The city council of Huntington Beach, California, is including an amendment for photo identification when voting on its primary ballot.
If the amendment is voted into law in 2026, it will take effect in 2026.
According to California Attorney General Rob Bonta and Secretary of State Shirley Weber, voter ID laws “only serve to suppress voter participation without providing any discernible local benefit.”
Speaking at the California GOP’s Fall Convention, Donald Trump said California elections are “rigged.”
“It’s a RIGGED system, but it’s a shame that it’s been allowed to go on,” he said.
Trump added, “No way we lose this state in a REAL election, there’s no way.”
Reporting from RSBN:
Election integrity has become a hot-button topic in the wake of the 2020 presidential election. In 2021, California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) signed legislation to make universal vote-by-mail ballots permanent statewide, meaning all California citizens actively registered to vote will receive a mail-in ballot with each election. ... Mail-in voting became nationally widespread in 2020 with the onset of the Covid pandemic as a purported solution for those concerned about the risks of voting in person.
