California Judge Upholds Attorney General's Summary of Voter ID Measure

California Judge Upholds Attorney General's Summary of Voter ID Measure

A state judge in California has upheld the summary language used by Attorney General Rob Bonta's office for a new voter ID measure set to appear on November ballots. The measure, known as Proposition 39, requires voters to present government-issued identification to cast their votes. The ruling came after the measure's backers challenged the summary, arguing it inaccurately described the measure's effects. Sacramento Superior Court Judge Jennifer K. Rockwell ruled that the summary accurately reflects the measure's provisions, which prohibit citizens from voting without ID. The judge also rejected the argument that the measure would not prevent voting but only the counting of votes without ID. In a separate ruling, another judge found the backers' description of the measure as making voting easier to be misleading.
