Now, with Newsom and state officials trying to stop it, the city is gearing up for a legal showdown.
The voter ID saga started on March 5, when Huntington Beach voters approved Measure 1, formally known as the Voter ID and Election Rules Amendment. The amendment gives the city the authority to require identification from voters in future elections, alongside the creation of infrastructure to support the measure. Huntington Beach’s decision came despite strong opposition from local and state Democrats.
