California has sued Shasta County over Measure B, which voters approved to eliminate most mail-in voting and require government-issued photo ID. - The lawsuit argues Measure B violates state election laws and must be struck down before November.
- Measure B would require in-person voting on a single day and create a separate county voter registration system. - The state previously won a similar lawsuit against Huntington Beach over voter ID requirements.
- Shasta County has a history of election skepticism, including hand-counting ballots and eliminating drop boxes. The state is urging a quick decision to avoid disrupting the November election.
