Excited for this change! CID is one of the most important sources on elections and election reform, and has been tremendously consequential both in California and nationally. I'm proud to have collaborated with CID in the past and look forward to many collaborations to come.

New laws and elected officials aren’t harmed. Council members and Congresional reps aren’t sworn in until January. Yes, CA legislators are oddly sworn in before canvassing deadline - that’s strange. But all races were done before swearing in.

Ballot measures don’t take effect until Jan 1.
