No ID? No problem! Californians won't have to show ID to vote, thanks to Gavin Newsom and other state Dems
'They just made PREVENTING voter fraud against the law.'
Californians looking to cast a ballot in the next several weeks likely won't have to present proof of identification thanks to a new bill signed into law by Gov. Gavin Newsom (D).
On Thursday, Newsom signed SB 1174, which bars all local governments in California from "requiring a person to present identification for the purpose of voting or submitting a ballot."
'Unnecessary obstacles to voter participation disproportionately burdens low-income voters, voters of color, young or elderly voters, and people with disabilities.'
State Sen. Dave Min (D-Irvine) introduced the bill earlier this year after residents in Huntington Beach voted to approve a local ordinance requiring voters to show ID to cast a ballot in municipal elections.CORTNEY WEIL
