California officials are suing the beachside city of Huntington Beach over a voter ID amendment it passed last month with support from a majority of residents.
The lawsuit, from California Attorney General Rob Bonta and California Secretary of State Shirley N. Weber, challenges Huntington Beach’s voter ID law, Measure A, which amends the city’s charter to allow voter ID requirements by 2026.
In their lawsuit, Bonta and Weber argued that the city’s voter ID law “unlawfully conflicts and is preempted by state law.”
The report explains that the voter ID measure would let the city require voter identification, increase in-person voting sites and monitor ballot drop boxes in local elections. The City Council placed the measure on the March ballot, and it passed with 53% approval.
“We’re suing Huntington Beach over its unlawful voter ID charter amendment,” Bonta, a liberal Democrat, announced.
“CA election law already contains strong protections against voter fraud while ensuring that eligible voters can cast a ballot. We stand ready to defend the voting rights that make our democracy strong.”

In another post, Bonta snarled, “We warned Huntington Beach and now we’re suing them— this time for violating CA election law and threatening to disenfranchise voters and suppress Californians’ fundamental right to vote.”

State Assembly member Bill Essayli fired back, “So you’re ok with local governments allowing illegal immigrants to vote in school board races, but you’re suing Huntington Beach for requiring voter ID?
“As usual, your priorities are completely backwards.”

Bonta was born in the Philippines and immigrated to the United States with his family when he was two months old.
One social media user slammed Bonta, asking, “Can a dude born in the Philippines explain how come even his own native land has a voter ID card requirement absolutely no one complains about?”
