Dem Mayday, Mayday: Voter ID Ballot Measure Qualifies for CA's November General Election Ballot

I think this was slipping quietly under the radar in California for two reasons. For one, the Democrats are preoccupied with shivving each other in the back over the unintended consequences of holding a jungle primary composed of forty mudwrestling egotistical woke mediocrities.

While two sober, rational Republicans stand well away from the splatter being flung and look to slide gook-free into the top slots.
...
When state Dems are working against something that hard and that disingenuously - the SAVE Act - they're running cover for the operation they've been running.

And against all odds, a voter ID petition effort led by a hardworking California state representative, Carl DeMaio, has garnered over 960,000 signatures and qualified for the November general election ballot.

A "yes" vote supported this ballot initiative to:

* require voters to present a government-issued ID for in-person voting or provide the last four digits of a government-issued ID designated during voter registration for mail-in voting;

* require election officials to "maintain accurate voter registration lists [and]... use best efforts to verify citizenship attestations using government data” and to report each year the percentage of each county’s voter rolls that have been citizenship-verified;

* require the State Auditor to audit government compliance with these requirements during odd-numbered years and report “findings and recommendations for improving the integrity of elections to the public.”

This should worry the Dem rulers, as many Dem voters support voter ID. The Dems' strategy might be to simply tie this up in courts, IF it passes, until after November 2028.

I don't see why Dems would have an issue with this.  This is "democracy" at work.
