The city of Huntington Beach is trying to implement a voter ID law that could disenfranchise voters, but Rob is suing to stop them.
Our democracy and voting rights are at exceptional risk across the country right now, with Donald Trump and his supporters continuing to push the Big Lie that the 2020 presidential election was stolen, and Republican lawmakers trying to make it harder for people to make their voices heard at the ballot box.
One of their common tactics? Voter ID laws.
Voter ID laws are an unnecessary obstacle to voting that have long been used by GOP-controlled state and local governments as a means to disenfranchise voters. They historically create a disproportionate burden for lower-income voters, voters of color, young and elderly voters, and people with disabilities.
Here in California, the city of Huntington Beach's new charter amendment authorizes additional voter ID for municipal elections starting in 2026, but this directly violates state law. Our state already has robust requirements during voter registration to prevent voter fraud, which is rare: every voter must present identification and swear under penalty of perjury when they register.
As Attorney General, Rob recently filed a lawsuit against this illegal and misguided voter ID measure to prevent it from going into effect and disenfranchising voters.
Rob will always fiercely defend our democracy and voting rights as long as he's in office. Can you show him your support by pitching in a grassroots donation of $5 or more before our campaign's April 30th fundraising deadline?

Voter ID measures like this will only move us backward and create unnecessary barriers to voting, but Rob is doing everything in his power to stop them from affecting any Californians.
Thanks for having Rob's back,
