California lawmakers sent Gov. Gavin Newsom a bill today that would bolster the state's plan to mail every voter a ballot for the November election — and passed it with support from several Republicans
A companion measure in the Senate would expand opportunities to physically cast ballots both on Election Day and in the preceding days; a Newsom executive order doing the same is tangled up in a court fight.
The Assembly passed the bill on a 63-3 vote and will send it to Newsom. With his signature, the bill would become law immediately since it was written as an urgency measure. Republicans who supported the bill commended language ensuring that ballots will not be mailed to inactive voters who have not participated in recent elections. The Trump administration has seized on a lawsuit finding inactive voters on the rolls to falsely claim California is mailing ballots to ineligible voters.
Mail voting has become a partisan flashpoint as Democrats look to expand the option ahead of the presidential election. Trump has decried mail ballots for disadvantaging Republicans and on multiple occasions has falsely asserted it led to fraud in California. Trump’s reelection campaign and the Republican National Committee have budgeted millions to fight expansions in court.
