative models of care that may arise in the future, or to other emerging and essential needs.

From one of our members, Casilda de Benito - her Spanish translation of our voter info
Below is the result of Google Translate and I confirm it is good translation for the E-blastevent section:
Pros y contras
Sólo hay una medida estatal en la boleta primaria, la Proposición 1, que en realidad propone dos elementos: la reasignación de algunos de los fondos actuales que reciben los condados como parte de la Ley de Servicios de Salud Mental (MHSA) aprobada en 2004, y una medida de bonos para construir más instalaciones para las necesidades de salud mental y viviendas para las personas sin hogar. Puede encontrar información mucho más detallada, imparcial y neutral en los enlaces a continuación.
Pros y contras: la versión en PDF que se puede compartir está disponible y tiene excelente información sobre la Proposición 1.
Vídeo de ventajas y desventajas: el vídeo explicativo está disponible en YouTube. También puede encontrar las diapositivas.
Guía sencilla para el votante: nuestra Guía sencilla para el votante ayuda a que las elecciones tengan sentido. Las versiones en inglés, español, chino y vietnamita están disponibles actualmente en easyvoterguide.org. La Guía Fácil para el Votante también tiene un excelente análisis de la Proposición 1.
Medida C para el Distrito Escolar Primario Sunnyvale
La Medida C permitirá al Distrito Escolar de Sunnyvale crear y mejorar instalaciones esenciales para una educación sobresaliente para todos los estudiantes desde el jardín de infantes de transición hasta las escuelas intermedias galardonadas. El distrito ha demostrado que es un buen administrador del dinero de los contribuyentes, como lo demuestra su alta calificación crediticia y su gestión exitosa de programas de bonos anteriores. La aprobación de la Medida C ayudará a garantizar que Sunnyvale siga teniendo excelentes escuelas que beneficien a toda la comunidad.
Pro-Con próximamente (fin de mes)
Por estas razones, la Junta de la Liga de Mujeres Votantes de Cupertino-Sunnyvale respalda la Medida de Bonos C del Distrito Escolar de Sunnyvale en la boleta electoral del 5 de marzo de 2024.

Featuring our Guest Speaker - Rachael Myrow, Senior Editor of KQED’s Silicon Valley News Desk on Free Speech in the Digital Age & The Mass Extinction of American Journalism
American journalism, like the other pillars of our democracy developed 250 or so years ago now, is struggling to keep up. Worse, struggling to stay alive. You might be thinking, “I’ve got more news coming at me on my phone, 24/7, than I can handle!” KQED's Rachael Myrow is not discounting your experience. She's warning that what many of us observe about the state of journalism right now is like a wet year late into a mega drought; the larger trend lines point to the challenges in the digital age.

| __________________________________ | Districting in the Fremont Union High School District (FUHSD)
The school district is moving from electing Trustees at-large to electing them by districts. Cortney Jansen from SEE (Sunnyvale for Equity in Education) wrote an excellent article on why this is important. Here is a section that was particularly important at this point of the process:
The concentration of trustees from certain zip codes means that parts of the district have never had a trustee who lived in their area. While SEE's focus has been on the lack of representation in North Sunnyvale, where the highest concentration of vulnerable, underserved students resides, the lack of representation extends beyond North Sunnyvale. Other unrepresented/underrepresented areas include Saratoga zip code 95070, Los Altos zip code 94024, and San Jose zip code 95129 (home of Lynbrook HS). Additional details on zip codes can be found on Slide 7 of the Superintendent Update from the January 30 FUHSD board meeting here. (Editor Note: this is an excellent presentation detailing steps and timeline for the process.)
All board members represent the entire district, regardless of how they are elected or where they live. However, each community within the district is unique. By moving to trustee-area elections, the district is ensuring that ALL communities have representation on the board.
Moving to trustee-area elections also reduces the cost of running for school board, since candidates can focus their campaign on one trustee area instead of the entire district. So more people can run, increasing the representation and inclusion on the board.
By moving to trustee-area elections now (instead of waiting until the district receives a "demand" (or legal) letter or lawsuit), the district has more time for community input and the district avoids fines for being non-compliant with the CVRA (California Voting Rights Act).
As the move to trustee-area elections continues in preparation for the November 2024 elections, there has been concern among some communities within the district that moving to trustee-area elections will reduce their representation and lead to closing of high schools in the southern part of the district. Interestingly, at-large trustee elections were in place when the board decided to close a high school (Sunnyvale High School) in 1981. When Cupertino Union School District closed elementary schools recently, those board members were also elected at-large. While school closure is separate from how trustees are elected, the evidence does NOT suggest that staying with at-large elections correlates with keeping schools open.
The next CTAD meetings will be held at the FUHSD district office boardroom tentatively on March 11 and April 11.
Finally, the remaining map hearings will occur at these FUHSD board meetings:
1. Wednesday, March 20 – Map Hearing 3 (Present maps and sequencing recommendations)
2. Wednesday, April 24 – Map Hearing 4 (Board approves final map and sequencing)
As we approach the end of this year-long process, it's a good time to remember that when we foster greater inclusion, we all benefit. Everyone in the district wants their students to have a great education, the ability to participate in extracurricular activities, and reasonable transportation options to get to school. The district as a whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
SEE could use more help with the FUHSD Districting process. If you live in the district, please attend meetings and be sure to give your suggestions for the district map into Map Input Form
