I have no idea why after Florida in 2000 we didn’t pass a national election reform law, that would have required ID and standardized elections nationally.
The will existed on both sides at the time, but we let the opportunity slip through our fingers.
I LOVE Huntington Beach and have walked that pier MANY times in my 82 years of being a Southern California Native.
May God help them as a community as they fight off the evil of this corrupt state.!!
Not only is it a solution in search of a problem...
How do we know there’s no problem if we don’t ask for ID? Oh, yeah, like they taught us in trial advocacy: “If you can’t stand the answer, don’t ask the question”...
Let me guess. A scumbag Leftist bent on propagating election fraud. Another racist Leftist who wants people to think he views minorities are too stupid to get a license.
In actuality, he is all in on Election Fraud.
“...harmful to California voters, especially low-income, the elderly, people of color, those with disabilities, and young voters.”
Funny. You had to show ID to get into the event w biden, clinton and Obama. So ya need an ID to get in to see the Presidents but NOT to vote?
“especially low-income, the elderly, people of color, those with disabilities, and young voters.” who are too stupid to obtain a free state provided I.D.
There, I finished the sentence no one ever seems to finish.
Do they have “standing”?
"“It is violative of California state election law, undermines that process and threatens the constitutionally protected right to vote,” said California Attorney General Rob Bonta at a news conference in Los Angeles on Monday, April 15."
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
First, the bottom line ...
The broader picture concerning renegade states not wanting voter id is this imo. Political parties and media are whining about the "obsolete" electoral college because it is the only thing stopping the corrupt political parties from establishing a permanent puppet presidency that will unquestioningly sign unconstitutional taxing and spending bills into law.
Regarding California voting laws, California AG may be trying to sidestep the MAJOR constitutional problem that illegal aliens don't have a constitutional right to vote.
Allegedly flyers were distributed at NGO in Mexico encouraging migrants to vote for Biden (4.15.24)
From related thread regarding the constitutionality of illegal aliens voting ...
Regarding renegade states who allow illegal aliens to vote, the congressional record shows the following. Post-Civil War federal lawmakers had expressed their concern that states that allow non-citizens to vote effectively wrongly nullify the Constitution's "Uniform Rule of Naturalization Clause," Artice I, Section 8, Clause 4.
"Article I, Section 8, Clause 4: To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization [emphasis added], and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States;"
" If the States can admit to the elective franchise those who are not citizens, thereby neutralizing the votes of citizens, not only the Federal power of naturalization becomes a nullity, but" * * * * "a minority of citizens by the aid of aliens may control the government of the States, and through the States the government of the Union [emphasis added]." —Appendix to the Congressional Globe, 1868. (See near middle of 1st column.)
" Whatever difference there may be as to what other rights appertain to a citizen, all must agree that he has the right to petition and also to claim the Protection of the Government. These belong to him as a member the body politic, and the possession of them is what separates citizens of the lowest condition from aliens and slaves. To suppose that a State can make an alien a citizen or confer on him the right of voting would involve the absurdity of giving him the direct and immediate control of the action of the General Government, from which he can claim no protection and to which he has no right to present a petition [emphasis added]." —Appendix to the Congressional Globe, 1868. (See bottom half of 1st column.)
In addition to renegade states wrongly nullifying the Uniform Rule of Naturalization Clause by letting illegal aliens vote, note the zero tolerance "hair trigger" language of Section 2 of 14A below which Pence and J6 Congress wrongly ignored imo.
"is denied to any"
"or in any way abridged,"
"14th Amendment, Section 2: Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced [emphases added] in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State." [Apportionment of Representatives]
The illegal votes of illegal immigrants wrongly weaken the constitutionally enumerated voting power of citizens imo.
In fact, consider that the post-Civil War congressional Republicans who drafted Section 2 made it to discourage Southern Democrats (my words) from rigging the ballot boxes that Democrats are now alleged to have done for 2020, 2022 and possibly earlier elections!
"Because slavery (except as punishment for crime) had been abolished by the Thirteenth Amendment, the freed slaves would henceforth be given full weight for purposes of apportionment. This situation was a concern to the Republican leadership of Congress, who worried that it would increase the political power of the former slave states, even as such states continued to deny freed slaves the right to vote." —Apportionment of Representatives
If this was a better world, the feds would be publicly reminding all states before an election that the feds will be darkening the doorway of any state to investigate allegations of possible violations of Section 2.
The next major step for Democratic and Republican voters to peacefully put the corrupt federal government back into its constitutional Article I, Secton 8-limited power cage ...
Beloved but worthless career lawmakers need to be replaced with Trump-supporting patriot lawmakers in November so that hopeful Trump 47 will not be a lame duck president from the first day of his second term in office, but will be supported by the new Congress to finish draining the swamp.
Again, the broader picture is that the political party and media fuss about "obsolete" electoral college is because the electoral college is the only thing stopping the corrupt, constitutionally undefined political parties that have pirated control of state and federal governments from establishing a permanent puppet presidency that will unquestioningly sign unconstitutional taxing and spending bills into law.
Huntington Beach John Wayne approved hat tip ensues.
MAGA
““The attorney general’s press release that the city’s voter ID requirements violate state law is inconsistent with, in fact in direct conflict with, Sen. David Min’s new bill attempting to make Huntington Beach’s voter ID illegal,” Gates said in a statement. “That blatant inconsistency speaks volumes.””
I have read that statement over and over and I fail to see what the dickens he’s talking about. Of course, it’s inconsistent. The state wants one thing. HB wants the opposite.
HB is on the side of right! As for the attorney general, she doesn’t think her parents or grandparents could have used the same kind of ID recommended to voters today who don’t have drivers licenses?
There is no excuse not to have ID no matter how hard they try to convince others it’s impossible. In today’s world, you need ID regardless of what form it takes.
Who has ever heard the word violative used or used it themselves?
