HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. (AP) — California officials on Monday sued Huntington Beach over a new law that lets the city require voters to provide identification to cast ballots at the polls starting in 2026.
State Attorney General Rob Bonta said the measure approved by voters in the Southern California city of nearly 200,000 people stands in conflict with state law and could make it harder for poor, non-white, young, elderly and disabled voters to cast ballots.
State officials previously warned that the measure to amend the city's charter would suppress voter participation and are asking a court to block it from taking effect, he said.
“The right to freely cast your vote is the foundation of our democracy and Huntington Beach’s voter ID policy flies in the face of this principle,” Bonta said in a statement while announcing the lawsuit.
Huntington Beach City Attorney Michael Gates said the city has the authority to take election-related measures under the state's constitution and will defend the decision of local voters.

California is a threat to democracy.
Kalifornia Uber Alles!
Hahaha those poor, non-white, young, elderly and disabled voters have no trouble cashing welfare checks.
Why does every election integrity safe-guard always negatively effect only the poor, elderly, and and minority communities?
Huntington Beach needs to turn around and sue those commie piggies back.
Sue them back over “auto frado.”
Figures. Free Huntington Beach against the corruption of the state of California.

Sure, Robbie. Your pathetic condescension to folks not like you is sickening. You think these folks are not smart/capable enough to get a government-issued ID? Really? You have very low expectations, don’t you Robbie? Without your help - so you can feel good about yourself - it is a wonder these people can even survive. Ridiculous - but that personifies your insanity.

Not true. Non-drivers can get state ID cards at the DMV, no drivers test needed.

How do the poor get welfare without ID?
