rosters, so need to to verify their eligibility before we can count those votes. >> reporter: a tedious process under the watchful eyes of volunteers from both campaigns. >> all the remaining ballots are being verified and processed and counted here in this building, it's become the center of the storm. >> reporter: the center of the storm because l.a. county has the largest number of ballots that have not yet been verified. the reg star says he expects all of the remaining 9 -- the registrar says he expects all of the remaining 93,000 ballots to be counted and verified by thanksgiving day and the results turned over to the secretary of state on december 3 but it may not end there, because both campaigns have the right to demand a recount or to challenge the election in court in what is believed to be the tightest statewide race in california history. >> a good civics lesson to remind everybody out there that every vote counts. >> reporter: in deciding the next attorney general, he means every vote. >> randy paige reporting. at a time when governor schwarzenegger calls for a special session to tackle the

anytime you have three subjects in custody for these blatant armed street robberies they were doing in the middle of the day, we do need to go back and take a look at prior street robberies and see if they may be connected to those as well. >> in oakland, joe vazquez, cbs 5. more green to graduate. the cost of a uc education is going up again. today university of california regents approved an 8% tuition hike for campuses statewide. it follows a 32% increase from last year. it will raise an estimated $180 million in annual revenue, one- third of which will be set aside for a larger financial aid package next fall. but some board members were not pleased with the decision. >> in the time i have been on the board, if we enact this increase, fees will have increased over 50%. shame on us. >> there was a violent protest on campus yesterday.

and for years this building was a symbol of the fact that the economy had gone in the tank and was built when times were better. and the times have been tough since then, so it's great to see this corner being turned specifically on this building. >> reporter: incentives and efforts to stream line the permitting process are paying off in other areas too. >> just in the next few days, we are going to be talking about announcements like sun power, samsung, solar junction, all of which are opening new offices, new facilities, right here in san jose. >> reporter: that will bring new jobs, starting with about 100 new hires for pwc, not to mention the construction jobs that will be needed to finish the interior for the new tenants. in san jose, len ramirez, cbs 5. people worried about cell phone radiation were speaking out today in san francisco. among them, a british woman who believes her cancer was caused by living near a cell phone tower. other speakers urged caution when using the cell phones.
