- California voter ID ballot measure challenged in court
A pro-voter ID group sued California's secretary of state and attorney general over changes to the wording of Proposition 39, a voter ID ballot measure. The plaintiffs argue the revised title, which states the measure 'prohibits citizens from voting unless they present government-issued identification,' is misleading, as the measure actually regulates vote counting verification, not ballot casting. The case seeks to amend the language before election deadlines.
