California Attorney General Rob Bonta and Secretary of State Shirley Weber filed a lawsuit to strike down Shasta County's Measure B, which would overhaul the county's election system. - Measure B requires government-issued photo ID for voter registration and in-person voting.
- It eliminates vote-by-mail and most early voting, mandates hand-counting of ballots, and creates a separate county voter registration system. - The lawsuit argues Measure B exceeds county authority and is preempted by state law.
- The state seeks a quick ruling to ensure uniform election rules for the November midterms.
