Last update: 11 hours agoElection Integrity: California’s final election stretch is shadowed by a court fight over nearly 21,000 people the Justice Department flagged as possible noncitizen voters. Experts say the data DOJ turned over omitted key voter-identification fields and differed from the file sent to state officials. Governor’s Race: Xavier Becerra and Steve Hilton made last-minute appeals across the state, trading attacks on taxes, immigration and homelessness; recent polls showed Becerra with a sizable lead. Ballot Measures: Proposition 40’s proposed one-time tax on billionaires has split Democrats, with supporters saying it could fund health care and education and opponents warning it could drive wealth out of California. Propositions 41 and 42 could block the tax if approved. Farm Economy: A heat wave and natural alternate-bearing cycle are expected to cut California’s 2026 pistachio harvest to less than half of last year’s record crop, squeezing growers already facing rising costs.
