California’s gubernatorial race delivered plenty of surprises, but some long-standing political patterns remain hard to break. As voters weighed experience, money, and electability, questions about representation also surfaced.
@CID_Research director, @MindySRomero, discusses the expectations women candidates continue to face and how those perceptions can shape statewide campaigns.

California's primary election results sparked a familiar debate: Why does it take so long to count votes?
As election officials continue processing ballots, some political figures and commentators have pointed to the lengthy timeline as a reason for skepticism. But election experts say California's extended counting process is largely the result of policies designed to expand voter participation while maintaining election security.
@CID_Research Director @MindySRomero explains how signature verification, vote-by-mail processing, and other safeguards contribute to the state's slower vote count—and why balancing security and access remains a challenge for election administrators.

@nytopinion Get your facts straight about CA. It's fine to want to speed up the count but need to understand serious tradeoffs & what's actually causing multi-day process. Your analysis is flawed. Read @hezaproject & me Opinion | Mailed ballots don’t slow CA vote count; glut does

Young voters consistently turn out at lower rates than older voters—but that doesn't mean they're less interested or engaged.
@CID_Research director @MindysRomero points to systemic barriers that make participation more difficult for young people, from frequent moves that complicate voter registration to outreach strategies that often overlook younger voters altogether.
Listen to learn more about the challenges shaping youth voter participation.

ICYMI Op-ed @hezaproject & me. CA’s vote counting process assures there's NO fraud. Takes a while to count all the ballots primarily b/c mail ballots are popular & SO numerous in big pop state & b/c each one is verified
