California Republicans push voter ID requirement, seek 875K signatures by filing deadline

California Republicans are launching a ballot push to require voters to show identification before casting their ballots, aiming to collect 875,000 signatures by a deadline. The effort, spearheaded by Assemblymember Carl DeMaio, is aimed at implementing voter ID laws in the state. If successful, it could significantly alter voting procedures in California. Proponents of the initiative claim it will improve election security and prevent voter fraud.
