The fault line runs directly underneath UC Berkeley’s Stadium

That’s gotta be the Hayward Fault-heard it’s much worse. You don’t have to be on either one. LA isn’t much better.

Now what if it struck on election day 2028? Or a tsunami hitting the entire left coast? The only Calif. votes counted would be in the Central Valley and red areas. Would they count?

If I correctly recall, the Hayward fault also runs beneath (or quite near) the major hospitals in Contra Costa County.

That said, while the Hayward Fault is a significant emergency response worry, America's most "volatile" fault line and "tectonic time bomb" is actually the Cascadia Subduction Zone, a megathrust fault just off the coast of Oregon and Washington States, and is capable of producing an earthquake exceeding M 9.0.

Sometime around 1990 the police station building in Fremont’s Central Park was razed because the Hayward Fault creep was slowly tearing the building in half.
