A LEGAL BATTLE between the state and Huntington Beach over voter ID continues (Shutterstock).
The legal tug-of-war between the State of California and the City of Huntington Beach continues as a petition for a writ of mandate has been filed asking for a resolution of the conflict between the two over a requirement that voters in Surf City present identification when casting ballots.
California Attorney General Rob Bonta and Secretary of State Shirley Weber filed the motion with the California Fourth District Court of Appeal on Thursday.
At issue is the voter-approved “Measure A,” which a lower court said was “not ripe for adjudication.” A special election will be held on Feb. 25 to fill the 36th state Senate seat vacated by Janet Nguyen, who was elected to the Orange County Board of Supervisors.
