Calif. Lawmakers Fume Over Enforcing Voting Laws

Proposition 39 is on the November 2026 California ballot, and RedState says it would require voters to show some government-issued ID before they cast a ballot. The outfit notes 36 other states already do this, which should make the rest of the country wonder what Sacramento is so upset about. According to RedState, the measure mostly enforces what's already on the books: voters have to be state residents and at least 18. Gavin Newsom is running televised ads against it, and Democrats are lined up behind him. I show my driver's license to buy a sack of mineral at the feed store, and the cashier has never once accused me of voter suppression. That dog won't hunt.
