California Rewrites Voter ID Ballot Title and Description – ACLJ Demands Answers

STATUS:
Issued
California rewrote Proposition 39's ballot title – from "Establishes additional voter identification and citizenship verification requirements" to the politically charged "Prohibits citizens from voting unless they present government-issued identification." The ACLJ has filed a California Public Records Act request demanding all records behind that rewrite, including any involvement by Governor Gavin Newsom's office or former Attorney General Xavier Becerra. The ACLJ is seeking transparency on whether officials manipulated the measure's language to mislead voters and suppress support for voter ID.
